Dress Making Project 01 Maxi Dress - Starting out

Time for another project I think... This time I am going to try to turn my hand to dress making. I have my cousin's wedding coming up in July and as money is rather tight I thought I'd make myself a dress. As the wedding is going to be in America it's meant to be very hot so I thought I nice floaty maxi dress would be good. Obviously it needs to be REALLY easy to make as I've not made any clothes since making a pair of burberry print trousers about 18 years ago (yes, they were as bad as they sound).

So I've bought some fabric and now I need to think what sort of dress I'd like to make. As I spent more that I should have on the fabric I'm going to try to make it without a pattern. This could be a very bad idea... we shall see. Anyway here is the fabric and bits that I bought on Saturday from the Singer shop in Woking. Also there are some shots of Pearl my mum's ancient, work-horse Singer machine whose services I will be calling up again for this project. It's good to see that Singer haven't changed their logo for at least 30 years.

May Flowers and some that will be soon... I hope...

My garden is beginning to come into colour- although so far all of it is from plants
that were already in the garden before I moved in. They're looking lovely this week
in the sun though. So here is the peony, rhododendron and something else that I've
no idea what it is..






And now for the flowers that aren't quite there yet- but here's hoping this weather will continue and they'll grow soon and fill my rather barren flower beds! So in order from top left blueberry tree, decorative grass, giant delphiniums, cerinthe blue kiwi, sea holly, my little veg patch, Himalayan poppies and some hostas and my little herb garden

Interiors Mini Project 03 Martha's Curtains

I've finally got round to properly lining and hemming the curtains in Martha's Room.

I still love them- the fabric is from Ikea and I think is perfect for a little girls
room without being too girly

Interiors Mini Project 01 Feeling a bit Banksy

Got the paint.
Looking good so far. Just need to cut, sand and drill the hardwood dowel
and oil it and hope it goes back together properly.
