My Week in Photos | #1

Hello everyone!

I've been super busy sewing all week so no amazingly planned post! I thought i'd just post a few photos of my week for you!

Loki's 1st Birthday

Loki turned 1 on Monday! It's not his actual birthday but It's the day we got him.. It actually hurts my heart to see how big he's gotten, HE WAS SO TINY!

Sister Sister

I went to stay with my Sister for a little while this week because it's nice to get away and do no work for a bit! We hang out & Mooched in TKMAXX which is always good. Love a good mooch we do.

Sew on Sew Forth

I love this pattern that I got home to! I'm so excited to sew it I'm going fabric shopping after work this weekend to get the Red stripe outfit!!

Funkadelic

This is a commission I worked on last week for a friend, She wanted something really 1990's for a Festival and she was so happy with it! It's not quite my style but I have to say it's very cute! I also made a matching throw over blouse too!

Spring has Sprung

How lovely are these blossoms? I stopped whilst walking to the shop to take this pic after hesitating...it was too pretty to pass up even if there was a man watching me take the picture from a weird angle hahaha

Old is New

Me and my Mum went through a load of old sewing & knitting equipment and supplies on Thursday, She gave me all of these cotton reels for my sewing. Some of them were my Nanny's which is cool and cute!

Denim Dreams

This jacket was another treasure me and my mum dug out, It was my sisters when she was 15! It was very trendily bought from New Look's 915 Range in probably around 2002 haha! It fits like a glove & I LOVE IT.

Just a few photos, Let me know if you liked this because I'll happily do more posts like this :)

Hello!

Here's an outfit I wore out shopping with my Paps on Friday, It was so warm and I braved bare legs! 

I recently purchased my first Polo Neck top from Hidden Fashion for £5, I wouldn't normally spend so much on a plain top before but often their website sells out quickly & I wanted it! 

I wore my Polo Neck with this Swoon dress that I made last year! It's just a basic shift dress but it's so cute & probably one of y favourite things I've sewn!

The Top goes really nicely underneath & I felt super 60's.

I took my Kylijane Fluffy bag with me which doesn't often leave my side, This outfit needed some fluff! I love it loads it's so cute!

Also check out my epic hair flick!

I put on my ASOS Dolly Shoes with this because CUTE & My H&M Beige Blazer because although it was sunny there was a chilly wind! My bum was reeeeet cold! lol :-)

Hope you love this outfit as much as me!
