Hi Cuties
I'm so excited to do our first craft update! Amy's set up her past craft history well in her lolita sewing post but I like to craft too! Between us we like to sew, knit and DIY. I'm going to split up the post by showing my updates and then my twins Amy's.

After showing my pin and patch collection I decided to take one of my jackets and lay out some of my patches. I want to have this jacket to have a sweet kawai feel and I already realise that I need more patches, but this is a good start for sure!
I've also been working on items for our shop Magical Harts. I'm planning on making this flower bow a necklace. I've just got to finish adding the flowers, then dotting on some pink crystals to make it really pop. I think I might also try different colorways! Also I made another bear bracelet which is super pink and romantic. When I'm crafting I normally get a lid of a box and put everything on and get started! Keeps everything in front of me and I can craft where I want to!

In my passion I steamed ahead with my knitting without taking any photos at all. When I last showed my jumper it was at the mock belt area and now I'm finishing off the last strap. I was a bit nervous with continuing my jumper as finishing it would mean assembling it which I haven't done before. However once again YouTube has been my savior and the next techniques I need to do are a lot easier that I thought. Learning all these new things has inspired me to tackle new patterns in the future.
Which leads to my new yarn purchases, Drops Alpaca boucle in off white and Brushed Alpaca Silk in powder pink. I was looking for a mohair yarn for my next pattern and found the Drops yarn. I never knitted with alpaca fibre and the yarn really interested me as a mock mohair. I plan to take this knitting with me on holiday so I chose a simple project of a ballerina wrap, which I think will go well with lolita and my more casual clothes. Hopefully by the next update I'll have finished the jumper and started on a large head bow to go with it hime style. I absolutely love the yarn I've bought because it looks so dreamy, and it's just so soft!
And now back to crafting, blog soon! xoxo

The flower bow is a fantastic idea, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, it's kind of a thing I pick up and put down, but I've nearly finished it now, just few rhinestones left.
