Zeezee Tee

My dear friend was blessed with the beautiful name Zoe. However, her childhood memories of searching in Gift Shops for that ever important rubber/key ring/note pad or magnet adorned with the letter Z, were full of disappointment.

Taa DAA!

I sail in with an all new Zz T shirt to save the day and provide therapy for those traumatic Gift Shop days. I actually stole the idea (this is becoming a reoccurring theme) from American Apparel, who sell the whole alphabet in Black&White, but that would be no fun!! So I tested out my not-used-before Appliqué skills and fashioned up this one. Hopefully a review will pop on here soon from the lady herself... OOoerrr.

Made by Me

Twas my friend Hellywel's Birthday last month. I made her a pretty thing.

She was very happy to get it, she thought I had bought it. Result! The photo is a bit shabby as I stayed up until silly o'clock to make it and its box.  

Dye Young Stay Pretty

I made like a witch and conjured up some potion. It was fun, I felt like a scientist. But it took quite awhile and a lot of stirring. The dress was originally a hospital pale green and a wee bit transparent. So I gave it an autumnal make over with a lovely shade of Burlesque Red. Saucy!

New Old Dress.

100%Organic cotton. Hmm, the thread slipped through the net! The synthetic thread didnt take the dye, but the pale turquoise is a nice contrast with this Loganberry purple!

Fold and Sew

At last! These have been a long project. I found a similar one on Etsy by a very clever person. I spent some time figuring out how it was made, fashioned a prototype with some random old t-shirt and then after sourcing the fabric and chain I got stuck in! I mucho like this one. And its all for ME :) 2 other lucky people have had one made too. Limited Edition!

Origami Bow Necklace Coral.

les fleurs pressées

I recently caught the Bride's bouquet at a wedding! How lovely :) These days brides do not always throw their flowers away as they want to keep them (and they are expensive!) so I thought I would press some of the flowers and give them back as a keep sake :) Also a bit of an experiment for me as I have never done it before.

Want it Wash Bag

I wanted a wash bag. It was mucho $$$ dollar. So I thought I would make one instead :) It was hard to find some really interesting Oil Cloth, but I found this print sourced in Japan by The Makery Emporium in Bath. I like how the bow is fabulously unpractical :)

I made it at a stand at The Royal Welsh Show :)
Cleverrrrrrrrrrr.

So I didnt actually make it. But I found a similar one on Etsy and luckily I have the best mum in the world who can knit like the wind! What a woman.
