About Me

My photo
My love affair with fabrics and fashion started during childhood, I was encouraged by a clever mum who was always on her machine experimenting. Designing and the creative process keeps me just about sane. At the moment jewellery is my passion as; after all it is the little things in life that are truly precious. For me it its the process of making - working 30 hours a week doesn't leave much time to indulge this hobby. In the past I tended to give a lot of it away or remake once I have achieved the photo I want to make into another item. I'm now starting to sell though which is great, would be lovely to do this full time though. I am currently uploading vintage items I no longer have use for so please feel free to check out my little etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollyDaise

Upcycled wedding dress.

So last year whilst heavily pregnant I embarked on a project to upcycle a vintage wedding dress for my friend Julia.  It was her mothers dress.  Over the next couple of days I will be posting the step by step process. 

Here is the original dress. Its a little big for the dummy.  The fabric is a gorgeous thick oyster satin with a lace overcoat with a hood which has a lily pattern.
