A few years ago, I made this hat which is still one of my favourite makes. The pattern is self drafted and very simple, basically it's just two circles and a long rectangle.

I used three layers: smooth viscose/cotton lace on top of a cotton fabric which I stabilized with iron-on fusible interfacing. The hat is also lined with a light cotton fabric, so it’s hand washable.

All the materials (except interfacing) are recycled from thrifted clothes, like a skirt lining that I had removed and a lace top that was too short.

To style the hat in different ways, I just tie silk chiffon scarves around it and clip or pin fabric flowers, barrettes or brooches to it.

A few months ago, I made this bag as a X-mas present for a family member.

The lush green cotton velvet is reclaimed from a dumpster dived throw pillow case. For the lining, I used black cotton I had lying around.

I added a thrifted necklace from wooden beads and a cute little heart charm.

Meet Amir, Amir is a vampire, he's very old, roughly 500 years, he can't remember exactly when he was born. He takes special herbal teas so he can be out in the daylight. His favourite colour is purple and he has his own style, he doesn't care that people find him odd or excentric.
He's handsewn from thrifted materials and old clothes.
