Seeing everything in progress

Hello! I hope you’ve had a lovely week! Just popping by to let you know I’ve started using the Stories feature on my Instagram account more lately. I’m using the Highlights function to save them all to a group called ‘In Progress’. I’ve been showing little clips of me sewing, pinning, and patch-working together the fairytale clothing I’ve been making in the last couple of months. So if you’d like to see a little of what is going on behind the scenes, please take a look at Threads of a Fairytale on Instagram. I’ve made a pretty purple and green dress with colours taken from a lovely crepe fabric with a tropical leaf pattern. Then a fancy frock coat to go with it. And then as I had plenty of the tropical fabric left over, I started another dress to match the first, but much fancier to be more of an alternative wedding dress or fairy ball gown, with added tutu net and lace. It’s almost finished and I can’t wait to show you!

 

World Book Day costume

Hi! World Book Day is coming up on the 2nd March, so I thought I’d give a 20% discount on my book dress as it would be the perfect costume / outfit to wear on the day! I’ve also added a couple of new photos to the listing so you can see a close-up now of some of the details of the dress – the paper roses, the patterns of the paper punch I used, and even one of the butterflies I cut out of paper and added to the skirt part of the dress.

World Book Day dress

I loved making this dress and it would be brilliant to see it go to a new home. Sadly it didn’t fit a lady who came here to try it on, but she had the idea to wear it to cosplay as The Library from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. What a cool idea!

If you enjoy reading, I think it would be a unique alternative wedding dress; or perhaps a fairytale ball gown at a literary event. Anyway, now’s the time to get it while it’s on sale with £50 0ff! Find it at Oshun Occasions.
