The World of Vintage Fabric and Creativity!

The World of Vintage fabric and Creativity! 

 Hello all! I am ever so apologetic towards the lack of articles i have posted recently! But we have been very busy, and illness' have affected us all! I myself am rather ill still, so i again i am so sorry sweeties!

So the chilly weather is coming, and we all want to feel cozy in our homes! We could also want something to do on a rainy day! Or a fun and cheap way to make gifts for Christmas time! I know you may be thinking, Christmas,already? But if you start now the more time you have! 
So what is this genius idea of mine, i here you asking? 
Well... it is simply fabric. Wonderful , Glorious Fabric. 
With the right instructions, it is so much easier than most people imagine to make the most wonderful, cushion covers, curtains, clothing, patchwork quilt! 
You may be thinking, is she mad? There is no way i could do that? Well as they say anything is possible, why not take up the challenge? 

For making clothing you can find clothing patterns online, or at your local sewing/craft shop! For an Online example click HERE!
If you want to know some more about patchwork quilts , read one of my earlier articles by clicking HERE!

Today lets start with cushion covers! 
Cushion Covers are an easy thing to make , and it is even easier to transform an old cushion cover. 

Transforming!
If you have an old cushion cover then the base of your cushion is already there! All you need is a fabulous piece of material, you simply tack it on to the front of the cushion,  then to sew it properly into place you could hand sew it , or you could machine sew it!
Now for the fun part.. what material?
My first place to look for fabric is always Cath Kidston, even if i am on a tighter budget, it never hurts to get inspiration and ideas!

This is a really sweet material! Simple and colourful!

Personally, i find it perfect for kids! I think it is a lovable material!

There are so many more from the Cath kidston collection, perfect for kids, full of colour, and fun!

For Example..

And the Cath Kidston collection keeps continuing to please with these fabulous patterns, perfect for any gift!

All those shown are £22 a metre or less.
For LOADS more of this gorgeous material visit there website, by clicking HERE!

However, Christmas is a festive,wonderful time of the year, and we all know that its the thought that counts, not the money! There is gorgeous material out there, no matter the price!
For example, here are some fabulous sites! 
Vintage style ,£10 or less a metre!
Retro Wallpaper, £10 or less , half a metre! (More than enough to transform a cushion!)

There are so many books to teach you about how to make so many different things!

5 minute Summer Hairstyles

Hair has never been so simple to style with these Simple Summer Hairstyle. Wonderful for the beach,festival or night out!
( Or just for lounging about

at home. We won't tell!)

All modelled by my wonderful friend @Rikykaiu33 from Youtube. So check out her channel!

1.Straight sleek ponytail

Start off by putting your hair into just a regular ponytail about 10 centimeters above the back of your head and tie it with a hairband. Then take your straighteners and straighten small sections of the ponytail until it is straight, pin back any bangs with a bobby pin that matches your hair colour and your done!

Top tips!

~Straighten in sections for a more straight look

~ Use hairspray on fly-aways!

2. Fishtail plait

Brush all of your hair so it is resting on your back and separate into two even sections, it is quite important they are equal.
 Get both sections in either hand and rest one section on the fingers of the opposing hand. Take a small clump of hair from the outer site of the section and cross it over the section you got it from and underneath the other, doing the same for the other side. 

Repeat this process until you have reached the bottom of your hair, if you have layered hair this may be a bit more difficult. 



The smaller the sections the better the effect, but this is up to you! Tie the end with a clear or colored hairband similar to your hair colour and you're finished.

Top Tips!
~ Style up your fish-tail plait by incorporating a ribbon or bow!~ So cute!
~ Experiment with lengths, and also which side you want the fishtail plait to be on!

3. Volumed Quiff

Brush the front section of your hair back (including bangs if you have them) and get some bobby pins. Pull it back so the hair is flat and push it up slightly before pinning it. 

That's all there is to it! Hairspray if needed.

Top Tip!

~  putting hairspray on your finger then smoothing your hair to tame all of those annoying flyaway hairs really helps!

~ For more volume, use a voluminous spray or back-comb.

~ Use a salt spray to create wavy curls, that go perfect with this look!

4. Top Knot 

Simple for any occasions, and always chic!

Tie your hair into a high pony tail and take a small or medium sized donut (depending on your hair length) and place it over the ponytail, so your hair is in the middle of the donut. Wrap your hair around the outside of the donut and bobby pin it into place.

Chic Bikini's

This type of bikini, I couldn't remember the name for, so I'm just going to invent one. Chic bikini's are the most wonderful for curvy people.
