November 2, 2020October 30, 20206 Comments

It feels a bit strange to be planning a wedding when the world is in the midst of a pandemic. So much has been going wrong, so many ideas have flown out the window and many times we've had to start looking at backups of our backup plans. Alas, we've gotten this far and are … Continue reading My Vintage Wedding; Bridal Shower

Miss Weekend on Wheels Pinup Competition

It feels about time to start writing about pinup pageants and competitions; Im not a veteran nor do I have 100 titles but pageants are something that I've started getting into and I find them a lot of fun. Although I plan to write about them generally, I thought it might be nice to reflect … Continue reading Miss Weekend on Wheels Pinup Competition

I have an irrational fear of plugging in a vintage electronic and zapping myself across the room. It's never happened but one day ...
The Betty Draper dress is an iconic vintage dress with quite a following. I've wanted to sew my own for over 6 years and finally made decent version. It's not perfect and I'm keen for another go at it soon.
When your sewing hobby starts becoming a problem...
All my needle felting friends will appreciate this one 🀣 I really wanted to be good at needle felting but it's just not a skill I possess. What's a skill you wish you were good at?
Haters will say this is a filter but you clearly cant handle natural beauty. 🀣 All jokes aside, if filters make you feel better about yourself then use them. I sometimes use them to hide blemishes when my cystic acne flares up not gonna lie. Most of the time i dont bother because im learning to get comfortable sharing my skin as it is. Is it clear? Nope. Does it bother me? Yep. But does it matter at the end of the day what people say about my spots? NOPE! You do you boo!
I've already shared this outfit on my blog but I'm still in absolute love with it! This custom made top and shorts is from @turningheadsbycarolina who are an incredible woman-run small business specialising in tropic vintage outfits πŸ’š Everything is made by hand custom to you and is fantastic quality. This outfit has my heart πŸ’š Go check out her things and show her some love ❀️ Full review on this set in my bio link.
Just incase you needed to hear this message πŸ’›
Day dreaming of fields of gold πŸ’› can't wait to come back here, hopefully sometime this year but who knows!
I can find true vintage sewing patterns a bit of a challenge but McCalls 5142 was a dream to sew. I got this pattern from @thevintagepatternshop and used fabric from @minervadotcom which I've had in my stash for a few years.
Probably my favourite dress that I've made this year. I'm still obsessed with this cute retro floral fabric from @spotlightstores and now I need more dresses with collars and sleeves.
