Belladone.

May 23, 2013 – 8:11 pm

I would like to hijack these honeymoon posts to blog about my new Belladone dress. Well, sort of… I have been meaning to take pictures of it for a good few weeks (I say “I”, I actually mean my rather lovely husband), but we hadn’t found anywhere nice to take them.

It’s a running joke amongst our friends that we always go on holiday to places that are cold. We chose Italy for our honeymoon because of the guaranteed excellent food, wine and sun. In the words of the god that is Meatloaf, two out of three ain’t bad. Although this time, I really would like [...]

No, not that one. I actually think I prefer mine. It certainly comes in a damn sight cheaper… A while back, Katie tweeted about the potential of using this duvet cover as a source of cheap fabric. I have a small obsession with space themed things (our bedroom is somewhat “spacey”) and so I wasted [...]

Deer & Doe.

March 25, 2013 – 9:35 pm

I’m a sucker for independent pattern companies. Particularly ones with clear and easy to use patterns for beautiful clothes I actually want to wear (in no small part because I’d desperately love to do it myself). Victory patterns, Colette, By Hand London, Papercut patterns, Sewaholic, Grainline and not forgetting Tilly’s Mathilde Blouse are all on [...]
