Bat - man- shirt?

I wanted a new shirt but i wanted it big and comfy as if i had thrown on one of my boyfriends shirts for the day. I would have to say that i am quite inspired by Audrey Hepburn wearing the mens shirt in Breakfast at Tiffanys. I designed it so it looks like a mens shirt but is slimmer and has 3/4 cuffed sleeves so its a bit more feminine and cut the sleeves so theyre bat like.


Excuse the wrinkles. The photos were taken in the afternoon after a good day of wearing. Photos were also taken by my talented friend Julia.

Last Minute Dress

I was privillaged to attend a friends wedding this weekend. Being my usual self I left making my dress untill the last minute. I started making the pattern for it in the spare time i had between work, making final fitting adjustments to the brides dress and bed time three days before the big day. Luckily i managed to scrape through and finnish it in time to wear it. Phewf! I cant remember what fabric it is made from exactly but it is nice and heavy so it flows nicely and is a little bit sheer.

de Vol Clothing

Today i did a bit of a shop and bought a new jacket. I love, love, love it!!!! Im really into the whole cape look at the moment and when i found it in Frutti i guess you could say it was love at first sight. What topped the experience was meeting the talented lady who made it. She gave me her card and i really need to share it so you can look at all the amazing things that her and her partner create.

Character Cushions

Inspired by the camera bag i made a few weeks ago I decided to make some pillows to add some character to our plain couches. A gaming controller for my partner and a camera for myself.
They are made from an old woollen blanket and felt. Really simple to make. Keep tuned to learn how in the next few weeks.
