I started this blog to document the progress with the historically correct bustle dress I was making back in 2013. Time flies. Sadly my circumstances changed and I wasn't able to complete the project nor was I able to continue blogging. When I thought those circumstances had changed I tried to come back to no avail :(
But you know what? Third time lucky :)
I don't plan on this blog being every week, or maybe even every few weeks. But I do plan on using it to help document my projects and other things that make me happy. Hopefully it will even help me actually finish a few projects, you crafty people out there know what I'm talking about!
I very happily discovered a new shop two days ago. What kind of shop you may ask? Fabric of course!! Vintage Japanese kimono silks to be exact. Most of them were marked as $10-25 per meter so I just couldn't help myself. I walked out of the shop having spent $65 with 3.5 meters of fabric. That beautiful orange one you see at the front just has the most wonderful print on it, but unfortunately was $50 per meter. I still had to have it though, so I only bought half a meter. In my next post I'll show you each fabric print and what I plan on doing with them.
90% of my belongings are in storage for an unknown amount of time, but when I was last at the storage place I was able to grab a few boxes of fabric. This box had my Spoonflower stash! I bought this amazing octopus fabric with the intentions of making a lolita skirt like the fabric designer has done. I bought 2 yards from memory, which has two and a half repeats of the print, so I'm not sure I'll get my skirt quite as nice as hers which seems to have three.
And last but not least, I thought while I was doing all this sewing, I would need something nice to take a break with. So I decided to splurge on a gorgeous T2 set which has a cute little teapot that sits upon a cup. I seem to have a thing for these mint greens and blues lately. Even the rest of my fabrics from that box were cool toned.
What have you splurged on lately? Some pretty clothes or makeup? Or maybe some craft supplies or games? I love hearing what makes you happy :)
