clothes i have made.....

this is just a random collection of items I have made over time.


I love this top, it has been made from and old scarf I bought from a second hand market a while back.

This top has been very popular, I think it is because of the bold colours and shapes.














 I love this dress, It was made from some fabric I got from my grandmas collection, I am sure I remember it been used a table cloth on a bedside table.

This is one of the first itemns I ever made I had hand sewn the whole lot while it was still on the stand. I think it's great because of the details and embroidery on the original piece.

This dress is made from some ikea fabric I given, I love the colours in this....


This top was originally a knitted jumper, I bought it with a large square missing from the centre, I saw it and knew exaclty what I wanted to do with it.

ebay!!

Well today I have been checking out the 'good old' ebay. I have been looking for display ideas for the craft show in March and also any other craft fairs I am hoping to do this year. I did come up with some great ideas for a job lot of wooden boxes, they are only small wooden boxes but thought they could have alsorts of uses! I could put some on the wall for shelves (very small shelves) and stack a few up for displays at different parties... I could make up little gift packs with toiletries and other gifts!

I have also been looking up ideas for how I can create more storage in my utility room, Not that its much of a room really more like a cuboard without a door! But either way it needs a good storage solution, shelves! I will be making a nice bag storage for all them bags you collect up, I do have a bag container I bought from Ikea but it doesn't seen to hold enough either that or I jsut have too many carrier bags! Making the bag is on my list of things to do tomorrow!

Night I have cut out lots of patterns and shapes ready for cut out my fabrics, going to get ready for valentines day! should have started ages ago really but 'ya no' time just runs away from you!

I will get round to taking a load of photos of all the different things I have going on, so you can see whats I have been doing, and also try and give you all lots of inspiration!
