Winter Here We Come!

Winter high wedged shoe, I love! I bought a pair last winter from Target for only $12.98 from $39.95, It was put down and I had to buy a pair, although mine are beige and can be worn with anything nice,warm and woolly. They fit any occasion and are in style, tuck your skinny jeans with them, wear stockings and a skirt or tights and leg warmers, a whole range of outfits to be worn with these fabulous looking shoes. If you have a pair and picture of you wearing link to this post for me to see! Enjoy.

Fancy Twirly Buns

I found this really interesting tutorial of how to make three bun twirls and it looks really easy and pretty to do. I give full credit to who I got it from and I think this hairstyle can be done for a formal event or just for fun. I has straight forward pictorial of what to do. If you do decide to try it, please post a photo and get link it to this post for me to see. Have fun!

Basting stitch

Basting is a temporary stitching (a.k.a tacking), which holds two or more layers of fabric in place until it has been stitched together properly. Basting can be done two ways by hand or by using a sewing machine, if doing it by hand, simply use a straight running stitch and the basting is to be done by machine, use a long-length straight stitch.

Circle Skirt with Bow

I found some instructions to make a circle skirt with a bow and decided to adjust the instructions to suit me. ( http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/easy-skirt-with-a-fluffy-back ) I had decided to make a skirt for my younger sister, who is 5 and is quiet little. I forgot to write down the measurements for next time because I made up the instructions along the way, it took me a few hours as I am still a beginner, however I am getting better. This skirt is suitable for anyone of any age! Here is a picture of the finished piece:
