Top Stitching

Topstitching is a sewing technique where the line of stitching is designed to be seen from the outside of the garment, either decorative or functional. I nearly used this as my phrase for that rather natty blazer I shared a few weeks ago.

For me though today I am using ‘top’ as in ‘top end’ or ‘best’ as this garment room was created by Nicholas Daley. Nicholas is a top British fashion designer who, as you will see in the video, draws upon both his Jamaican and Scottish roots, heritage and music.
