Weekend Wrap Up!

 This weekend time was spent:

-Drinking tea (from my super sweet teapot!)

-Crafting this mini quilt thingo. I'm not sure if I want to hang this on the wall or use it as a small lap quilt. Either way now I am keen to work on and hopefully finish my first quilt.

-Making, cutting and adjusting a dress pattern over and over again. Right after I took this photo I realised the fabric pattern was upside down, doh!

-Tidying and rearranging spaces within my studio. 

It was a nice, busy and creative weekend overall. I feel like I might (fingers crossed) have got my sewing groove back and I'm excited to start working on some current and new projects!

Dress Restyle

I bought this snazzy dress at my favourite op shop for $5. It was a perfect fit, but the length made me look like a hobbit (no offence to habits anywhere, I'm just quite short). I knew it would only take a few adjustments to make it look good and so I trimmed it to the right length and used the leftover material to make a skinny belt to match! Easy peasy! Now it is the perfect length for twirling and I love wearing it.

Weekend Wrap Up

Not many pictures were taken this weekend. The combination of a headcold, a 21st and many, many shopping trips meant that I was exhausted and spent a lot of my spare time napping (which is why this post is so late!) I'm feeling a lot better now, but I have a persistent cough that is quite annoying. I am hoping to tackle some more projects leading into the weekend if my energy levels remain good!

Graduation!

So I graduated last Friday the 13th (what a day!) and it was fun, weird and sad all rolled into one. It felt good to graduate, but I don't really feel old enough or that enough time has passed since I finished high school. I guess that is just growing up though!

It was great to have my parents and sister come down for the day, even if it was a quick visit and I'm glad they could be there. It was a fun day!

Easy DIY

 

I had been looking for an interesting way to display my instax mini photos in my bedroom, but in a way that I could change and rotate whenever I felt like it. This old photo frame cost me $2 from an op shop and I just used the existing string to peg my photographs onto. I am planning on adding more string to display more photos when I take them. But for now I am happy with this super easy and quick DIY!

Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend I:

❤ Was still super excited about graduating from uni (still waiting on pictures to share) and I was bought these extremely pretty flowers to celebrate! 

❤ Made a super easy DIY project..I will share details soon. 

❤ Created a donation for a local fundraising effort.

❤ Went fabric shopping for the first time in forever. Thankfully the shop is more organised now and I had a hard time choosing between the fabrics I wanted. This is a good predicament to be in!

❤ I also made my first 'grown up' purchase of a brand new mattress. All the signs are pointing to me being grown up now, but I definitely don't feel old enough to be doing this stuff!

Recent Op Shop Finds

Some things I have found at op shops lately include this fantastic blanket to add to my collection and these two lovely vintage suitcases. One of them even has the old address for the previous owner, love!

Recent Bags!

I finally got around to photographing and listing some of the bags I have made recently. It felt good to check that off my to-do-list because it has been hanging over me for a good few weeks now. I have some more fantastic fabrics waiting to be used so I expect to have some more bags finished soon!

Also, my shipping prices had to be adjusted due to the recent change in Australia Post shipping costs. I hope I have covered them well enough, but any overcharges in shipping costs will be refunded through paypal!
