The UK government are peddlers of death and destruction and if you push back against that fact, you are deemed the terrorist. I guess this is what happens when power and profit becomes more important than peace.

Had some fun with a plain ribbed cotton sun dress today. First I distress dyed it with Dylon and elastic bands. Then I sewed, randomly placed, black elastic onto the dress to create a funky texture. This is the result 🧷🧷🧷

When you find a random detachable kids hood in the three items for a £ pile at the car boot sale and think it's got potential.

Made a Demobaza inspired hanky hem skirt from two deconstructed dresses. The tube top was constructed from the lining material of one of the dresses. The neck ruffle was made salvaged scrap vintage chiffon.

Bought a damaged dress for 20p at the car boot sale and transformed it into a top and arm warmer combo. The texture is giving gnarly old tree bark 🌳💚

Upcycled two thrifted dresses into some unique pieces. Two garments were transformed into a skirt and top combo, a micro mini skirt and quirky neck ornament that twins with the long skirt. The bandeau top was made from old T-shirts.

Transformed an oversized tunic into this skirt and top combo. Used the skirt part of a thrifted stretch dress to make the waistband and trim for the top. The top ties are old T-shirt strips and the plastic fittings were salvaged from a broken bag.

Bought a wool cardigan from the boot sale a while back. It was slightly shrunk but I really liked the colour so I snapped it up anyway. Here are the first two items I've made from it, a corset style top and a necklace.

Back to deconstructing and reconstructing again. I made this bustier top and mini skirt combo from a pair of running leggings that I have "outgrown" 😛. I dove into my scraps bag for trims and embellishments. Even the thread was second hand from the car boot sale.

I'm taking a wee break from my socials at the moment. Partly because I have to write my end of year essay but also because I go bananas every time I am exposed to the relentless fresh hell the Internet is serving up these days. So much madness, sadness and badness 🤯.
