How to make your own labels

Finally, here it is: how to make your own labels tutorial.

It's a very easy thing to do, but it requires some time. Of course there is an easier and cleaner way to do your labels using Spoonflower (I found a tutorials on this some time ago. I will link it later) but I'm always afraid that I will pay much more on the shipping fare than the product it self.

So here it goes, my way on making labels.

Materials needed: the stamp of your brand, fabric paint and an ink pad. I've had my stamp done professionally and because it has different from normal dimensions I couldn't find an empty ink pad to fit it, so I asked my father-in-law to make me a custom ink pad. As for the fabric paint I used the left over of the black paint I used for making the moustaches on my moustache dress.

Black Burda jacket

Hy guys...I now I've been writing so few posts in the past 2 months but I've been preparing a lot of stuff for you guys: some tutorials, trying to redesign my blog (and learning some html in the same time), crocheting some things for my shop and a lot of researching on Pinterest :D (I'm addicted to Pinterest what can I say).

In the meantime, while the tutorials are ready for blogging I let you with some cute buttons I received from a friend of mine from Greece and a jacket I made last year and I didn't blog about it...

aren't they cute? 

I'm still debating on whatever to use them on a blouse or on a skirt...

any ideas?

Dotty Easter eggs tutorial

Hello guys!!!!

Sorry that it took me sooooo long to post after Easter but hubby and I had a rough couple of weeks. We've been trying to do something for ourselves for a long time now....and we'll talk about that after the 15th of June because we don't want to spoil it. So stay tuned for the big reveal :*)

And for today I have for you a little tutorial on how to make this cute dotty Easter eggs.

The Laurel with moustaches

Finally my last entry to the Laurel contest. It's for the self designed category, it took about 2 days to paint, wash and dry and about a day to sew and I am realy proud of it.

So enough talk, let's bring the pictures.

Colatte Laurel dress (sarafan)

Well, it time to reveal the dress with the detail on the neckline that I showed you in last week's sneak preview.

It's an entry in the Laurel contest for the fall category because it's a thicker fabric and it's suited for fall and for spring to be worn over a shirt or something with longer sleeves.

I made little modifications on the pattern for this dress and it was ready in 2 days. Really easy to sew pattern once you don't do so many alterations.
