Making a Vintage Christmas Tree Hat – 1950’s Festive Crafting

December 10, 2021December 9, 20211 Comment

I sometimes get worried when I receive a message from a friend saying "I saw this and thought of you" as it really could mean a lot of things; the other week I received two different images/illustrations of a lady with a towering mini Christmas tree on her head. Oh my gosh I can see … Continue reading Making a Vintage Christmas Tree Hat – 1950’s Festive Crafting

It's officially October which means I get to dress up in all my Halloween inspired outfits. As much as I love all things Halloween, I do still love pastel colours, cuteness and all things aggressively floral. To celebrate the start of October, I thought I'd combine my love for Halloween and also my love for … Continue reading Making a Pink Witches Hat Inspired by The Love Witch

How to Wear Vintage in Winter

May 22, 2020June 2, 2020Leave a comment

As the weather cools down and the temperature drops, now is the time to put away your lovely summery dresses and sandals and find your fluffy cardigans and faux-fur wraps. I often get asked how do I manage to stay warm when it’s cold outside without freezing; winter is a time to embrace earthy tones, … Continue reading How to Wear Vintage in Winter

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?
What are your weekend plans? I'm having an Endo flare up so if I manage to get up off the couch, that's me being productive. In spirit I'll be off adventuring ❤️
Is it weird to miss a certain fabric? I'm still obsessed with this yellow retro floral fabric from @pbsfabrics and I've already got it in green and soon to be pink. But, I want to make another dress out of the yellow. I know I'm on a fabric shopping ban but should I break it to get some more of this gorgeous yellow? It's just so pretty and I want it on a dress with sleeves! Thoughts?
Is everyone ready for Easter weekend? I'm not putting up my decorations this year due to renovations but I still have some Easter baking to do. Do you have an Easter tradition?
