#mmmay week 2 round up!

So here's my thoughts on what I've been wearing this week!

Day 8 

Kimono jacket, cannot get over how much I wear this, It works as a casual jacket and a dressed up one! Need to make another!!!!

Day 9

Cami top in Singapore cotton and slouch cardigan! Another winner love this outfit so much!!!

Day 10

scissor print skirt, when I first made this I sorted felt meh about it, which is a shame because I really love this print! But I worse this whilst spending the day with my bestie and my god daughter and I fell back in love with it!

Day 11

Gingham check dress with lace waistband! LOVE THIS DRESS! thats all I really have to say abot this!

Day 12

Ditsy Print shirt, Okay so I love this , BUT I wore it with skinny jeans and my blue trench coat on the way to nursery and caught sight of myself in a shop window and I just looked like such a mum. Like one of those posh mums who only buys organic food, has a cleaner , drives a four by four and is "an absolute monster" if she doesn't get her morning cappuccino!. All in all Its just not my style, so in an effort to wear it more often Im going to try and make a nice youthful skirt to go with it, in like a blue or a pink!

Day 13

Brown suede wrap skirt, Love this! felt like a looked pretty awesome, first wear since I made it!

Day 14

Singapore Print Cotton dress, love this also its first wear, its been waiting for summer so its nice to wear it!

So I'm two weeks in and going strong! this is usually where it all falls apart!

Much Love

Guitar Playing Bear

So today is a fun make, there is nothing serious about this at all!

Its a bear playing guitar, I'll just give you a minute to bask in the glory of that.

The pattern came from issue 25 of love sewing magazine, The pattern is actually for a panda but I didnt have any white or black felt so I just turned mine into a teddy bear and so it didn't become bland I made it a jazzy coloured guitar.

I omitted the flower headband because mine is a lil boy bear , and instead just gave him a axle rose style bandanna. I did give him the beads though, which was nice because I have a huge tub of beads that I hardly ever use! 

I especially like the strings detail, Although I miss-counted and only did five strings not six! So its not an entirely accurate guitar.

I think its really cute and it was a perfect sew for looking after a poorly boy on the sofa, not majorly poorly just tired and grumpy, we watched films and I sewed up this little fella. Who I'm naming.........

KEITH! After my brother in law, who plays guitar and has a certain teddybearness about him.

He has a tail which I completely forgot to photograph. and I added a tummy patch which the pattern doesn't call for. Stitching wise I did the whole thing by hand using a small running stitch. I also didn't use much stuffing although it takes more felt than you'd think!

All in all , its cute so WINNER! 

Much Love
