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

“He was a big fish, even then” I’ve been wanting to make this forever. Experimented with slightly random placement of scrap fabric and quilting. The only thing I bought was the wooden rods and everything else was #usewhatyouhave even the magnets. #handmade #sewing #makersgonnamake #toysforchildren #handmadetoysMy next #closetcasepatterns instalment the #pietrapants paired with another #cielotop . What can I say I guess I like their patterns. All deets #linkinbio Fabric for the trousers bought from @minervadotcom #isew #isewlation #imakemyownclothes #handmade #sewistsofinstagram #minervadotcomAnd something for #memademay2020 because it is a favourite combo and it’s colourful! @closetcase.patterns #cielotop @akpatterns #racheljumpsuit #memademay #imakemyownclothes #isew #isewlation #sewistsofinstagram #handmadeFinally, something claimed my scrap fabric and some old clothes and underwear! It appeared twice in my feed this week so I had to make a @closetcase.patterns pouf too. There’s still room for more stuffing and it can also work as a bed. 🤣The outer fabric is upholstery fabric that’s been in my stash for a while was bought thinking it was something else but was perfect for this. #closetcasepouf #isew #sewistsofinstagram #makersgonnamake #handmade #scrapbuster#memademay2020 day 1: hot of the sewing machine @closetcase.patterns #pietrapants in rust colour blades cotton & linen blend purchased from @minervadotcom I feel these trousers will feature a lot. Thrifted denim shirt and old rye top. #isew #sewistsofinstagram #isewlation #handmade #imakemyownclothes #minervacrafts #closetcasepatternsLacking more fabric I resorted in making a top version of the @criswoodsews envelope dress, which turned out to be perfect for the stay at home days, easy, effortless and versatile. Photobombed by my permanent partner in crime. #imakemyownclothes #isew #sewistsofinstagram #handmade #handmadewardrobe #criswoodsewsenvelopeMeta
