Afternoon Jelly Babies

So I am currently in the process of setting up my own website/business! 

I graduate in November so I will have a foundation degree in Fashion Design which is super exciting and I've been let into the big wide world! How scary!!!!

Anyway... I have a Facebook page, you can find me here.

I have instagram for my brand too - you can find this here.

And I even have Twitter, I don't use this as much as I maybe should but I'm working on it, find me here.

I am using GoDaddy to create my site - so far it has been really great to use, very straight forward and technophobe friendly! - I'm really liking it. It has been a little slow so far with progress as I have recently got a new job and I've been working a lot but I'm getting there. By new year I'm hoping to have it complete.

I will post updates and pics for you guys - not too much obviously I don't want to ruin the grand unveiling haha!

Here's some pics so far...

HOME PAGE

My sister being a good sport and modelling for me - she's now my in-house model! So you will be seeing that little face a heck of a lot!

Home page again - promoting the KAkids costume line.

You've all seen the mouse - keep your eyes peeled for more cute critters! I have named the collection after Bella - Bella's Dress Up Box and it will feature lots of little outfits, mainly animals but I'm going to throw in a pumpkin, a ghost, maybe a bumble bee and some other idea's.

I made her a princess dress of Christmas last year from a basic children block so may even make them in lots of colours! I have lists and lists of ideas for my site and no time to make them all!

Category list. 

I have LOADS of subcategories too for all the different sections and garment types, but I've changed the setting so they don't show on the drop down menu - otherwise you're scrolling for about 20 minutes to find KAkids.

What do you think so far? Let me know your thoughts! :)

I don't want to show you too many of the categories actual sections because then you will see the actual garments and products and that ruins the surprise! 

I will be making a blog post on a few bits I make but they won't necessarily be on my site - just yet anyway! The items on my site are my design and I make 99% of my patterns myself, toile them and amend anything, and I make all the final products myself also! A one man, mini sweat shop! With occasional help from my Mum, well because she's amazing!! :D

P.S It's 64 days till the big C!!!

Hey my little jelly babies! 

So I've been sewing - Hoorah! 

My boyfriends gorgeous little niece Bella is having a Gruffalo day at big school on Thursday and so I  have been in charge of making her a costume - she's going as the little mouse! 

Me and my lovely sister-in-law Natalie went fabric shopping and found THE softest, grey faux fur/wool mix type fabric from Abakhan the other day and I was so excited to get started! 

The ears are genuinely bigger than her head! Ha
It also does have a little tail which you can see in my next post!  

I sadly didn't make this into a tutorial - I got very carried away but I can let you know the important bits. I used the Butterick 3772 pattern ( get it here) in aged 3 - she is 4 but she's very petite and this fit perfectly. 

I only used about half a metre of the fabric - properly even less.

For the ears I used felt and the belly and ear insides are pale pink jersey. Oh and you'll need some elastic for the hem too! Honestly I don't think I even used 30cm.

The shoulders also have shiny, silver press studs - I think they're actually 'anorak' fasteners but I thought it was a cute touch to the suggested buttons! What do you think?

I will post more pics on Thursday - or I will try to.

I'm going to take it to her tomorrow so I will have lots of cute mouse piccies and more close ups too! 

Let me know what you think - Or if you've been making anything similar! 

XOXO

I'm Back...

Hey Guys! 

So I'm back! I know I haven't blogged in forever but I'm setting up my own business/fashion label and I thought blogging would be a great way to get it out there! 

I also realised how much I like taking pictures and at the moment I have no where to put them apart from Instagram! 

I'm going to try and post lots of things - not just selfies.
Like things I've made and sewn or drawn or decorated. - DIY's
Things I've eaten or drank!
Things I've done - days out, trips, holidays.
And of course things I've bought and just for good measure I'll throw in selfies and pictures of my adorable boyfriend! :D

AND because I'm a Christmas fanatic I won't let you forget how long it is till the big S comes to visit!

P.S it's 90 days!!!




XOXO
