Hi

For the skirt song, a bunch of people liked 'Fashion' by Lady Gaga, and also I think something was suggested by Pitbull? I'm not really fussed as long as it's walkable and fairly relevant.

Started the essay today; it's so hard to know how formal to make it, there isn't really a protocol for a textiles/fashion essay. I know where I stand with Shakespeare, but detailing issues with PVC isn't quite the same...

Hope every one's having a nice weekend :-)

cushions cushions cushions

FINALLY got my sewing machine to work after realizing that the needle hadn't been changed in over 2 years... explained a lot.. I have produced in between working at the pub 8 out of the 15 cushions I need to make.. not bad going seeing as I have made 6 today in around 4 and a half hours! Anyway here is the result before I head back to work for another 7 hour shift woop woop!

ALSO GIRLS WE NEED TO PICK A SONG!! for the skirt stuff.

My Favorite Cushions...

Just put a cushion on a chair a big no no!

the aftermath of today....

And now to make some food...

Not amazing pictures but you get the idea that I have been doing lots of sewing and making.. feeling good about them all. I will be doing a photo shoot with the chairs and cushions later this week and will be finishing off the rest of the cushions tomorrow before work again wish me luck!

They multiplied..

 Naww I think they are well cute! Really pleased with how they have turned out :)

 Some dyestuff that actually I did a couple of days ago but i really liked the picture

.. Then I just couldn't wait to sew these bits together, the shape is really good but a shame some of my embroidery was lost :( oh and plus returned the troublesome sewing machine today so I won't be complaining any more!

Its jesss, i wasnt ignoring you ive only just checked the blog. i made the pattern myself but by the looks of things you already have it all sortedddd! X

can't stop blogging

okay so it would look like this using the skirt. I actually really like it, it looks a lot better. And I almost look TALL! Just a case of whether I'm allowed to use an adapted skirt as I didn't really make it, just tweaked.

As the day develops...

BECCA, I [insert swear word] LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and also your neighbour :P

That house is perfect, couldn't ask for better and I would love love love to come and do my photo shoot there. Is Thursday 2nd June okay? Or maybe this bank holiday Monday? Let me know and say I am soooo thankful to him. Thankyouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu <3 <3 <3

Also, I went away, thought a bit and i have two more alternatives for the new bottoms.

OPTION ONE

Wet look leggings with fringing pinned on. Oh my god, wet look leggings. This is me, a picture of me, in WET. LOOK. LEGGINGS. Dear lord. They don't look tooooo bad, but I think they look a bit cheap worn with PVC? I feel like sandy at the end of Greece, except I'm not a size 4.

OPTION TWO:

This is an existing skirt my mum got for a Halloween costume. It was sort of corsetted up the front side (so classy) but I would seam that shut so it would be just a simple pencil skirt. My worry with this is that it might be cheating as I'm literally making a teeny adjustment, not constructing it. If Gayle reads this, please tell me which/if I'm allowed etc.

Thanks everyone whose given me feedback!

P.S Becca, you may have seen this already, but have you looked at 'Paper Plane' designs? There's a really cute wash bag that looks like a airmail parcel.

ISSIE!!!

I have NO idea if this is what you want but hopefully it will ease your panic a little!

The wallpaper throughout the house...

Isn't this like the deatiling you have on the back of your jumpsuit???

More of the wallpaper...

The outside...

As I said, I don't know if this is what you are looking for but let me know. I talked to him today and he says he is happy with you doing it there ... but he is going on holiday on 3rd June (friday in half term) and he can't do the tues in half term ... but neither can we coz of the fashion show rehearsals....

Anyway...
