Leather Badges

I've been really enjoying making these leather badges recently, so great to be able to make something relatively quickly and then to wear it! A really satisfying thing. X

Leather Rosette on 1930s dress

I got some offcuts of leather and the first thing I've made from them is another rosette! Got lots of ideas of things to make with my stash so watch this space! 

In other news I finished my first ever zine last weekend, check out a peek of it here: http://homedreamsdreaming.tumblr.com/

I'm getting 20 copies printed at a local place so if you'd like a free copy let me know and I'll send you one! X

Outfit: Sun Trap

 

So wonderful to be able to be in the garden all day at the weekends! I like to just sit outside and drink coffee and play with the cat and sometimes do some drawing, so relaxing ahh...

 I made this top a couple of weeks ago out of an old skirt that was unwearable because it had some stains that wouldn't come out. I'll do another post on how I made it, but I'm basically a pretty relaxed seamstress and just made it up as I went along! I might sew some flowers on it sometime to jazz it up a bit! Hope you're all having good weekends! X

My heart's in the post

Because I have no money and I enjoy doing it I mainly make presents for friends and family at the moment. I made this little pink heart for my friend Olivia's birthday and sent it to her in the post. Then there are a couple of shots of my room at the moment, I lovelovelove that silver embroidered bag that's hanging off of my mirror, it's been such a big source of inspiration for me with its delicate little acorns dangling at the bottom of it. The last photo is of the most adorable babydoll dress I'm going to be selling in my etsy shop, it's non-identical-colour twin is here. I took some fun/silly photos of me posing like a sleepy baby inspired by the film 'Marie Poupee' in this dress which I'll be putting up very soon...
