Winter Cloak





I finally got around to photographing my winter cloak for you bloggers and for my etsy/madeit shop. i'm super excited about this one, i have been dyeing to include a cloak in one of my collections for about 4 years now. A friend wore one to uni, it was bright green with a go-fer leopard print trim all around the hem of the cloak, i know what your thinking yuuuk! that sounds disgusting, but actually it was quite adorable. i wish more people would embrace the cloak, you hardly ever see people wearing them, well this may be due to the face the perth winters aren't very cold at all, but still.

Here we have it, made from a 80%wool20% synthetic blend fibber, it will also be available in black, deep blue, white and of course the grey. it's lined in a high quality very soft synthetic satin, and available in a wide variety of colours.
Now what would a cloak be if it didn't have a hidden pocket in the lining? well let me tell you, it wouldn't be a cloak at all! i also included a big hood, because who doesn't like a big hood every now and then? i know i do. the cloak also has a cute little peplum sewn in at the neck, but i have decided to make this optional for buyers, as it may not be everyones cup of tea. Mr cloak has two ways of fastening 4 cute detailed metal buttons at the cf for extra coverage and warmth, or if one is in a hurry you can slip the cloak over and tie it up with the grey satin ribbon at the neck.
now for the creme della creme, i have added in a new feat, again it will be option. For those who want to show off a bit of figure and also to keep the warmth in you can thread a sash through some button holes at the waist and turn this cloak in to a JACKET! this extra feature may not be for everyone but personally i love it, gives you the options to turn it up a notch and keep people on there toes.

over and out! my tasty little lemon drops

Some winter tartan fun!


My little project for sunday!
I think it turned out quite well don't you? this is a sneak peak at one of my winter garments that will be up very soon on my etsy shop. i have had this design sketched down for months now and yesterday i finally had some time, and the brain power to get around to it. the tartan fabric is a synthetic wool blend (i think more synthetic than wool) and the red half circle shaped peplums at the side are 100% wool, finished of with a matching tartan waistband, black and gold metal chunky zip, and a wooden button at the back. i had envisaged this skirt for the winter working city girl, looks very nice with opaque leggings for extra warmth and some nice thy high black boots, what do you think?

Its coming on summer in Perth, today is meant to hit above 30 but all i can think of right now is how much i wish it were snowing outside so i could go stomping round making snow angels and having snow ball fights. i think i will have to head to the beach instead.

my Etsy, here you will find some more of my designs for sale, enjoy!
