It's a Janome CLX301 with tons of settings and it's the one they use at Sew Over It and The Make Lounge. <br />

I absolutely love it and I've literally not stopped using it since I got it a few weeks ago, I'm a woman possessed. So far I've made three skirts, some bits for the kitchen, a bag (pictures to follow) and I'm currently in the process of making a tea dress although I keep getting distracted by little mini (hic easier) projects like this sewing machine cover. I adore my sewing machine but it's not the most attractive thing and the cover that came with it is criminally hideous. With this fact in mind I set to work on a cover more suited to my taste. I used a method that I got from Kate's blog <a href="http://misformake.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/m-is-for-make-sewing-machine-cover.html">M is for Make</a>, great lesson, bad student.<br />

The buzz, the excitement and anticipation all threaten to overwhelm me. <br />
<br />
Do I have a problem, possibly.<br />
<br />
Do I care, no (particularly as half of it goes back...)<br />
<br />
I've been somewhat silent in the recent months. Work, life and boring chores are doing their best to slowly and silently takeover my life but NO MORE! I'm back and staying put. What I will say is that winter is general a good time of year for me present wise, I have Christmas, my birthday, valentines and mothers day back to back for four months which equals lots and lots of presents!<br />
<br />
So one of, or the most favourite present and officially the best parcel I've ever received is revealed below and is I've decided, how all parcels should arrive presented.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you are by now all aware, I was fortunate enough to visit Pashley HQ in beautiful Somerset with the boy recently. As well as being completely blown away with the way they manufacture and the care and attention that goes into every detail I was also there to have an up close and personal look at their new range of accessories. </div>

I met with the gorgeous Chloe who talked me through the inspiration behind the collection - you'll be happy to know it was their customers - and very kindly talked me through the new line whilst somehow managing to ignore my drooling...<br />

I am so in love with the print, i'm calling the Pashley print as i'm not sure what it's actually called but it's beautiful, it features on quite a few of the accessories and it's the on their wall. Cue jealousy, I want that wallpaper, it would look amazing in my hallway. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">I love bags, they are and have always been my thing (apart from all things Pashley of course) and i've been known to spend far too much money on them particularly pre-mortgage. It's so hard to chose my favourite bag that i'm not even going to try.</span></div>

My absolute favourite item is the Princess blazer. The cut is flawless and the wool is so soft and warm I couldn't stop stroking it. This is definitely on my wish list. It's lined with the Pashley print and has stylish reflective tweed on the back panel and underside of the collar.</div>

Why, you might ask, was I making this pilgrimage? Well, I was taking up Pashley's very kind invitation of a tour of my favourite bike-maker's factory. Not only was I going to get to see how Pashleys are made, but I was to be treated to an inside look at their new range of accessories and attire <a href="http://www.pashleycollection.co.uk/">The Pashley Collection.</a> More about that next week - far too many pictures for one post!</div>

In my excitement, we arrived a bit earlier than agreed at Pashley HQ, a small factory just outside the centre of Stratford Upon Avon. We were warmly greeted by Adrian Williams (above), the company's CEO. Adrian had to dash off to do some very important things, but left us in the capable hands of John Conod, (below) who handles a lot of the sales & marketing for Pashley, although as I was to find out, the tiny front office team muck in with pretty much everything. I don't know how you imagine Pashley HQ to be, but there certainly isn't a trendy-specs wearing marketing team or anything like that. </div>

After a cup of tea, John took us on a fantastic tour of the Pashley factory, where we got to see my beloved Pashleys being born, I literally almost exploded with excitement at this point, Steve had to ask me to stop shreiking... As Adrian later reminded us, Pashley are one of only three bicycle makers in the UK. Nearly every part of the bikes are made in the Stratford Upon Avon factory or by local specialist tradesmen. I was so excited to see each step of the bike's creation from parts to gleaming painted frames.<br />
<br />
Ooh., some good news, as we all know one of the most frustrating things about ordering a Pashley is the wait until your beauty arrives, but thanks to improvements in the manufacturing process and a fantastic team, the times are down from up to six weeks to three for most.</div>

I've never mentioned this before, but Steve has always professed his indifference to cycling and prior to our little trip couldn't quite see what all the fuss was about. I know right! Bloomin' cheek! You will notice though how taken he is by this beauty and since then he's been making enquiries. He's now struggling to choose between the Roadster and the parabike! My vote goes to the Roadster.</div>

