One of the fantastic things about the SSC meet in London was spending the day with a group of people who like simular things and who are creative. We all shared ideas and gained inspiration from what we saw and each other.
In tribute to the day and my new friends I have created this 'dressed' mannequin.
In tribute to the day and my new friends I have created this 'dressed' mannequin.
She is covered with special ribbon and lace. some came from my recent trips to France, other bits from swaps on SSC, some was my Mums and Grandmothers. I have even used ribbon saved from special gifts - some fancy french macaroons when my Godson got married and from my CK duvet cover.
It was fun to do and I love the fact that each bit has a special memory - including some I bought on Saturday!
The ribbon is only pinned on so if I want to use some of it in the future I can replace it with something else.
The idea came from here
and some of the trimmings and bias binding came from here

I am still feeling all inspired and fired up to try all the things in my head..only managed one triangle of bunting so far though!!
Although I have rummaged through A's wardrobe for shirts I can turn into summer tops. I doubt he'll notice!!!! x
