The Art Market went really well on Sunday - I sold a few things, and came home with a lovely print of a girl with pink hair!
The skirt above is another cherry print circle skirt for Tiger Lilly in the Harris Arcade, to replace one that was sold a few weeks ago. I’m going to [...]

Here you go - these are the eight finished pieces that I’ve made for the Tiger Lilly boutique. I just need to sew in the labels, and then I can take them into town.
Just in case you’re wondering how you might order a circle skirt or a tunic dress for yourself, you can do that [...]
Here’s today’s offering - another full circle skirt for Tiger Lilly, this time in a bold cherry print. This one’s a size XL, which covers UK dress sizes 24-28.

This is another skirt for Tiger Lilly in the Harris Arcade, and I think it’s my favourite so far! It’s probably just as well that it’s not my size, otherwise I’d be far too tempted to keep it.
I have one more skirt and another tunic to make, and then I’m going to deliver everything to [...]

The reason I’ve been a bit quiet lately is because I’ve got a new job! As well as volunteering at the Museum of English Rural Life, I’m also working there as a Learning Assistant. This is a temporary position which lasts for the duration of the school holidays, so you’ll have to excuse me if [...]
I’ve had this fabric for about eighteen months, but I’ve been “saving” it for just the right outfit. First it was going to be Vogue 8470, and then McCalls 5431. Then I decided that neither of those options would be comfortable, and I couldn’t decide what to do instead.