<span style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">After the workshop and showroom, we caught up again with Adrian, who very kindly gave up his time to tell us how he became involved with the company and the ideas behind his vision. A modest, self-deprecative guy, Adrian is a very clever fellow with a background in aerospace engineering. However, what impressed me most was his passion for making things in Britain and his commitment to making the best bikes his company can. Adrian's involvement with Pashley began in no small part because of a long bike ride he made with a friend where he remembered just how much fun cycling is. By this time Adrian had left his job and was looking to start his own business and Pashley came along at just the right time, it was fate. </span><span style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">Another of the things that impresses me and really impressed the boy is their commitment to simply making high quality, traditional bikes that have the features that we all love - no cutting corners here! Also, it's wonderful to see thats Pashley are committed to taking on young, local apprentices and several of them have turned out to be rather good - got to see a few students and trainees in action which was lovely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">As a lovely surprise, Adrian shows us some items from the archive. An original ledger book from 1936 and some of their vintage adverts which really was a treat, i was so worried i'd damage it somehow that I didn't actually touch anything. Due to my constant clumsiness, im rarely asked to hold breakables and I've learned to never, ever touch glass display, ever (again) - long story (ie</span></span><span style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">s)</span></span></div>

In this episode, Chic cyclists from London and beyond should all be familiar with Caz, cycling blogger and Miss 'Cycle Chic' but did you know that her velo of choice is a Pashley Poppy! I know, it makes perfect sense right, beautiful, functional and well beautiful. I found this video which is an oldie but a goodie where Caz explains her love affair with her pale blue Pashley Poppy and her crusade against helmet-hair.
Also, loving the pannier - SNAP!

A couple of weeks ago, I went to <a href="http://www.themakelounge.com/">The Make Lounge</a> to try their bespoke <a href="http://www.themakelounge.com/workshops/detail/290">lampshade</a> course. I'd been looking for the perfect shade to go on my Graham and Green Tripod lamp (bought sans shade from their warehouse sale for less than half price).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've gone over to the dark side and painted my living room in Farrow and Ball's Downpipe - partially thanks to Abigail Ahern whom I love! Her sister's flat is my dream home and i have to admit to taking a lot of inspiration from.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, back to the course... it was amazing and actually really simple. A strip of fabric, some double sided tape and the er, lampshade kit and I was good to go! I wanted something to offset the grey that had a retro feel - what do you think (ignore the mess)?</div>

side note: i've since changed my blinds as I broke one of them and then realised that actually white blinds would be nicer convinient huh?!?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084108823766469051.post-79407517989278299532012-10-13T03:58:00.003-07:002012-10-13T03:58:55.836-07:00Celebrities on Bicycles - oh and Audrey Hepburn...I'm feeling a bit guilty, I've not blogged forever! I should hang my head in shame and be forever banished from the bloggers community. Or perhaps not, I've been so incredibly busy with a couple of other projects and end of the school year and just life. Also, I blog for fun through my love (hic obsession) with bicycles so I suppose it's okay to occasionally fall off the wagon. However, I'm sorry all. It won't happen again, probably...<br />
<br />
I feel like the chic cycling movement (not sure thats the right word but hey ho) is growing and now i see at least 1 or 2 Pashley's or similar, everybody is at it and it gives me such joy. Occasionally a bit too much joy as I'm prone to smiling at strange cyclists and staring and smiling. This is ok when I'm cycling but when I'm in the car or walking, not so much! Apparently there are over 500,000 journeys by bicycle in London every day so I shouldn't be surprised.<br />
<br />
Ok, so it's easy to look good on a bicycle right? wrong - unless it's a Pashley in which case the job is done for you!!! However, for the likes of Beyonce, Hilary duff, Hanneli Mustaparta, Lily Cole, Mary Kate Olsen, Marisa Tomei and Helena Christensen it comes naturally - not that I'm jealous or anything...<br />

Such an amazing buzz, the crowd, the stadium, the beer and the singing (we were sat behind a group of about 20 from Ireland who kept breaking out into song and in front of a group of Brazilians all dressed up in wigs with whistles and a sign which said "They have the queen, we have Marta") I did try to get a picture of them but they er, wouldn't keep still!</div>

I'm feeling a bit guilty, I've not blogged forever! I should hang my head in shame and be forever banished from the bloggers community. Or perhaps not, I've been so incredibly busy with a couple of other projects and end of the school year and just life. Also, I blog for fun through my love (hic obsession) with bicycles so I suppose it's okay to occasionally fall off the wagon. However, I'm sorry all. It won't happen again, probably...</div>

I feel like the chic cycling movement (not sure thats the right word but hey ho) is growing and now i see at least 1 or 2 Pashley's or similar, everybody is at it and it gives me such joy. Occasionally a bit too much joy as I'm prone to smiling at strange cyclists and staring and smiling. This is ok when I'm cycling but when I'm in the car or walking, not so much! Apparently there are over 500,000 journeys by bicycle in London every day so I shouldn't be surprised.</div>

Last weekend, Mr Man and I went to Teddington for a friends birthday. It's so picturesque and quiet, I could so see myself living there. Until that is, I got back to NW10. It's not quiet or pretty in the same way but it's electric, diverse and has this unmistakable energy. Born and bred in inner London, even though I toy around with the idea of 'moving out', I'm not sure I could ever actually leave.

