I heart. . .

Yumetenbo.

This is an adorable Hime-gyaru clothing line from Japan and the clothes are so pretty and cute!

I've spotted a couple of dresses that i want to make for the new uni year.



Love the shape of this dress. It's very Chocolate Love looking and i've always loved those dresses.



I love the back of ths dress however if i do make it i would probably not use frills but something smoother. :)


I have made myself one of those bustle skirts but not had a chance to put a waistband on it yet or take photos but i did take it out for a test run the other day and it looks pretty cute! :D

Lace/Ruffle Shorts

I have recently become very attracted to the idea of Lace or Ruffle Shorts.

They'd look totally adorable layered under skirts or even by themselves with a long top and over-the-knee socks to which I'm quite partial to wearing. :)











I think i'll have have to make myself a pair or 3 in a few different colours. :D

Japanese Room Shoes

So while i was sewing the banner for this blog today i was also researching Japanese room shoes.
I love these little shoes and i've always wanted a pair as i hate wearing slippers. (I trip up alot and slippers make that worse)

I was scouring the internet for a free pattern because i'm a student and therefore very poor and alas i couldn't find one.
However i did find one for sale which listed the materials needed.

I have decided to take a blind swing in the dark and create my own pair and pattern for these quaint little shoes.

I will try and make a coherent tutorial for them if they work out too. :)

A Sprinkle of Stitches

Hello!

Welcome to my new blog!

I have needed a blog recently to write down my sewing and cooking projects and experiments as I really miss blogging and don't have a current active one that i'm really passionate about. :) And i've seen lots of sewing blogs around the blogosphere recently and decided I missed blogging too much to not create one too!

I love to bake and sew so it's a perfect opportunity to mix them both together. :)

Let me tell you a bit about myself!

~I'm 21 and studying costume at university in the UK.

~I have been sewing for as long as i can remember, making clothes for my barbies and dolls and was using my mum's sewing machine at around 6 (what were you thinking mum?)

~I love everything cute!

~I'm heavily influenced in my day-to-day life by japanese..... everything. I love it all; the culture, food, fashion, music - everything. It's my obsession, everyone has one. :D

Please stick around and enjoy my little pice of interwebz. :D
