60 minuiet makeover.

 

Iv had my eyes on this little number in a charity shop and really didnt expect to go back today and find it there. However I was so happy when I saw it hanging on the clothes rail, waiting for me.

 This size 18, £3.99 denim calf length dress had a 60 minuet make over and done me proud, Now a size 12 and a little more on trend.  Dont get me wrong I actually love this length of dress only this length does not give my short body any justice. 

..£3.99 well spent.

I have so much Jewellery that never gets a chance to have a outing. I seem to buy it, It gets hung up in my bedroom and I tend to forget about it. Its a shame as I do have a fair bit. This month iv decided that I am going to wear a differnt Necklace/ring/earing each day.  (top photograph I am wearing a small two tone cross necklace that I picked up in Primark I got three necklases for £2.00, The smaller triangle necklace in the bottom photograph is also from this pack. The larger Triangle necklace I made out of old Jeweller. )

Frilly creepers.

I have a lot of time for my creepers at the moment. They seem to go with the majority of my wardrobe. I think the Little frilly socks that are poping up everywhere are the icing on the cake. Going to be so cute in the summer!!! 

Flower Queen.

Today I been busy making more flower crowns. These ones i am going to be selling for £7.
I am going to be making a lot more, Different colours and flowers. They are going to be lovely for summer!

Glue gun fun!

My fingers are sour from glue gunning lots of pretty flowers onto head bands to make more flower crowns. . They look beautiful!

Tartan Cape

My boss was after a fleecy tartan cape, managed to help her out a little and make her one, I would love to commission some more as I'd like to see what other materials are like.

Sewing machine godess.

Iv had my eye on quite a few different skater skirts, Christmas is coming and i cant afford them all.. so I made some. Quite a few friends have mentioned they want me to make them, so I am going to look into buying some bulk material. Watch this space.

Flower Crown

Over the summer I got a little excited and made quite a few flower crowns as I see them on the internet. .

I've decided to go a little christmasy and make myself a lovely red/burgundy rose flower crown, I think they look very cute on and are the icing on the cake for a party outfit.

Christmas is coming and i can only hope that Santa brings me these. Please, if anyone wants to just purchase me them as a lovely gift I am a size 3, £75 and they can be found here.. here

I am watching 48 things on eBay. Obsessed.

So Iv been a bit naughty and been watching lots of goodies on eBay the past week or so, One of them being this lovely tartan coat. Iv noticed tartan creeping back in fashion, I don't personally think i can pull off a lot of red tartan but definitely can pull off the blue/green. I have been watching this little number for about 4 days, waiting for the right moment.. And Shazammm. . £3.25 later, its all mine. Lovely.

A Good Rummage

Friday I found myself having a good rummage in the charity shops, yet again. I picked up 2 lovely little bags!

Little Bow Peep.

So today I made more bow necklaces!!! - I literally love them. So happy with them.

Tartan, Leather & Studs seem to be about a lot lately.. so I got hold of some lovely fabrics and got making some more. 

 I am going to be selling them on my ebay page. Or if anyone is interested please contact me!!! altervintage@hotmail.com -  if you have a request colour I may be able to make them for you. They are £5.99 do you think this is reasonable?? .. I am also going to try different sizes.. and putting them on grips and broaches.. I think the tartan one is my fave by far.

DIY Contrast Sleeve Army Jacket

So Iv had my eyes on one of them Military Jackets with the leather sleeves lately. As usual I waste my money on crap and haven't managed to purchase one. They are quite expensive considering I got my army jacket at the carboot for 50p and that's all it is really with leather arms, Anyway. . I realized that I have a military gullet and a little leather jacket I picked up the the charity shop for a couple of quid. I got out my beast of a sewing machine and stiched the leather arms to the gullet.. and wolla... Saved myself £65.
