Spoonflower is a friend of mine 2.0

Ahh, my dearest sewing blog, it's been much too long. University doesn't particularly want me to do fun things, I find. This is evidenced by the fact that I had two 50% and two 60% assignments due on one day. I've never looked better. The highlight of the day was when our tutor opened a curtain and all 40 students groaned at the same time.

Despite my complaining, I had a pretty fab time at uni last half-semester: the best bit was when I got to design a range of gowns that were able to be used as weapons against attackers/rapists. I could totally go for having those dresses hanging in my wardrobe. 

Anywho, I have decided to celebrate the six weeks of freedom I have ahead of me by buying some truly faaaaabulous fabrics off spoonflower.com. This time, I only got two that I didn't design myself:

 What can I say, I'm into pineapples at the moment. I'm hoping the sheer joy of this print can get me through the unpleasantness that is a winter in wellington. It's a long shot but I've decided to be optimistic for once in my life. I want to be the pineapple princess.

I don't care that I just wrote an essay that briefly questioned Rosie the Riveter's credibility as a feminist icon, I still bought this. This secret's between us. If you don't tell, I won't tell. Or something.

The following fabrics are a series that I designed all by my lil' self- the "feminine stuff" series. I just found all of these so damn hilarious that I couldn't quite narrow down my options to a sensible amount.

 "Snails have no place in fashion"- A quote from my ex-boyfriend. Don't worry, we didn't break up because of that outrageous statement. I hope to prove him wrong. it's SLUGS that have no place in fashion, I reckon.

Basset hounds are my lifeblood. That is all. I also designed a purple and yellow pug version which you should be able to find if you search "pretty pugs" on spoonflower.

mmmm.

 Celebrating the fact that I come from New Zealand or something.

I'm truly excited by this one!! I got two yards to make a cute dress for my ball- apparently massey is having one for its first years!! Even if it doesn't work out I'll still have a cute dress so who the fuck cares. I'm hoping that you won't be able to tell it has sharks on it at first glance from a distance, teheehee. 

They should be here soonish so I may make a quick review video or something! I was also planning on maybe filming a tutorial in the next few days and now that I've written it down it's a binding contract and I have to do it. It's a terrifying prospect but my duty is to the people or some shit. 

Seeya!!!
