Material . . .

Ok I think I might be slightly obsessed with this . . . my third post of the day!

Anyway, I've been to the material shop and chosen my material, thank god my mum came with me to help me decide! Otherwise I would have been in there for hours!!
I've chosen a floral material for the main body of the corset which I feel has quite vintage look to it and the pale pink is going to be used for the lining and also for the ruffles along the top. The bright pink ribbon is going to be used with some eyelets to lace up the back of the corset.




My purchases from Fabric Land . . .

I'm hoping that once my corset is finished it will look good enough for me to wear as a summer top with some jeans and a cardi but we'll see . . .

Corset Designs

These two drawings are from my designs for my corset. My pattern came through in the post today and I've decided that I'm going to do the first design with the ruffles. I'm really looking forward to starting this project and am off to get some fabric this afternoon! :D

Update

Hello, I know I never ever update my blog and to be honest with you I completely forgot that I even had one!
I always go on my bestfriends blog and love to see what she gets up to and it inspired me to start doing mine again. I was never really a successful 'fashion blogger' so, I've decided to change it to just an ordinary blog so that I can put anything and everything on here.

So, heres what's going on in my life at the moment . . . I am in my first year of sixth form and am really enjoying it so far. I'm doing four subjects but my favourite is deffinately textiles!
At the minute I'm having to make a corset! Yes a corset! I don't know how on earth I am going to be able to make it, but I'm going to try my best! I thought I'd post the different stages of my corset on here so that you can see my progress.
I'm also hoping to sell some of my junk on ebay so that it can go towards me getting a new camera so hopefully when I get a new one I can upload some new photos! :)
