🪡🌼 #handmadecrafts floral vest

used cloth from a decluttering sale, flour sacks for the lining, recycled buttons from old shirts, and pattern from sew.mii. shorts are thrifted and repaired.

🪡 leather and lace

stevie nicks song title-inspired dress made from a thrifted faux leather shirt and lace from a decluttering sale. the skirt's lining is plain katsa (used flour sacks). originally a wrap blouse, I couldn't find bottoms to match so I turned it into a dress. ended up really liking the length. this is zippered at the back.

Finished my mum‘s birthday present today. She loves all the sea and the marine Design a lot, so I have sewn her a little shopping bag. Hope she’ll like it. 🥰
