About Delightfully Peculiar
Delightfully Peculiar, because this is what the fabric of life is. I endeavour to blog about all the things that weave the fabric of my life and my little delightfully peculiar world! Mostly my hand makings, fabrications, travels, books and the hilarious disasters that find me from time to time. You can always contact me on delightfullypeculiar@gmail.comÂCategories

#strangerthings @secret_cinema. Simply incredible, best secret cinema!!! @juniperificThat time I tried to paint the shed in my #jpreadytosew jumpsuit. All the details and close ups of a great fabric pattern combo @minervadotcom blog. https://www.minervacrafts.com/blog/projects/washed-canvas-boilersuit 📸 @juniperific #minerva #imakemyownclothes #sewistsofinstagram #isew #isewmyownclothes #readytosew #handmade #sewingHeavily inspired by @marieclaireidees I made a box scene advent calendar for my little monster and filled it with small presents, ranging from chocolate to a pair of socks. Most of the things I used we already had and by no means was I trying to make art, just a fun and hopefully unique present for him. Swipe to see more details and photos without the presents. #marieclaireidees #christmascrafts #makersgonnamake #adventcalendarGrey day? Wear fuchsia! @ready_to_sew #jpreadytosew boiler suit in washed canvas for @minervadotcom on their blog next month if I remember correctly! I can’t recommend this pattern enough. It’s the only one I’ve made from ready to sew but now I want to have them all. #readytosew #minerva #makersgonnamake #isew #sewistsofinstagram #handmade #imakemyownclothesThe head is back and my 2 x #cielotop by @closetcase.patterns are worn and on the blog along with the #brunablouse by @la_maison_victor. Don’t take the poses seriously but they are perfect for #touchingmyhair all the deets #linkinbio #imakemyownclothes #closetcasepatterns #handmade #isew #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #refashionAnd here is my second #cielotop with short sleeves for #alteritaugust the fabric is from a white curtain to which I added random splashes of colour! #handmade #imakemyownclothes #closetcasepatterns #isew #sewistsofinstagram #sewcialists #handpaintedfabric-
