I know I said designs....

But I wanted you to see this.

Look, another photo of me :D This one actually has my face in it (albeit from the side)(and fuzzy) but anywho... 
This is what I wore today, and as you can see I have a rather funny looking yellow and red blob on my knee. This is what I spent my weekend making.
My ill fitting skinny jeans had a rather sad looking hole on their knee, which was growing increasingly large. My dad pointed it out to me (as if I didn't already know ¬¬ ) so I decided to finally set about making a proper patch. 

 Thus, I made my knee patch. LADYBIRD

I scrounged through my massive bags of random hand-me-down fabrics and found this yellow stuff which i think is from a school project? The red body is made from a primary school jumper (from back when I was in reception and my sister broke her arm) and the black is from another fabric sack.

Time taken - 3 hours? 
Final Product - no more draughts down my legs :D And a rather awesome looking knee

Don't you love my artistic situation - an exercise ball :D

t-shirt: my sisters from 2000. When I was 5... shows how much I've grown seeing as it's still to big for me...
shirt: next (I love sales ^^)
jeans: old clothes drawer (I label my drawers. I have a pyjamas drawer, a socks drawer, a long sleeved top and shorts drawer.... lots more....) 

Designs are coming. Tomorrow. I just have to edit them all

RIP McQueen

Alexander McQueen - 1969 - 2010

In my short years I have been inspired by much and many, but few have affected me as deeply as Alexander McQueen. Three years ago, when I first became interested in fashion, one of the reasons was because I stumbled across a website filled with some of the most interesting, awe inspiring clothes - Alexander McQueen
Though I may not be a relative, a friend or have even met him, he was one of the many influential people in my life, and now he is gone. Thank you for starting me out on my journey through fashion, I wish I could have never seen your end. 

Rest In Peace

Sorry to start my blog on such a sad note, but I couldn't just ignore this.
I feel like however much I write, I can never do justice to so great a man with such a great dream 

forget me not

New to all this but I'm keen to get going.
I've been interested in fashion for a while now, probably about 3 years, but I've never really done much with my love.
Sooo.... I have a new "resolution" to design lots more, which means 5/6 designs a week, 52 weeks a year, with each week having a different theme ^^
Poke me lots if i don't blog one week.
And I love it when people give advice/tell me about magazines and websites and stuff, you won't hurt my feelings (well, maybe a little.... as long as you don't say "OMG RUBBISH" or something )
I might be a little slow starting out, don't let me make excuses!

And feel free to be creeped out by my extra long looking neck. I'm not confident enough for my face yet :) Marvel at my cross stitch awesomeness
