Sewing the Iconic Betty Draper Floral Dress with Bow

June 10, 2022June 13, 2022Leave a comment

Ah, the Betty Draper dress; a coveted vintage unicorn hunted by many yet owned by a few. After many years of hunting this unicorn, I managed to finally own a copy of the infamous Betty Draper dress yet my love for her didn't end there. Many of us have a 'to do' list that's more … Continue reading Sewing the Iconic Betty Draper Floral Dress with Bow

Sewing Pattern Review: McCalls M7950

April 4, 2022April 27, 20221 Comment

As summer is slowly starting to wrap up, although it always has a few more hot days as a final hurrah so I know it's not over just yet, I thought I'd go ahead and sew up a modern pattern that I believe can be styled vintage. Today's pattern of choice is McCall's M7950 looking … Continue reading Sewing Pattern Review: McCalls M7950

It's almost Valentines and love is certainly in the air. Valentines is not always about romantic love so I often celebrate with my friends and go out on many mini-dates during this time. I love getting ready for cute dates with either my hubby or my friends and it gives me a chance to wear … Continue reading How to Make a Heart Shaped Beret – 2 ways

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?
