Sew

 I realised I haven't been blogging for a while which isn't good...sorry. I didn't seem to have much motivation so I decided to order some patterns from the net. They came super quick and now I am actually looking forward to making a few new items for the wardrobe. I have loads of fabric in my fabric basket so I need to have a good old rummage around. I have some fabric left over from my wedding dress I have decided I would love to make a pretty top to wear.....the wedding dress doesn't fit anymore (too big  :) ) so it will be nice to have something I can wear. My dress wasn't the traditional white/ivory but instead a lovely copper brown...one day I may be brave enough to share a photo with you...in the meantime I will take a photo of the fabric instead. Here goes, happy sewing.

A friend at work asked if I could possible help by sewing a tissue box cover for her downstairs toilet. They have redecorated the room with a nautical theme and luckily enough I had some fabric left over from my recent makes. Its basically a rectangle with both sides lined wit fabric and then fold over the fabric, sew on end closed and then at a popper at the other. I have then added two stitches at the centre to hold the two ends together and it also allows the tissues to come out from the centre. A cute item which I has now inspired me to make my own. It makes otherwise dull tissue boxes quite pretty.

We've recently changed our decor in the lounge/ dining room and I have been searching for place mats for a while but to no avail. I had left over fabric from my patchwork throw I made and decided to make my own place mats. I have used both the nautical fabric and also a red and cream stripe. In between the two layers I have used a woven table runner that I have cut into four to add protection against hot plates. They look great against the polka dot table cover and are washable too! All in all a productive Sunday afternoon.

These dainty rose earrings are new to my shop on Folksy. The roses are so sweet and come in so many colours. I love the pastel shades in this collection. A perfect finishing touch to any outfit.

I simply adore these cute cabbage rose rings that I now have in stock in my lovely shop on Folksy. I'm super excited as I have just received an enquiry in the possibility of purchasing some of my items wholesale. It's still very early days but I'm excited at the prospect of launching the MillieMooshu collection into shops and retailers, fingers crossed. xx
