I’m always making something new every month and I’d love for you all to see what I get up to! So here I have little summaries of each of my projects with pictures too!
Wakanda forever
This project was basically a repeat of last year’s. Except this year I actually started making the dresses early, up until a few days days ago when I decided to redesign the dresses and start over. So once again, I had four days to create two dresses.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
For once I made something that I’m at least 80% happy with. I thought this would be the most confusing thing I’d ever have to make because I just couldn’t imagine how all the little pieces would be drafted and put together, like the loops for the tie back and the slit down the centre back.

And when I wore it, I wasn’t entirely sure that it would be fit for purpose. Continue reading
Hello February!
I feel like every time I write on my blog I have to apologise for my lack of engagement here and on YouTube. Without sounding like I’m making excuses, I really have been ridiculously distracted. Continue reading
OMG I legit just made two dresses in two evenings and a day!
