🐤🐦 yellow and blue 🐦🐤
Please enjoy this unintentional madeline cosplay featuring my newest make 🐤
I found 3m of golden yellow linen in a charity shop and decided luck was smiling on me, so I patterned out this ruched bodice with cap sleeves. This dress makes me feel like sunshine :) I finished it early so I can wear it on my birthday!
Handmade yellow linen dress styled with thrifted items - vintage straw hat, second hand blue leather satchel, and second hand blue brogues.

🍂🍇hello friends 🍇🍂
An autumnal ootd with this nice linen dress - I altered the neckline to suit me better and added a cute velvet ribbon tie!
Everything but the flowers are thrifted - the dress is pre owned from ebay, the shoes, bag, chain, pendant and tiny gold bracelet are all from local charity shops.
I'm especially pleased with my chain and phaistos disc pendant- found in different places at different times, but both have real gold! Should I do a post of my thrifted jewellery treasures?

Please your honour, I had no idea I was making the Barbie dress, it was September 2022 and I made it because I got a pink gingham tablecloth for £5
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🌸 outfit with a friend :") 🌸
Saw pink gingham tablecloth for a fiver, you can extrapolate from there (:
This piece isnt my usual colour, but it goes so nice with green and tan I feel like she deserves some space in my closet.
🐸 this delightful little jumper frog is from BrownRabbitCrafts on Etsy, I love him very much 😭💖
🌸 pink gingham sundress - sundress self draft bodice plus circle skirt styled with thrifted boden cardigan, sunhat, woven bag and compass necklace.

🍄I loved this sage gingham (duvet cover) as soon as I clapped eyes on it, and I knew exactly what I wanted to make :")
🌱Self drafted sundress bodice with button placket and back shirring, with self draft tiered skirt. Styled with thrifted cardi and hat, and a little enamel mushroom necklace from mairijewellery.bigcartel.com 🍄
🍄Drafting that tiered skirt was hard! Proportions for a flattering waist-hip ratio are actually quite delicate (I have no hips), so I wound up making the top tier 2.5x waist and the same length as the side bodice after a LOT of trial and error ;_;

🐤Hello friends, I've done so much sewing lately but no updates for you, how neglectful!
🐤Please accept my humble offering of this, possibly the happiest piece of clothing I've ever had on my body. It has secret egg pockets 🍳 and two amusingly mutated ducks along the seam lines 😂
🐤Pattern is my self drafted orange sundress pattern, fabric is a cotton hubble with ducks! from poundfabrics.co.uk. The secret egg fabric was a gift :")
🐤Pictured with handmade Untitled Goose and thrifted accessories.

⚘Weekend WIP⚘
This weekend I'm working on my Burgundy Voile dress with Big Dramatic Sleeves :")
It's been a bit of a journey making this piece, I flubbed the sleeve length and made the bodice too big, but now it fits great and I'm moving on to work on the decoration!
I have some machine embroidery sections I plan to fill in with hand embroidery, I'm so excited to do more!

I modified a thrifted felt hat into my cute witch hat - it has a stiffened felt covering and a wire in the brim so it can be shaped to suit my face and hair.
