Trip to the V&A

Today I went to the V&A on a trip with uni, we went to see the Yohji Yamamoto exhibition, unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures or do drawings, but we came across the theatre and costume department and I got some great pics of some OTT garments and the replica of Kylie's dressing room so I thought I'd share :)

Photoframe Customisation

 Occasionally I check out this website Cut and Keep, because it's full of crafty and fashion projects and I came across this photoframe that someone had customised with black buttons, I really love buttons so this seemed like the perfect project for me.

Personal Garment for Uni

At uni we've been assigned to make personal garments, and I chose to make a pencil skirt it's one of my all time favourite garments. I chose to make mine with a floral fabric on the front and a plain pink fabric for the back, with a lime green facing, I matched the overlocking to the bright pink on the back of the skirt. Detail was really important to me for this garment and so we're the bright colours, it's definitely representative of what I would wear on a daily basis.






Customisation Crazy

So lately I've been customising like mad, check out the images below to see how I turned a £2.00 tee from Primark into something fabulous just using some metallic thread, fabric scraps and some buttons from Birmingham rag market.
