Arrgh! Jim Lad!

I have made a decision. I have not planned when exactly I'll do this project, except to say that it will be before 2009 finishes... I want to make myself the pictured John Galliano pirate inspired jacket.

Ever since seeing Rose (Billlie Piper) wear a union jack shirt in season one of Dr Who, I have wanted to have this piece in my wardrobe. Hmm... Nothing says 'target' like a good old fashioned union jack.

Show Stopper Studio

There is a fantastic website that I want to hype about - called SHOWstudio. I stumbled across SHOWstudio when I followed a link to a free John Galliano pirate jacket pattern (as pictured below). 

I love this jacket. There is something about it that reminds me of David Bowie from the movie Labyrinth.

At SHOWstudio you will find in-depth coverage of the fashion industry. This site has a unique quality as it is able to shed a lot of light on to an industry that is normally so cagey. The site has broken down a wall between audience and the artists who are able to share a piece of themselves and the work they do. Very insightful for those wanting to break into the fashion industry or even those just mildly curious.
