Bachorlette pt 4
I’m pretty giddy with excitement for this update! I think itll be a short but sweet one – we’ll see – but we’ve come together so well in our project. I made us a little preview of what our vinyl album might look like, and I am really overjoyed with it. Everyone else seems really…

Bachorlette pt 3
Everyone seems to be struggling a little again, so it’s time for another call with Kevin! Again this call with very helpful, and re-energised us.

Making A Pancake Tutu
This just a quick upload, both to test the sildeshow function of this blog, but also to share the process I went though for making a pancake tutu! It took quite a long time to get through it, but it was an enjoyable process! This is purely functional – there is no fancy decorating here,…

Fabrics And Fibres
Today I’m gonna blog a little bit about fabrics and fibres! What’s your first thought when someone says to you:“I love that silk fabric!” You are probably going to assume something light and airy. Maybe a chiffon if you’re feeling fancy. But did you know? You can get heavy weighted silk fabrics! This is because…
