Made some stuff

This is the dress I made yesterday out of the material in my (Sinead's) last post. I also bought some lace and a zip for it with Sophie (also mentioned in a previous post, I think).

I'm quite proud of it. Above is the lace detailing on the collar thing, and a bow in the centre. I had a bit of trouble getting the waist the right size, but I think it's fine now.

Here's a skirt I made today, and a better look at the whole dress behind it. I like the little skirt, it's made of the same fabric as the collar I made ages ago. I think I might make a habit of making my own clothes, and making them as presents for other people too.

For my next project I plan to make a skirt, either made of kitten-patterned fabric or with some form of kitten embellished on it, and with lilac ribbon and buttons. WATCH THIS KITTEN-OBSESSED SPACE.

Kisses,

Sinead

So many dresses today

 Seal socks and vintage DM shoes. I looove these shoes, they go with everything. Chunky shoes are the best.

Silly face

 Red polo shirt thing with swallow motif.

New skirt.

 I made on of my old dresses (inherited from a cousin) into a midi skirt. I thought it was a waste to give it away just because it got too short as a dress, and I love the pattern, so I just turned it into a skirt. Hurray for customisation!

My loot.

Went shopping today, and came back with two dresses, some kawaiiii socks, bright tights, vintage fabric, sewing machine needles and brooch backs. And nearly all of them were total bargains, yay!

Cute bunny socks for £1, huzzah!

This pretty chiffony dealio was £5. It's really soft.

Pretty pretty pretty. I like the diamondy pattern.

Here it is on me. The perspective is strange in this picture, so my legs look small.

I basically made a dress out of the material already, but I still have to add a zip and some lace to jazz it up. I'll post some pictures soon. I'm quite proud of it, seeing as I didn't use a pattern or anything (they confuse me infinitely), yet managed to produce a nifty little summer dress with a collar and a bow and everything. 

ANYWAY, enough incessant rambling, goodnight my darling owlets.
