My submission has gone live now so you can have a look at the designs, remember to vote as many times as you can from the 1st - 7th December and spread the word :) x
It's been a while since i've posted on the blog but i am back into my creative routine now and sewing full time. This morning i entered the Design a Dress competition for Vogue and Matches where we had to make a dress from paper and the designs that gets the most votes, will have their design made up and sold at Matchesfashion.com - BRILLIANT!!
So, from 1st - 7th of December, i need as many votes as possible. please please pretty please :)
Anyway, the competition hasn't gone live yet but here are a few pics of the dress and i will add the link so you can vote closer to the date :)
Here are another two T-Shirts..very different from any other colours and textures i normally use but still fun. T-Shirt itself is made from good quality black jersey fabric and made from a size 8-10 tee pattern. They are both hand dyed (bleached) and one has got a dyed pattern all over, the other has only got the pattern on the shoulders plus a hand dyed black silk flower.
I love draped skirts (and dresses) and been wanting to make a skirt for ages but i think the overwhelming thought of it has held me back. I have gathered some images for inspiration and i have a 50s floral fabric i'd like to use so as soon as i can have some alone-time, i will start draping and pinning on Mathilda (my mannequin).. We'll see how it goes :)
