OpShop Delight returns...

I have not been able to buy much of anything recently due to my return to poor student status. That does not stop me from having the odd visit and rummage in Opshops and the other day I found a lovely corselet style top for $4, so I sacrificed my flat white coffee for the day. It was too cute to pass by.

The top underneath I made a few months ago, I still have some adjustments to do as the neck turn out a tad wonky and being a slight perfectionist, out came the unpick! Hopefully it gets finished really soon as the fabric and style is really great. The pattern I used was from Built by Wendy. I really like these patterns as the fit is always spot on for me, plus they are unfussy and modern.

She has published two great books too, I really liked SEW U when I started to sew as it gave me basic patterns and advice on how to change them.

Until next time xx

Hi, my first interview in blog land, read it here

For a while now I have been designing a warm cozy and stylish hoodie in my mind. I got bored of fleeces last winter and plan to head into the colder months in style and in the pink!


I spotted a pink leather jacket by Diesel in a magazine and loved the cut... then I thought of Chinese quilted jackets... add to the mix bed jackets and some very yummy, 18th century inspired pink material from my stash and hey presto my next project looms.

I would like to quilt the bodice of the jacket and replicate the wide quilted hem too... I don't now when I will find the time for this but I will have to squeeze it in somewhere, the wind is getting cooler already.
