Hope you've all had a great week!
For the last two weeks straight after the market we've gone straight to The Rusty Zip my favourite vintage shop in Belfast. The first week I bought a fab maxi dress £18 purely for the fabric, the dress was too big for me and the puffy sleeves were just too big! But I could see the potential for a very cute dress. I forgot to take a pic of the dress in it's original state....I chopped of the bottom and then headed round to sister Christine with my old dress for a lesson in dress making. I borrowed her machine, learned some handy tips, she showed me how to sew on bias binding and how to pin correctly. I skipped home with my new dress and after a freshen up in the machine, it's as good as new! And there is enough fabric left to make two cushions and lots of scraps for birdies.
Have a super dooper weekend everyone!
Love it Bob! What a tranformation! You looked lovely in it last night! x
