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.

        1. In South Africa they are blatantly sold as spinach. Ahh … but I just realised that there is a translation problem. Both mangelwurzel and chard are translated as Mangold in German. You do eat chard, don’t you?

  15. Lovely!
    My grandfather was a tailor, designer and atalier owner and had his own patent for a novel kind of seam at one point. I remember going to his workshop and rumaging in all the button boxes.

  19. My life is very small these days. But the birds keep me from going stir crazy.

    My mother used to do that kind of stitchery among many others. She was a brilliant seamstress and a pretty good potter as well as a painter. I was always envious of people who had the kind of hands that could create such things. I a not one of them.
