I have another sewing video to share. I was looking through my Youtube videos and realised I forgot to tell you about this one. Mixed in with the sewing, there is also some painting – which gives you the answer if you were wondering what I’d graduated from! Last year I completed a course called The Mastery Program by the Milan Art Institute – a full-time art course. So this also explains why Threads of a Fairytale has been running a little slower lately with fewer new clothes added into the shop. If you’d like to commission your very own dress though, have a look at these ideas.

How to be cool!
I decided to turn the words I wrote for the last sewing video into a blog post. It’s a little story about snobbery and being cool.
By the way, this was sent out to everyone on my newsletter. If you’d like to join to make sure you don’t miss out, please sign up here as I’d love to stay in touch. 🙂
Making a fairy dress for Glastonbury Festival
Every year I try to make myself a new dress to wear at Glastonbury Festival. It’s the perfect opportunity to dress up! If you’d like to watch the sewing process of making this year’s, please hop over to my YouTube channel to have a look.
10 Years on YouTube
Can you believe it?! I’ve now spent ten years recording my life and sharing everything with you. I hope I provide you with some light entertainment and a smattering of creative inspiration! Here is the video celebrating this milestone.
I’m still here!
This is just a little update to say I’m still here! I have been quiet in regards to social media and updates this year because we’ve had two close family bereavements. However, I just wanted to let you know the Threads of a Fairytale shop is still up and running and I’m continuing to send out unique fairy and festival clothing to all you beautiful people!
Glastonbury Festival is taking shape at the moment and I’m excited to make myself some new fairycore festival clothing!
Take care. x
Snowdrop Flower Fairy outfit
Last week I finished making a fairy dress and shawl inspired by the Snowdrop Flower Fairy by Cicely Mary Barker. This is a sneak peak at something exciting coming at the end of the year!
New Beginnings
September feels like a good time for new beginnings. Our eldest daughter has just flown the nest, which leaves a spare room in the house! This is going to be my new sewing room; leaving my previous one as a study and art studio. I’m currently in the midst of stripping old wallpaper, and then it will be filling the cracks, painting the walls, and carrying all my sewing stuff upstairs. There’s a lot to do, so I’m not starting any commissions right now. However, if you’re not in a hurry, please get in touch and we can start the ball rolling for your custom made dress. When the room is finished, I’ll be raring to go!
Glastonbury Festival
Well folks, the Glastonbury Festival line-up is now out! Are you going? Who are you looking forward to seeing?
Don’t forget to take a look in the Threads of a Fairytale shop for your sustainable festival fashion!
