Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick 6322 by Gertie

June 6, 2022June 6, 2022Leave a comment

I'm sure I'm not the only one who starts a dress, puts it down halfway through and then forget's about it for absolute ages. It's easy to get overwhelmed with new fabrics and patterns and some projects just get left behind; this is my story with Butterick 6322. I started this dress in 2016, yes … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: Butterick 6322 by Gertie

This is becoming a yearly tradition here on my blog and Instagram but it's time to share this year's Vintage Easter Lamb Cake baking adventure. This is the third year we've given this cake a go and after last year's absolute catastrophe, this year can only be an improvement. This year I was inspired by … Continue reading Baking 2022’s Vintage Easter Lamb Cake

Baking a Vintage Easter Lamb Cake that went Horribly Wrong

April 30, 2021March 21, 20223 Comments

Last year I made a vintage lamb cake for Easter and I was so proud of how it turned out. This year, I was even more excited to make another one and after reading one of my favourite children's book to my niece and nephew, 'Where is the Green Sheep?', I thought I'd make a … Continue reading Baking a Vintage Easter Lamb Cake that went Horribly Wrong

Buying Fake Vintage from Ebay

April 20, 2020April 19, 20205 Comments

As we all know, online shopping can often be hit or miss. Although I do buy vintage online, I've done it for long enough to know what to look for (blog on this topic coming soon), but I also buy a fair amount of retro reproductions. Buying cheap retro reproductions is a completely different story. … Continue reading Buying Fake Vintage from Ebay

We’re All Mad Here – Dealing with Disappointment

September 20, 2019September 24, 20192 Comments

As we all know by now, life is full of disappointment; you don't get that collaboration you wanted, that vintage dress you wanted is the wrong size, you didn't win that title you worked hard for and your social media growth is non-existant... and these are just the ones I've heard from pinup friends over … Continue reading We’re All Mad Here – Dealing with Disappointment

Day dreaming of fields of gold 💛 can't wait to come back here, hopefully sometime this year but who knows!
It might be time for me to start knitting again, it's been a while but it's the perfect lap craft for couch and movie days. I've got a few vintage patterns I'd love to try but I'm a little nervous of starting. Do you over think projects or just get on with it? I'm a chronic overthinker haha!
Im looking forward to a quiet and rainy weekend of rest, recovery and the joy of hot tea with cinnamon. What is your favourite way to warm up in winter? It's so cold at the moment here 🥶
Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
