More Myosotis and some very Pink News!

 Happy Sunday all!

 I'll start with some news for you - I have been selected to be a Beyond The Pink Door Ambassador! That means I can share lots of cool kits, fabrics, discounts etc for you before they hit the shelves and help Andrea promote her business. 

It's one of my absolute favourite places to shop online and Andrea, the owner, is just the kindest and funniest person so this is a lovely honour. 

To be clear I am not being paid for any opinions or fabric uses, I genuinely love it and hopefully you know me - I just wouldn't do it if I didn't like it.  

That brings me to a nice little segue into sharing some fabric that I bought from BTPD a while ago - this fun print called 'Millenial Summer'. 

The pattern is an oldie but a goodie. The Myosotis Dress - in hacked format - a shirt.

I made this hack so long ago now and it turned out to be one of my most worn items ever. I love the fit, the fabric, the floatyness. The lot.

As that was the case I figured I needed a couple more in my life.  

I had a little bit of this ladder lace trim and wanted to use it up - so sliced into the bodice piece and inserted the lace. 

The result. Another great shirt and another cowboy style! 

 I have recently been doing a bit of art and prints (:gasp: yes a different hobby) and painted a lovely little pigeon that had nested in my garden tree.

I couldn't resist putting her on a bit of fabric.

 

I only printed a small amount of this as I had no idea if it would work so my Mysostis shirt hack was great for fitting onto 1.5m. I did a short sleeve version (mostly because I forgot the others were 3/4 length) and actually it's another nice look. 

On a recent shopping trip I noticed the Myosotis neckline shape is on a LOT of garments this year. Not that I care too much about the trends- mine has bloody pigeons on it for christ sake - hardly fashionista but interesting none the less! 

I found this shirt type works best in a light cotton rather than viscose and therefore I chose a Cotton Voile for this one.   

This all brings me neatly back to Beyond The Pink Door again - as this evening there shall be some very exciting news! 

All will be revealed shortly (this evening at 7pm to be exact) but I'll leave you with a clue....
