Scallop Skirt

I made this skirt yesterday following the pattern found here. The measurements to fit are pretty accurate. I used 1 metre of 50% cotton, 50% polyester mix (60 inches wide).

Long Project Finished

Remember The Long Project? Well it's finished. One day I will count how many beads it took but for now I think it's approximately 600. 

Vintage

 It's not often I find something vintage I like that isn't too small (or too much money) but I love the cotton lace and button details on this shirt.

Dress - charity shop, Necklace - Accessorize

Tights - Accessorize

I met this three legged cat this morning. Adorable and very friendly but rather photo shy. It had a pretty white and silver collar so must have an owner.

Sewing Day

Now fits much better

Still a button missing!
Lucky I have fabric scraps left from where I neatened the hem.

Now looks much better!

This was going to be a tutorial about how to take in a dress from the back but my camera ate the photos.

Airship Haul Part 3

This dress I bought for my sister. It needs a little adjusting to fit perfectly but otherwise looks gorgeous on her.

This dress needs a bit of work. Missing button needs replacing and the hem sewing.
