#bpsewvember day 2: luxury - for me there’s nothing more satisfying than getting to make (and wear!) a luxe cocktail dress or ball gown - especially when celebrating the end of a five year university degree with friends ! 👩🏼‍⚕️💃🏼🌸 . . . #pinupstyle #pinup #vintagestyle #retrostyle #sewing #sewcialists #memade #vintagehair #retro #vintage https://ift.tt/2qysvJ3

Button, button

This will just be a quick one today! A few months ago I got a call from my dad’s cousin, who is a wonderfully thoughtful woman, to tell me that she’d seen two huge tubs of vintage buttons (in sets!) for sale in a charity shop for $50. Whilst I wasn’t supposed to be spending any money (cause I’d just gotten back from my lengthy Europe trip), I couldn’t resist at least seeing them and asked her to…

Tools of the trade: Madam Sew Presser Foot Set Review

Since my second year of uni, I have made my dress for the annual ball each year (and am just about to start work on this year’s!). Last year was no different – although I decided to go for a very different style to the princess dresses of 2015 and 2016!

Mad as a hatter

Ahoy there friends! It’s coming up to a year since I last managed to post here – last year was my most academically demanding year of university, and took up pretty much all my time and energy up to November. Then it was Christmas a frenzy of sewing (and no blogging) ensued; on Boxing Day I left for an overseas holiday + university placement in the UK. When I arrived back in March, I was off to…
