My Kimono

I made this Kimono back in June, when Kimonos where pretty much every where. To make mine I followed these instructions. I realise that these instructions where written so that you can make this for a child but hey! , Kimonos suit pretty much every one :).

I got my fabric at a local craft fair for an absolute bargain. I think I got 7 metres for about £3.

The original post suggested adding pompoms but I found some old black fringe at the back of my wardrobe and thought that it would work better with the material I was using.

I hope this has inspired you!

The owl dress- part 2

If any of you have been following my blog for a while, you may remember that I made a dress for my cousin for Easter. My grandparents went to visit my cousin over the summer and sent me these photos of her wearing the dress.

I thought you might like to see them as it's always different seeing an item of clothing on someone rather than see it lying down on a surface.

I'm so happy that my grandparents sent me these photos, as I'm glad to see that she is enjoying something that I made for her.

If you would like to see the original post, you will find it here and as always,

 I hope this has inspired you!

My Indian Trousers

I've recently travelled to India with a group of friends to complete a community project. If any of you have ever looked into the climate in India you will realise that it's fairly hot.

Whilst working I wanted something that wouldn't be too warm but would still be practical. So I made my self a pair of floaty trousers, that I could work in quite comfortably.

 One of the joys about having made them myself, was that I didn't feel protective of them and so didn't mind if they got trashed during the process.

 I'm afraid I didn't get any photos of the trousers before I had started working, so you get to see them in all their paint and dirt covered glory.

These trousers seem to be all the range at the moment and are an absolute dream to make, due to there being very little fitting involved.

I hope this has inspired you!
