SewGorgeous

I’m a medical Student at Glasgow university who loves all things crafty. I had a gap year last year and worked in the local hospital, did 2 extra A levels and crafted as much as i could inbetween! I love all things vintage, dolls, and bringing old clothes back to life - not redesign - just mending! My mums been a sewer all her life, so the house is just full of bits and bobs longing to be prettied up, put together, packed up and swapped!

I LIKE:

~ all things vintage

~ all things handmade and crafted

~ cupcakes, mushrooms, strawberries, russian dolls, owls

~ whimsey jars and matchboxes

~ dragons and fairies

~ anything military

~ recycling!

~ rubber ducks :)

I DISLIKE:

~ anything religious

~ anything TOO floral

~ glitter/shine

~ butterflies

~ PAPERS AND STICKERS

Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Rebecca, The Woman in White...

Garth Nix's Books, Neil Galman, Eoin Colfer, Phillip Pullman, The Bronte's, Tolkein, Rowling...

and the list goes on! My bookshelves are stuffed full of old childrens books or dictionaries - anything old, loved or with a pretty cover! I love the well read loved feeling of an old book. I therefore also love bookmarks :)

Looking for: Little Women, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Dracula, Dorian Grey, any of the twilight saga...

DVDs I am looking for: Twilight, X-Men 3, Wolverine

I am a sewer not a crafter - so i do not like stick on things. Lace is fantastic though! Old photos are okay i suppose, as are vintage postcards. Check out my blog to what kind of things i cook up. I love handmade things and new ideas.

~ Vintage sewing bits and bobs - maybe needle cases...

~ Lace - small thin pieces :)

~ Vintage accessories - maybe scraps of clothes (cuff/collar/pocket) and actually new is good too!

~ Medical books (also books mentioned above)

~ VINTAGE PATTERNS (or new for that matter) clothes patterns or patterns for toys - looking especially fo patterns for toys, dolls, hats, bags, purses, legwarmers...

~ patterned or embossed felt

~ hair clips

~ thin silver rings

~ RING BACKS to make into rings - with buttons or otherwise

~ fabric hairbands to alter

~ STUD EARRINGS these can be single - i have 6 ear piercings and never wear matching studs :)

~ dottee doll kit - i do not actually make dottee's... but i make these which are very similar you think??

~ rubber ducks

~ old cigar boxes

~ silk scraps and mohair 50g balls for my ma :)
