Outfit of the day, handmade clothing all the way!

As I study fashion (even though now its fashion comms but it was design) I thought i'd put my trade to good use. I've been looking into buying some flares in velvet but people were selling for £30 and at the moment I just couldn't afford it. A jobless fashion shopping addicted student is not the best thing to be when you have more time on your hands than a watch. An impulse buy at my local haberdashery shop (BOYES) of 3M of dark purple crushed velvet fabric sparked up my brain as to creating my OWN flares!

After tracing my other flares to make a quick pattern I was on my way! How astounded was I when they came out as good as they did is unreal. (in my opinion nothing I do comes out as good as I thought) 

With the amount of time I have on my hands at the moment as well I decided to make two matching tops..TWO! 

I made both a point up halter-neck tie back and a elasticated boob-tube (both beginner garments I know but simple but effective is the way forward) 

I am thinking of making these sets for sale and selling them on my DEPOP account (USERNAME: annahodgson) I am just trying to perfect the pattern. 

I am very happy with my garment creations today I will be making more soon and putting them on my blog too! 

Thanks for reading dolls!

Lets get personal! dedicated to My Favourite Daydream

So for a while i've been looking for something that can be personal but not the most expensive thing on earth. I wanted to get something also that would be good for a cute gift for friends and family with that handmade touch. Seeing an account on depop ages ago reminded me of someone but I didn't take note of their username and was searching for ages! But finally the other day I found this depop account again and I was SO happy!

My favourite daydream on depop creates hand made personalised cuff bangle bracelets and necklaces from thin metal and then stamps anything you want onto it and for the cheap price of £3.50 each they are AMAZING! After only ordering it yesterday my personalised bracelets (I ordered 3!) came today!

They came wrapped up all pretty and fragile it was a shape to take off the tissue :D

Also wrapped with a little note in the front of the envelope!

 PERSONALISED TOO! :D 

And here are my 3 bracelets all cute and packaged so well! and for £3.50 each and only 99p postage is amazing, such a lovely girl too! 

The 3 bracelets I ordered were one for me, my boyfriend and then separate one for my best friend!

Yesterday was mine and my boyfriends year anniversary and even though I got him the most amazing top from Urban Outfitters I had to get just one more little thing to make it super cute (hopeless romantic I know)  I got the day we got together in roman numerals printed on to a bracelet for us each, 28th April 2014! I do hope he likes it, he doesn't know I have bought it yet, I may tell him after I've posted this!

And for my best friend he's a language student and is doing his year abroad, 3 months in GERMANY, 6 months in CHINA!! and 3 in SPAIN and I am going to miss him the most in my life, he's been my best friend since I was in year 2 so I got EST. 2002 (the year we met) and on the inside both of our initials which I think is uber cute and hope he likes it!

They are so cute and if someone bought me these I would be over the moon because they're just so lovely with a personal touch! 

My Favourite Daydream has an ETSY page to order from which I've linked and also a depop, username: myfavouritedaydream

I recommend anyone to buy from her I don't have a bad thing to say about her or her service and it's being a pleasure doing business with her! 

Thanks for reading my post!
