Creative Revision Techniques: Post-it Love Heart

Around this time every year I seem to disappear off the blogging radar, this is because like many other people around the world I've started revising for the summer exams. But this year I plan to not disappear form the world of blogging and instead take you on my revision journey.

After many years of having to revise definitions for those 'easy marks', I've found that the best way for me to do this, is to write the definitions on post-its and stick them around my room.

I've also learnt that you soon become used to the post-its being there and stop noticing them, so I try to change where my post-its are every week. With this week being the run up to valentines day I thought that a heart shape would be a great way to place the post-its.

I got my original inspiration for this heart shape for the video bellow but head to down size it, as I don't have that many definitions to learn! Of course if you have more definitions than the original accommodates for, you could simply scale up the design.

I hope this has inspired you!  

My Tartan Winter Skirt

You can't deny that the tartan skirt has been the surprise star of fashion this year and when I first saw this style I knew that I really wanted one too. So I was super excited when I found a navy blue, red and white jersey tartan fabric for just 20p at my local fabric shop (I say local- it's actually a 2 hour drive away!). I completed this skirt in November and I've worn it almost everyday, that's how much I love it.

  By using a jersey I was able to make a slightly tighter fit. I made this skirt using the same technique as in my Boden skirt. The only change I made was to make the skirt slightly longer, so as to give that more sophisticated look that I love so much about the tartan skirt.

The hardest part of this project was the pattern matching due to the large block lines that are so unforgiving. But that is easily overcome if you're super careful and tack every thing before sending it through the sewing machine.

This was such a lovely skirt to make and is an even nicer skirt to wear.

I hope this has inspired you!
