Yes it's Kalle again - I couldn't help myself. This is only really getting airtime because of the fabric and the theme. ðŸ¤
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'.
Wishing everyone well and thank you for stopping by - feel free to comment and come and say hello on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Bloglovin too xxx
How fab! Love the dress, the buttons and the boots! You definitely deserved first prize x I’m going on a trial line dancing afternoon next Saturday, of course now I want cowboy boots too!
