My wise words of the day :P

Stampset

Pie birdies

Skirt made of ties :)

So the first thing I did was searching and searching for the cheapest ties I could possibly find. Due to the fact that my hips are so called 'extremely curvy' I needed almost 14 ties in total.

After I maneged to get as many ties as I could, I meassured how I wanted the skirt to be and simply cut the ties in pieces.

Once cut I had to sew them all together (as you can see on the picture above)
If you consider doing this yourself you should really check the colours and lines. I almost made the mistake to sew two stripe-patttern ties next to eachother.

After stitching the ties together and pinning them around the skirt to see if it fits you can start sewing the ties onto your skirt.

As a finishing touch I put a little ribbon on the sewing line so you wouldn't see it anymore.
The result :) :

For your phone

A little while ago I made this phone cover with an owl on it.

The material I chose to work with is felt. It's a very soft material and it can be used to clean your screen with. It will also protect the phone when you accidentaly hit something cause it's quite thick.

I made the base of the cover with a sewing machine and the owl by hand.

At first I picked out the material and colour I wanted to work with and I meassured the size of my phone.  After that I just started sewing =)

Dress

Olly

Last week I came across such a lovely website: www.abeautifulmess.com
It got me totally inspired, resulting in me running around with different patches and sewing like there was no tomorrow. The result? 3 super cute little owls (:
