Gold Boots and Cowgirl Kalle

Yes it's Kalle again - I couldn't help myself. This is only really getting airtime because of the fabric and the theme. 🤠

Steady on people don't fall off your chair - that is indeed a picture not taken in my back garden next to the same tree you've seen for years. :: gasp::

I've always wanted to try line dancing and when a local venue hosted a Hoedown with a corn maze, well to the hoedown we did go.  

This fabric is called Filly - by Fabric Godmother and I didn't realize how similar it was to my Charlie Caftan! Clearly I have a type.  

Obviously I felt the need to make my entire outfit, so panic ordered some fabric with about 1 day to spare. Shout out to FG who dispatched this in a flash! 

I had originally picked up some cowboy print viscose from a destash but decided I would probably get more wear out of a something that was leaning more to summer dress and away from overtly costume. This one has horses on so that counts right? In a nod to the theme I did also use these amazing horse buttons and a gingham label.

 Again as time was of the essence, the ol' faithful Kalle was the front runner for a pattern as I can just whip that up without much issue (normally) and in this case it did actually fit the western vibe. 

 Guess who won best dressed and a £20 voucher!!! Yeehaw!

It almost certainly had something to do with my boots which I also had a hand in making. Obviously not from scratch but LOOK AT THESE! I found a cheap pair of brown boots on Vinted and after several hours of paint, foils and varnish - the best boots ever!

I shall write more about my shiny shoe adventures as I have become addicted and already had 3 more pairs and a workshop on the cards. 

Until the next time folks - keep on truckin'.
