Small Treasures

I went to my first antiques fair yesterday and picked up some cute things. I plan to use the watch parts to make jewellery. The tiny gears are fascinating, some tinier than the smallest sequins. The watch casing is Victorian and I've put Lush solid perfume inside. 






Wake Up and Make a Dress

I bought this fabric from a charity shop for £1.50. It was ages until I decided to use it. It was always too plain or too girly or too fuzzy, and not quite enough of it to make a dress with sleeves. But I always wanted to make a dress in this shape despite having to alter the pattern quite a bit to fit me so I figured cheap fabric was the way to experiment. I rather like how it turned out. Any excuse for sunny shoes :-)
