My first dress!

Well, I have decided that my first project is a beautiful dress by Colette patterns.  I am going to make the short sleeved version minus pockets in a stunning medium weight black cotton with white shoes sketched on it.  Absolute bargain from Franklins in Ipswich!

Decided this dress will be perfect for work as well as play with the right accessories.

I have a huge list of clothes that I fancy making but I need to start with something nice and simple to build up my confidence and skills.

On a non crafts note, I have decided to attempt a diet that is very close to veganism....I just hope I can begin to like tofu as I currently cannot stand the stuff!!

Corsage Time!

This is a corsage I made from 'Chic' as well - needs a bit of work but overall I think it is quite cute!!

A purse made out of a tie!

I got this idea from 'Chic on a Shoestring' and made this purse out of an old tie! Really cute and perfect for putting coins, etc in. My partner's tiny Sony also fits in her perfectly!

Sorry for being away for so long!!

Have had a rather stressful couple of weeks!  Have made a few bits and bobs with my trusty sewing machine and will post details soon!

My next project is a Colette Peony dress out of a stunning black fabric with a beautiful shoe print :) I <3 pretty things!! xx
