    Some very cute outfits and cool spooky fabrics! I love the unicorn skirt (which I think you've shown us before, so wonderful!) and those shoes rock!

    A fabulous round-up, I love your collection of quirky prints. The unicorn skirt inspired by the tapestries is incredible - have you read Tracey Chevalier's The Lady and the Unicorn?
    The black and white dress is gorgeous and I love your mum's tie-dye hippy dress, too.
    Lucky is adorable and wears his handmade bib very well! xxx

    Hope you're feeling better. Those prints are fabulous Laura! I would be hard pressed to pick a favourite...bats, unicorns and cats...what's not to like?! x

    Your dog looks very stylish for Chinese New Year. I love that bat print Dangerfield dress. The fairy wings earings are different. I have not seen them before. Like that floaty tie dye dress as well.

    I'm sorry to hear you were unwell, Laura, and hope that you are feeling better now.
    Love the round-up of outfits, and although I am having a hard time choosing a favourite, I particularly love the quirky novelty print ones. xxx

    Oh, I am behind, my apologies! I love seeing all your outfits - you have a great eye for fun patterns! Your dog is so cute (I snickered at "dog - secondhand"). Hope you're feeling better, my dear!

Quilt Cover to Cottagecore Dress!

Image
This one has been a long time coming! I took a lot of breaks due to some issues and learned a lot along the way! It all began when I found a secondhand quilt cover with two really pretty patterns: I used my go-to pattern for the skirt. I went with the longer length skirt (view A and B) with the ruffle from the edge of the quilt cover on the bottom. The ruffle. I initially cut out a different bodice but I didn't like the fit. I d ecided to combine the two different fabrics into a Gunne Sax inspired dress with the bodice cut from remainders of both fabrics and a different bodice pattern.  The bodice pattern I chose. The new bodice pieces. After that I abandoned the project for quite some time. The centre bodice and side front pieces refused to line up right. I checked and made sure I had cut them out right and I had. I received advice that I needed to notch them and they finally lined up!  For the sleeves I had a limited amount of fabric so I had to go with quite small cap sleeves. G

Queensland Holiday Part 1: Ripley's Believe It or Not

Image
DAY 1: Sunday We arrived at Gold Coast Airport from Sydney early in the morning and got a bus to Surfer's Paradise. Once there we got an early check in at our hotel in the Q1 building at about 12.15, and went out to look around. We checked out the shops and beach. We had an ocean view from our room and could see and hear the waves. DAY 2: Monday Day two's weather was punctuated by rain showers but we were doing mostly indoor activities, so it wasn't a big problem. We started out at Ripley's which was just off the main street in Surfer's Paradise. Ripley's Believe it or Not Robert Ripley  ( February 22, 1890 – May 27, 1949)  began his career as a sportsman and cartoonist. He was fascinated by unusual events and objects, leading to his "Believe it or Not!" comic strips which became very popular. He enjoyed travelling the world to find oddities and opened his first museum in Chicago in 1933, then known as the Odditorium. In 1936 he was voted the most popu

Melbourne Day 5 and 6

Image
 DAY 5  THURSDAY: Melbourne CBD A little sparrow at the markets, I think he was waiting for his coffee order. Vegan cupcakes at the market On Thursday morning we caught the tram to the Queen Victoria Markets. I got another iced decaf coffee. Jon got a breakfast burger. The market was only partway full (there were so many empty spaces) and most of it was the same cheap clothes, tourist merchandise and expensive leather goods. We got a couple of cute presents and a Wednesday tee for $20. We did get a Melbourne magnet for our fridge because I realised a while back having cheesy merchandise from holidays is fun.  After looking around the markets, we headed back to the deli hall for lunch (the food court was closed for renovations). I grabbed a vegan pie and a Biscoff cupcake from a Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse. The pie was really amazing!  Jon got prosciutto and salmon wrapped cream cheese . There weren't really many places to sit as there was no food court and most of the seats wer