One thing I particularly love about London is how quickly things move, people come and go, always something to do, different events every weekend, pop up shops. Willesden Green has a great new initiative that I've mentioned previously on my blog called Queens Parade. I went to their launch party and can't keep away! It's like a mini Portobello Green with an art shop, juice bar, interior design and craft shop to name a few plus a great vintage clothes shop, <a href="http://vintagegreene.blogspot.co.uk/">Vintage Green</a>, that has a weekly clothes swap, hmmm...</div>

It's taken me a ridiculously long time to post this as i've just been so crazy busy. May is always a crazy month for me but this one was even more crazy what with birthdays (I know a lot of Gemini's), weekends away and school shenanigans!<br />
<br />
Anyway, as much as I said that I didn't have a ticket, I entered a competition with Pashley and I WON!!! This was my first Tweed Run (I always apply too late...) and it was absolutely amazing. I loved it and will most definitely be doing it again. Much fun was had and i was super inspired by all the gorgeous outfits I saw, especially all the fur.<br />
<br />

The tickets are £10 each which covers the admin but I can guarantee it will be so worth it. The route is about 14 miles and promises to be manageable for cyclists of all abilities which is perfect for me as I like to cycle slowly, no sweat allowed. Apparently, we will visiting Shakespeare's birthplace during the ride and what with my name being Titania, I can't help being a little bit excited. I wonder if I'd be such a Shakespeare fan if I wasn't named after one of his characters...</span><br />

It's so much easier than I had thought and something I would definitely do at home. The most difficult after whether to go for red or white wine was choosing the scents. The Make Lounge use essential oils which are very strong and it was hard to get the balance fright between the overpowering base notes and the floral top note I wanted to go for. In the end I went for Lemon and vanilla which is lovely and sweet and makes me feel warm and cosy.<br />

I love the little seat on the first one. Christina Hamilton chose to use Saddlery as the basis of her design and technical process for her MA final project. Christina is a trained saddler and felt there was much more that could be done with the techniques used in the Saddlery. She started to think of the new ways that people carry bags and how they travel. She came to the conclusion that the collection should be able to be fitted onto the bicycle and be able to be used off the bicycles.<br />

The reason why I choose to keep the artifacts resembling saddles, was for the over all concept of the “Displacement of the Saddle” the displacement of the saddle has a number of meanings:<br />
- Displacement. –From saddlery as function and craft to artefact.<br />
- Saddlery, which has beautiful form and function with equisetic craftsmanship to a fashion artefact. A fashion artefact that acknowledges saddlery traditions of being Aesthetic pleasing but perform its function.<br />
- The idea of Displacement and a repositioning of saddlery was also part of the design process where 2d flat images of the saddle and their component parts were displaced and reorganised to create the artefact.<br />
- The bicycle also displaced the horse, and hence the fashion artefact displaces the saddle.<br />
- I propose that in today’s society the bicycle has replaced the horse.<br />
- Automotive transport is also being replace and people are returning to the bicycle, as the cost of petrol continually increases and commuters choose bicycles to travel around London<br />
Much as the traveller of the past needed a good saddle, today’s commuter needs to transport their belonging but then be able to walk into the boardroom in style with possessions that reflect their status.<br />

They've warned us to forget what we think we know about Alice, this is Wonderland with a darker twist.

Velorution on Great Portland Street is famous for it's bicycles and chic accessories and has been a fixture in Central London for the last 7 years. I've often walked by and longed after everything in their window display and I got my gorgeous Sawako Furuno helmet from there.<br />
<br />
I received this email from them today;<br />
<br />
"Dear Titania,<br />
<br />
Velorution will be closing its doors on 5th May. You have five weeks to catch a bargain.We are discounting ALL stock items up to 50%. You are unlikely to find better bargains this spring. Our workshop will be functional until the 27th April, so if your bike needs a spring tune-up, do come and visit us.<br />
<br />
Thank you for supporting us these past seven years; it has been a privilege to service you all. London has been transformed and that is thanks to you. In spite of all the broken promises by the politicians, you show everyday, by cycling to work or with your children, how beautiful this city could be.<br />
Thank you for doing your part in realising the Velorution dream!"<br />
<br />
A very, very sad day and I hope he continues to be part of the cycling community. Now, the silver lining here is that EVERYTHING IS 50% OFF! I have my eye on these two items...<br />
