Return of the silly French outfit!

Sorry for neglecting this blog lately! I've been busy with various bits and pieces, but now I'm going to get back on track- I'm happy to say I've started Lillian's Bombshell dress. I'm using this Craftsy course by Gertie of the New Blog For Better Sewing, and I can really reccommend it so far! If I had been working on this pattern on my own, I would have probably been very frustrated by now, but the classes are very straightforward and really good at anticipating fitting issues with this pattern (hint: the cups are tiny and there's a very good section on how to do an adjustment to get the right cup size) It feels really good to be sewing again, I can't wait to see how this will turn out!

Anyway enough ramble, this is meant to be an OOTD post!

 This is the exact same outfit as last time, so the only reasons I'm even posting these is 1. Everything is better with Perry, and 2. I think I had nicer hair in these!

I still have a lot of old photos I want to post about, so they should be coming up soon xx

Axolotl Fabric

Fiddled with my layout a bit- I think it's a big improvement! I used one of my fabric designs as a background, this Axolotl Print.

Above is the fabric all ready printed out. I can't wait to use it, I have big plans for a dress for Lillian! I think the colours will be great for summer :) 

Welcome!

How do you do? My name is Claire, and I decided it was time to start a blog to document all my creative efforts and hopefully spur me on to doing more. I'm terrible at taking pictures of stuff I've made, so I'm going to try to use posting here as a way to get over my procrastination!

I love fashion, art, crafts, reading, looking after my pets, makeup and hanging out with my friends. I'm going to post my outfits, my drawings and things I've made here, but other things could creep in as well. Mostly I want my blog to be a place where I get to showcase all the things in my life that make me happy! I'm not sure if it will gain any followers at all, but if it doesn't, it'll be a nice thing to write in anyway.

My lovely girlfriend Lillian runs a fabulous beauty blog called Lillian Funny Face, if you haven't found me through her, I definitely recommend checking it out.

Think that's all I have to say for now! Thanks for reading.
