About
I have always been interested in crafts and art and first started trying to make clothes for myself when I was 11. I really love making things as it allows me to have things which are utterly unique, and it's fun! I do a bit of everything, sewing, papercraft, origami, art, jewellery making...
Fashion, and making clothing, makes me feel like nothing else. I talk about it and it gives me a sense of exhilaration, and I love how much can be expressed through clothing. Sometimes I feel bad that I'm choosing to make clothes instead of helping people or doing something to change the world, as fashion is superficial and capitalist and money grabbing, but I have this irrational love for it and it makes me so happy. Besides, I'm not interested in the elitist side of fashion, I want people to express their personalities through their clothing, and my personality and my dreams, and just make beautiful things which people feel joyful to own-whatever their size or shape.
I'm a very girly girl, I love pink and I really love the shapes of clothing from the 1940s and 1950s- pencil skirts, little puffed sleeves, seamed stockings... I love reading and writing and I'm looking for independent magazines to write for. I'd also really like to sing in a band and I'm always trying to write songs. I love cocktails and dancing and having fun. I have a lovely boyfriend who I'm very happy with. I'm also really interested in the environment and how we can preserve it, I recycle and I try to buy organic stuff. I am also quite political, I'm very into human rights, anti-war, anti-sweatshops, pro-womens rights....
Well I think I've covered all avenues there! Add me as a friend if you like the sound of me. x x x

- commented on their comment I use Bostic All Purpose Glue for most things, which is strong, but I also use Araldite, which is really really strong. It depends what your budget is really-you can get the all purpose glue for about 99p, the Araldite is about £7! to Hot Red Lips Earrings 02 Mar 22:30

A cherry Print dress I'm very envious, do post pictures up when you're finished I'd love to see it.
I'll have to have a look on ebay for the net for fascinators, I can't believe how expensive it is though, I've been using tulle and wrapping it around to make it all poofy. Hopefully I'll get round to making a how to at some point lol.
