Last week I finally bought myself a new sewing machine, and it's so exciting! After 3 years of heavy use my little yellow John Lewis machine gave up the ghost. I now have a Bernette, and you can change the feet! And it has a computerised front! And 60 stitches! It even does button holes and embroidered letters. I don't think my life is going to be the same again. I don't have a lot of time to sew at

The next project in my quest to add colour to everything in my room is this cute marbled picture frame DIY! I actually bought these frames thinking that I would decorate them with a tiled mosaic, but that proved to be too difficult. I'm glad I marbled them instead though because this project is easier, cheaper, quicker and filled with just as much colour!

Underwear is so expensive, especially for the small amount of fabric that you buy, so I decided to DIY my own triangle bra. Joe took these photos for me when I was in Southampton last week, and we had so much fun!
You will need: 1/4 metre of cotton

A week ago I showed you guys how to make this red skirt. This week I used the tutorial to make myself a maxi skirt! I've simplified the process slightly, so I thought I'd share a new updated tutorial. This took me two hours to sew from scratch - two hours! I dare you to find a quicker method. The high, elasticated waist is something that really suits my style, and I love the 70s pattern I chose even

I spotted this red pu leather fabric in a shop in York and I knew that I had to make it into something! I decided that it would make a really cute high-waisted skirt and I spent the morning sewing one, and that afternoon wearing it! This is a really easy and worthwhile project - skirts like this are such a wardrobe basic! If you've never made your own clothes before, this would be a great place to
