Nautical Top

I love charity shops, they sell anything for next to nothing and most of their things are still in great condition. I managed to find a plain but interesting Laura Ashley top, for just £2.00. Bargain!

Why I chose it is because it of the cute buttons on the side which I thought looked interesting. Anyway I took it home and started cracking on with it.

Firstly, I cut out a anchor shape with a heart on the top of it out of cardboard, then I drew around it onto felt which I was going to put onto my top.

After this, I stuck it onto my top using a very strong fabric glue, and then started sticking my sequins onto the anchor, which was a bit painstaking as it took a while, but worth it!

After that, I stuck some little gems onto the top and created a shape of an anchor, simple but effective! I didn't want to put too much on my top so I thought it would be good to add the finishing touch which was a little bow out of polka dot ribbon and put it onto the neck part of my top.

Anyway, here are some photos of the progress of my top and finished!

Ladybird bags!

I thought of a doing a theme for my bags, so I decided....Ladybirds! :) They're cute and every girl loves them!

Firstly, I brought some plain bags, dyed them all red and made little bows out of polka dot ribbon which I then sewed onto the bag.
Also, I sewed the buttons onto the bows and onto the edge of the bag.
I cut out hearts out of polka dot felt, glued them on and put the ladybirds on and for a finishing touch, put on some little ladybird pegs and Voila!

Hope you like them! Katie at Cherry Cheesecake

Earrings!

Heyyyy there!

I've recently started making my dangly earrings, which has gone pretty well!

I brought a bag of random charms and decided to attach them & some star sequins onto a chain, and add on the earring hook and jump hoops, etc.

So, I hope you like them! I've made about 30+ so far so it's going pretty well! :)

Ta-ra! Katie at CherryCheesecake
