Friday Fancies

Yay! It’s Friday.

To celebrate I’d like to share some of my “fancies” for this week. In no particular order, here are some things I’m currently loving.

• Happy Hangers, from Dottie Angel.

I’d love to make some of these to hang my handmade dresses on. They'd make cute gifts too.

• This tutorial from Casey at Elegant Musings on how to add hip pockets to a skirt. I’ll be using a plainer version of this for my denim Simplicity 2263 tulip skirt.

• Lace skirts, like this one from La Redoute.

I think it looks gorgeous with the black peplum top. Both items seem as if they would be quite simple to make. If only I could find some lovely lace fabric that doesn’t break the bank...

• Crumpets, particularly home made ones using this recipe from The Hairy Bikers. (Actually I love the look of pretty much everything The Hairy Bikers cook!).  You wouldn’t normally associate crumpets with July, but with the weather we’ve been having recently, I might just have to make some of these this weekend!

• Cats reading newspapers.

 

I know I said in no particular order, but that cat might well be my favourite this week!

Have a lovely weekend!
