Blue boho maxi skirt – new in the shop!
Hi! Just letting you know I’ve added a new skirt to the ‘Indian Summer’ collection on the Threads of a Fairytale shop. It’s a beautiful navy blue bohemian maxi skirt that could be worn for evening or everyday wear. Made with all the co-ordinating blues from my scrap box; this is true sustainable clothing! Take a look at the boho maxi skirt here.
A flurry of news posts are about to commence! New fairytale clothing in the shop!
I’m back from the New Forest Fairy Festival and now that it isn’t my focus, I’m ready to update the shop! I think I’ve got about 30 items to add, so if I put a new one in the shop every day, then that’s a month’s worth of news posts to tell you about each one!
We are starting with a cute pink fairy top, perfect for a festival or cottagecore outfit.

The New Forest Fairy Festival
If you haven’t seen my blog post about it, I thought I’d pop into the News section and let you know that it’s the New Forest Fairy Festival this weekend, the 14th and 15th of August. It’s a wonderful day out, and I’ll be having my Threads of a Fairytale stall there again this year, so hopefully I’ll see you there! Come and say hello!
New Forest Fairy Festival 2021
It is my main event of the year this weekend (14th-15th of August): I’m going to have my stall at the New Forest Fairy Festival!
Purple bohemian fairy dress
Hi! Just letting you know I’m starting to list all the clothing I’ve made over the last year! Three photo-shoots are now in the bag, so I’m ready to go ahead and list everything in the Threads of a Fairytale shop! I’m starting with this purple boho dress that we photographed in Cornwall a couple of weeks ago. It’s approximately 3XL and would fit a few plus sizes from 20 – 24.
You could style it as a fairy dress with a pair of wings and a sprinkle of glitter; or dress it down with trainers and wear to an evening at a friend’s house!
Fairytale photo shoot!
Yesterday my daughter, Rain and I drove to a beautiful stately home and garden to take photos of some of my latest handmade fairytale clothing. Here’s a little sneak peak!
We were a little rushed as they locked the car park gate at 5pm, but we wanted to have the softer light of late afternoon. So we had eleven outfits altogether to fit into a very short amount of time! I’ve had a quick look and I’m really happy with the results.
And over the next few weeks I’ll be adding the items to the Threads of a Fairytale shop so look out for all the new whimsical and romantic clothing coming your way!
Merry Midsummer Solstice!
At this time of year you’re much more likely to spot a fairy, so here are three tips to help you see one:
1. Take a stroll in nature – especially by trees or wild flowers if you can.
2. Pay attention to what you don’t normally notice.
3. Dress yourself like a fairy so they’ll think you’re one of them and openly show themselves!
Ps. If you need any help with number 3, just take a look for fairy clothing in the Threads of a Fairytale shop!
How I make the fairytale clothing
I began my YouTube channel about five years ago with the purpose of sharing everything behind-the-scenes of running my small handmade clothing business, Threads of a Fairytale. Over the years I have shared everything from how I make the clothing, to how I organise my sewing studio, to our trips out for the photoshoots for the shop and Instagram. And along with that I’ve shared my personal life too….
