An inspirational day

Gee bloggers it's been a few weeks since my last update but that's due to my new job keeping me busy throughout the week! Luckily I have my weekends off and today I was hit by a rare moment of inspiration that I'd like to share with you all.

My mum is having a birthday party in October and has had a few ideas about a dress she wants me to make her so our morning consisted of searching Pinterest for inspiration and from there I got an urge to use up some old fabric from this years collection to make myself my own little dress!

I just wanted something simple because whilst inspiration had me all excited to sew again I couldn't face having to stress over complicated patterns or else risk giving up in favour of trashy Sunday TV.

So here are the end results, theres no zip in the back but its a backless dress and ties around the neck, given that it only took me 6 hours to make I'd say I'm really happy with it! It looks a lot prettier than I thought it was going to turn out halfway through and I'll admit some of my fabric was was in little scraps which complicated things.


 
I really wish I had ironed this before taking pictures but you can see what I was aiming for.

I have like...5 posts waiting in the wings to share with everyone  and I'm spending every spare second  I have on devising the direction I want this blog to go in so sit patiently! Im excited to change things up and share it with you all.
