Weddings






Weddings are a great excuse to get all dressed up. It was extra fun this time round as my sister Leonora http://www.myvintagestyle.blogspot.com/ ) who has started to sew said she would make that dress that I had in mind. We went scouring pattern books to find a pattern, I chose my fabric, a beautiful navy satin and a few weeks later, voila. Terribly exciting having a sis who can now make me clothes. Yeeha.

She had fabric left over so suggested she make a little clutch to match the dress, and who am I to refuse. Mum had the great idea of adding a 50 year old brooch of her which just finished it off. I loved the idea of having a basic bag and changing the look of it with different brooches.

Here's a pic.

Yes it's great having a sister that can sew, but it's even better having a sister who can make exquisite jewellery.

Hey maybe we should go into business together!
