DIY SEWING MACHINE COVER + SEWING PATTERN
Hello my fellow sewing babes, I finally made my own sewing machine cover for my sewing machine! Although this fabric has some stretch in it I've been able to pull it off. It took me 5 years to make one... I don't know why I waited so long and even though both of my sewing machines survived all the dust for the last 5 years. A dust cover does not only protect your machine from dust but it also spices up your room and the fabric is perfect for this season....and

DIY LACE OFF SHOULDER TOP (PINTEREST INSPIRED)
Hey Pretties! Its been a long time that I posted something on this blog but I forgot to mention some stuff in the tutorial. In the video the edges were not finished, my laziness strikes again, but if you want to have nice finished edges use the french seam technique for the bodice piece. Here is a good explained video if you never heard of this technique (watch here). If you're not good with patterns that is totally fine. Use a 4-way stretch fitted basic top as template to cut out the bodice. This lace trim came out of nowhere I have no I idea where I got it from, its either from a local market or perhaps from Ebay. The tutorial for this top can be watched here! Let me know what you think of this top. If you know who this girl is from the photo let me know. One more thing if you know where I can purchase nipple covers for dark skin please let me know. Boohoo had some but it's unfortunately sold out in my skin colour.

DIY STRIPED SWEETHEART BUSTIER
necklace HappinessBoutiqe pants Primark bag Aliexpress
It's been a while since I made a bustier, the last one that I made was probably one years ago. It was a recreation of Taylor Swift's orange bustier, which she worn with a pink skirt at the grammy's if I remember correctly. Love this blue striped fabric with the leftover I decided to make a bustier out of it. I also made a wrap skirt (see here) with this striped cotton fabric as well as the same lining fabric, which is also cotton. The bustier with the wrap skirt would be a cute co-op set outfit. There is still some fabric left so maybe shorts will be an option.
The pattern is available for this bustier, you can find it right here and the tutorial here.

Hey! I just uploaded a new tutorial for this bell sleeve bardot off the shoulder playsuit. When I saw the beautiful floral silky fabric, it instantly gave me an summer vibe and I knew right that this fabric was perfect for a playsuit. If you haven't seen the video yet click here.
