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.comCategories

My five year old called this my bandit costume (see lego bandit) for the rest of us this is the #hallondress by @paradisepatterns for #sewtogetherforsummer2021 #s21entry it was made out of a previously #memade dress, part of a jacket and some cotton poplin. It’s only consistency is its stripe inconsistency and the absolute lack of pattern matching.Another #refashioned project for your weekend. This is @papercutpatterns #lunajacket which I have been embellishing and machine stitching for a couple of months now. It was refashioned from an old dressing gown. Swipe to see what the fabric and colour looked like. #linkinbio for more details on how I made this. #isew #isewmyownclothes #handmade #handmadewardrobe #upcycling #recycling #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagramIt looks like I haven’t forgotten how to write a blog post. I made these two @truebias colour blocked and totally refashioned from other garments #marlosweater #linkinbio if you’d like to read about them.Twinning in the sun! #cedarsweater for me #simplicity8526 for the little one, from the leftover fabric of my top and some creative cutting.
