Retro Summer Dress

I had some spare time over the past two days, so I decided to make a dress from a vintage pattern I have, Simplicity 3769. I used some lovely hawaiian - palm tree print poplin and made the sash of a plain drill. I wanted a light, simple summer dress, and also to see if the pattern worked to use for a more expensive project later in the year. This is how it turned out!


The pattern - Mine was a size 14, Bust 34.





I'm really pleased with it! :) And check out my funky retro hairstyle. Pretty nifty for something i did in ten minutes! ;D

Love Hat

Today I was inspired by Audrey Kitching's post here http://audrey.buzznet.com/user/journal/6674161/diy-topshop-heart-hat/
Making a Valentines themed fascinator / hat.
Here's a photo of mine!



I think it would be fun to make lots of different ones in different colours and shapes. :)

I'm Alive!

So I'm back from work experience, and it was great, and freezing and snowing! Such a novelty for me.
I've been feeling very creative and inspired recently and so I've made a few things including a silver dress and a Indian headress (Inspired by Audrey Kitching). So far I only have a decent photo of the headdress, but I'm wearing the silver dress this weekend so I should get a sweet photo of that for you soon! Anyways, headdress. Love it or Hate it? I love it, but my friends yesterday thought it was lame. What do you think?

Yummy Marshmellows!!! :P
