A little bathrobe type thing that I made as a practical project for my dressmaking TAFE course. It was actually really easy - just a few simple measurements, and sewing together rectangles. If anyone is interested in a tutorial for this, I could probably knock one up.
Hahaha, ignore the fact that I ran out of black zippers, and had to use a white one. These pants were another TAFE practical project. Ignore the incredible high-waist, combined with baggy fit - I used a pattern from the late 80's/early 90's, when that was all the rage. This was the first time I ever made pants, how exciting. Making pants is really difficult at first. When you've never done it before, it can be really confusing figuring out which pieces go where, and how they all attach to each other. But once you figure it out, it's actually quite simple!
A skirt I made up from scratch, using the leftover material from making the pants, and the remnant green tulle I bought the other day. This one looks heaps better in real life - edgy, but elegant.
Oh, how I love these things. It turned out that I didn't have enough faux fur to execute my hooded-scarf-with-cat-ears plan (I'm going to splurge on some rainbow faux fur, and do it with that), so I made a regular scarf and a pair of mittens instead. I can't wait until it gets a little colder so I can wear them in public!
Fellow DIYer's, what have you been making lately? I hope you've all been on creative rolls like mine! I've gotten a bit behind on checking my favourite blogs this week, so I can't wait to pick up some inspiration from you guys.
Until next time, xo.
P.S: As you probably noticed, I am now a black-head again. It's funny how this colour feels natural for me. Enter bonus picture of hair, plus my facial expression as my head explodes from all the creative DIY ideas slamming into each other in there.
