I GAVE IN!

IN THE POST...
I hope it fits! Its from
www.beyondretro.com, absolutely great website, I've see so many things that I would like to buy. I will be visiting it again very soon!!

FUTURE PURCHASE OF THIS MONTH

So, once student loans come in and I get paid, I will once again be able to feed my addiction of all things vintage. I have very much missed the charity shops and boot sales. HOWEVER I have had a few projects that have been waiting on alterations. (which are now done and I will post soon). ANYWAY this is a serious gem and a must for my wardrobe. I also would LOVE a glittery one. Its only 15 squidders as well.OK, I know what your thinking. Yes, it is underwear. BUT I feel this could be pretty big, along with petty coats.
I have just taken up one of my mums old petticoats and it looks fab! I even know the perfect combo of outfit for this baby.
QUILT UPDATE
I have come quite far with the quilt. I've had so much fun doing it! It's also a great social thing as me and a friend have been doing it together. We have also been swapping fabric which has saved both of us alot of time and money, plus we have collected a huge variety of fabrics between us. I have loved going to my local fabric shop and rummaging through the bargain bins, as after all it is A QUILT ON A BUDGET! The quilt will probably need to be 4x the size, to make it fit a double bed and hang over the sides.

Scrap the mini and the maxi, its all about the 'midi'.

THE MIDI SKIRT

This wonderful purchase of mine was from a little charity shop in my home town. It was priced at only 2.99! Bargain. I have to admit, that yes, I have jumped on the band wagon of the midi skirt phase. But to be honest, I can seriously picture myself wearing this tons in the next few weeks. AFTER, I have altered it because its a size 18! I have started though, so I will post piccys soon. Absolutely loving the print though. I have been looking for a while for one that I actually like and thats cheap. This one fits the bill perfectly.

Heres some others that I found which I also really liked.


The Quilt Club.


QUILT UPDATE!
The squares are coming in slowly! But I am getting there. This means that I can start putting it together very soon. A lovely friend of mine (who is also making a quilt) has given me some off cuts. We are planning on swapping our fabrics so we get lots of diverese patterns and to save money! Which has majorly helped the collection process! Im so looking forward to putting it together. I feel like I need a few more and then I can start. I shall keep you updated.
