Blog

I recently bought a secondhand coat online but it just wasn’t quite the right colour for what I wanted, however as I loved the fabric I hung onto it and decided to upcycle it and turn it into something else. 

This year my blog will be focusing more on my personal sewing projects so you get to follow along with all the weird, fun stuff I make myself. This particular whimsical project has been on my list for a very long time but the pattern I wanted to use, an old Vogue one for a frog backpack, wasn’t available anywhere so I finally found the time to draft my own pattern. The only thing I had to help me was a rubber, prop toad that I use on my stand at markets, so that’s where my project started.

My newest vintage style hair accessory (available Friday November 29th, at 7pm) is perfect for the festive season!  Inspired by the poinsettia, a flower traditionally given at Christmas time, this gorgeous hair clip is made of rich red, cotton velvet with vintage floral decorations. It also features an 8cm alligator clip finish, making it a very easy piece to wear. To see some hairstyles this pieces would work with read on below…

I have been hiding from the heat the last few days in front of the office fan and decided to use that time to make something I have wanted to do a blog on for a while. Although I am an autumn girl at heart I do love the long, light days of summer and I have been wanting to make a flower crown to celebrate midsummer/Summer Solstice so I gathered my suppliers and finally did just that!

I’ve recently started selling vintage true vintage scarves, these are all different colours and patterns and are perfect for tying in 1940s style turbans.
