Little people clothes

I made my brother this little robot shirt, and its his favorite! Your little boy could also have his own little robot shirt, i have fabric enough for one more! I'd grab it before it goes if i was you!




You can leave a comment below and i'll get back to you, you can message me on my little page or, i'll add a hyperlink about here when it's been uploaded to etsy!

The price will be £25 + p&p, it'll be fully over locked, the buttons will be odd(unless you request otherwise) and your little man will look gorgeous in it!

Sew, sew and sew!

It's been a while since i posted anything, and i'm going for a different take.

Everyday, i wake up and think about sewing. If i'm not going to my grandmas house to sew, i'm going to the local sewing bee at Hannahsroom.co.uk. Or, i'm in my pyjamas, and i roll out my room, into the next room and sit at my machine. There isn't an hour each day, that i don't think about sewing. 

Thats why, today, i'm pleased to announce, that i will start selling some of my makes. Primarily childrens clothes (yes, boys too, I want to make sure i do a good mixture of boys and girls), some quilts too, and on the odd occasion adults clothes. I can also make cushions and do free hand machine embroidery. I will try to be fresh with my business, and create unique pieces that are made to last.

If you want to take a look at my items, i post to my instagram page and also my facebook page. I will be posting more on here too, and will perhaps have items I will sell on here first. It will be made to order primarily, but i will make items to show off my patterns and what i can do. 

Wish me luck

'My Precious'

This is my blog post that i promised AGES ago, on how to DIY shorts. You may have seen my Levi shorts, that i wrote a post about, with a material patch on half of them. They cost a fortune to buy Levi shorts remade, so i thought it'd do it cheaper!  So bought some Levi shorts of Facebook for £7! The material was an old skirt i had, that i have never worn! After receiving the shorts, and cutting them down so they weren't so long, i drew out a pattern, just by putting paper over the shorts and drawing around the half i wanted. I then pinned this to the skirt, and cut it out. I hand sewed it on to the shorts, which isn't really that hard, making sure i turned the edges over, so it doesn't fray! I am proud of how they turned out at such a small price too!




Some small tips i have:
 Tip one: iron your material and shorts first.
Tip two: Don't cut your shorts too short, like i think i may have!
Tip three: Make sure you don't sew the material all the way through round the pockets, else you won't have access to your pockets! Just go through the pocket and not the actual leg!

If anyone needs any help with their shorts, just ask!

'You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!'

So, this blog post is going to be boring, no pictures or anything, yeah, I'm sat in a digger at work. It has made me realise, I make to many plans. So far, I have to finish off my dress, my skirt, a jacket and a patchwork quilt. As well as start some shorts that I have material for. Also, doing my liebster award post! I have even started planning other things to make. I just get so bored sticking to one thing! My mum has even put an order in for me!  I even know what I want to make after, a film bag and some decoupage doc martens. My issue with both these things though is that it's going to take a while. So this is my pledge! If anyone has any old 35mm films, used or expired would you send them to me?(; I'd love to make a bag without spending a fortune! Also, if anyone has any doc martens(I doubt this one) I don't even mind if they're not my size, and extremely battered, if just love to decoupage a pair but would hate to spend a fortune on some and ruin them! If you have any of these items, feel free to email me!(: Thankyou all! I will post finishing pictures!
