It was an experimental process and I had fun despite frequently pricking myself (I hand-sewed it all). I'm looking forward to being experimental again once I can afford supplies again (this will probably not be until June...sigh..).
Anyway folks, here are some photos. I couldn't be bothered to work out a sophisticated way to photograph them and, as usual, there was hardly any natural light coming into the house. The colours are generally less bright than they appear here, especially the navy ribbon, which is actually quite dark. Right, enough compensating - here we go:
I'm actually in love with the blue one maddy!!i want it!
ReplyDeleteLucy xx
Tehe I'm wearing it right now.
ReplyDeleteWould you like to commission one :P?
I was thinking about monogramming it with some red and white gingham but have left it for now. What do you think?
xx
Haha why are you wearin it now? a particularly untidy desk?? :P
ReplyDeletehaha mayb mayb! you never know i might do! its the cutest material and i love the ribbon!
im so jealous u just found this stuff! theres nothing like that in my house :( - the downside of just having a dad - u never find random cute stuff!!
Oooo that would be cute to monogram it!...or you could test out your embroidery skills and do it straight onto the material? not sure if it would work with the pattern...but u never know!!
p.s. can u have ur blog so that anon people can comment?! feels weird using the baking blog!! haha
L xx
Lol no I had been cooking and forgot to take it off.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you find loads of awesome cake pans though!? That's not a bad discovery!
Ahhh I have no embroidery skillz. I think I'm gonna buy 'Sewing for Dummies' or something and try to learn some new techniques.
I will try and change the settings on the blog but I'm pretty inept at all that stuff!
xx
haha...what did u cook? anything exciting?
ReplyDeletehaha i do have LOTS of cake tins at home! i havent been able to actually count how many or see whats actually thrwee yet...but theres lots! but i dont think theres any like cupcake ones and def not hears (i assume thats what ur talking about??)
haha you should do! its a nice cheap hobby! all u need is the thread, material and a needle! Or a sowing machine if u want to get crazy!
Lol well till u manage it Ill just keep signing into the cake one, its not really that big a deal!
P.S. on the cake/cooking front - I got the new Jamie Oliver book through today, and I cant wait to try some of the crazy stuff in it! like cooking a whole chicken with a beer can up its butt!! intriguing!!!
Woops I totally didn't see that you'd replied! Stupid Blogger has no alerts..or at least I haven't activated them..woops!
ReplyDeleteI posted about what I had been cooking - I think it was the ribs or the curry...can't remember now hehe
