Hi there!
For those of you who don’t know, this is my second blog. My first, which you can find at elinorcliffordtailor.blogspot.com, relates to my historical costuming hobby.
A few friends have asked me about posting some of my retro and vintage exploits on my blog. I don’t have a lot of time at the moment to devote to historical recreation, but I’ve found time to pick up the odd vintage piece. Since vintage is much more a part of my daily style and something I really enjoy incorporating into fashion and furnishings I thought it might be more fun to create a new place to record my crafty funtimes.
For the remainder of the year, while I finish up my Honours, I won’t expect to be updating terribly often. After I finish and move to Tasmania in November I’m looking forward to having free time to devote to making clothes, furnishings and crafts. I will be making-over the tiny one-bedroom cottage that is home to my partner Ian and myself, and a part-time home to his daughter Johanna, into a cozy and comfortable place. Hopefully you can expect vintage crafts (I’ll need throws, cushion covers and I’m desperate to have a knitted tea cozy) as well as details of my home-made, retro-inspired wardrobe.
Ideas and requests are more than welcome. I hope this turns out as well as I hope it will!
