<br />
As you might know some people are putting artwork in their windows for people and particularly children to see during the UK CoronaVisus emergency whilst they take some exercise.<br />
<br />
You might have seen rainbows and teddy bears already!<br />
<br />
During w/c 4th April the theme is Easter and I made this to put up in my window .<br />

<b>Posting: </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Most of my lampshades are posted to customers - I have posted out 100s now - mostly within the UK but smaller ones have gone to the USA, Russia, EU and Australia ( see note about Overseas Orders*) .<br />
<br />
I wrap in bubble wrap ( I reuse as much as I can and I may change this at some point ) , then I put a layer of corrugated card around lampshade, then I pop it into a cardboard box. You may receive your lampshade in a recycled box - I reuse those as much as possible too. PLEASE RECYCLE THESE PACKING MATERIALS thank you xxx !<br />
<br />
I post 2nd class ROYAL MAIL as standard - they have always been reliable for me and I have been posting with them for years now.<br />
<br />
Max sizes of lampshades for UK posting<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Widest - Up to 40cm wide by 30cm high</li>
<li>Tallest - 25cm wide by 55 cm high </li>
</ul>
<br />
Max size of lampshade for non UK / Overseas Orders *<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>20cm wide by 24cm high</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
I will always try to minimise my usage of packing materials and will post lampshades together if you buy multiples BUT only if I can do so without risking damage.<br />
<br />

What size or shape do you want ....? </h2>
<h2>
<br />Well lets define what I can offer . </h2>
<br />
I make what it referred to as a RIGID lampshade - lined with a PVC liner - on rigid frame ( see spec * at bottom of post ) .<br />
<br />
Primarily I make a range of drum ,cone or empire lampshades - I do not make SOFT lampshades requiring hand sewing .<br />

(Edit : I now do another Cone size 25cm w x 37cm h )<br />
<br />
<u>I can do other sizes/shapes with the following limitations: </u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Max sizes for posting are : <b>WIDEST - 40cm wide x 30cm high</b> / <b>35cm w x 40cm</b> high and <b>TALLEST 25 cm wide x 55cm high</b>. </li>
<li>Largest posted <b>outside the UK </b>is 20cm wide x 25 cm high </li>
<li>I can do larger lampshades if picked up by customer from studio BUT extra charges will apply to cover non standard frame sizes and more rigid PVC liner which I do not hold in stock</li>
<li>I do a standard WHITE liner - I can do others ( colours/metallics ) but additional charges will apply as I do not hold those in stock and basically they cost a fair bit more. </li>
<li>I can easily customise HEIGHT but I cannot alter width options for DRUM lampshades.</li>
<li>Any cone or empire lampshade requires a template - I do a limited range - additional charges will apply if you require something other than these. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Some notes on fabric :<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I use my own fabric , you can send me yours but there will be no reduction in lampshade cost ( I don't do plain ones tho' - honestly if you want a plain colour lampshade there cheaper places to go ) . </li>
<li>Vintage fabric generally is 119cm wide - the max lampshade is 35cm wide if working across the fabric width on these fabrics. For wider ones I have to join 2 widths together thus the lampshade would have a seam or I alternatively could use the length of the fabric ( if I have enough and the design works that way) . This may limit your options for a particular fabric.</li>
<li>The condition, amount available and design of any of my fabrics can limit the sizes offered</li>
<li><b>I use VINTAGE fabric</b> - up to 70 years old - it is rarely absolutely perfect so if brand new looking is what you need you might need to look elsewhere.</li>
<li><b>Again I use VINTAGE fabric - if you see something you like don't delay your purchase I have limited available of each fabric and cannot guarantee finding the one you liked again! </b></li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
Here's a few that I have made in the last few weeks, but as I have over 300 vintage fabrics this is just a selection of what I can make for you from genuine 50s bark cloth, to funky 60s and 70s prints, plus some classic ' modern country ' / shabby chic / classic Sanderson fabrics.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Visiting Cirencester :</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am fortunate to live here! it is a beautiful Cotswolds town, lovely places to walk - why not do the 'Hare Trail ' ? and award winning Museum , Street markets several times a week, Antiques centre and regular markets in the Corn Hall - including an Antiques Market each Friday, Brewery Arts centre for local / uk designers, one of the oldest spring fed outdoor pool in the UK. All of these are within the Town Centre!!! so you don't have to walk miles and there is a very wider selection of Pubs, cafes and restaurants. It is a very DOG FRIENDLY town - most shops allow dogs as do most cafes and pubs and even the posher hotels !</span><br />

<br />
BUT what a lovely way to make use of and also display some of my lovely vintage fabrics. <br />
<br />
It was inevitable really that I would end up making these I suppose and it was a case of the design being right almost straightway . As usually I started with drawing our a design on paper an made a prototype. This was the first one and really all I had to do was make a few changes to the arms and legs and very minor tweaks to head and body. Each one take 4 to 5 hours to make and each one is UNIQUE.<br />

There's a bit animal theme - so far I have BearCubs, KittyKats and RabbitRascals although I expect I'll do a few more variation ! Each one take 4 to 5 hours to make and each one is UNIQUE.<br />

<br />
It is pretty much the only event I do because it is EASILY the best round here. <br />
<br />
Why ? <br />
<br />
- It's for two great charities - Paternoster School in Cirencester and JDRF( the type 1 diabetes charity)<br />
- It is a STRICTLY vintage and eco charity - no new stock allowed unless from a eco or freetrade source, and the organisers do ask stallholders to remove anything that doesn't stock to this standard<br />
- It has a fabulous selection of stalls with great items and lovely stallholders<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVt5Mysv8me0LDT4pZxWmCA0EgYj4mbgoHNCFUCsr9YIegN-MUmpg6y0_pIpQpiz2KDHwAvngdo3tV5dbnHvxCuC9PJYKdukUNhy_DILUxjaTZT6kzmByHWSc1Xe4YxQLuwlpssq6vtCaW/s1600/DSCN9230+%2528414x640%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVt5Mysv8me0LDT4pZxWmCA0EgYj4mbgoHNCFUCsr9YIegN-MUmpg6y0_pIpQpiz2KDHwAvngdo3tV5dbnHvxCuC9PJYKdukUNhy_DILUxjaTZT6kzmByHWSc1Xe4YxQLuwlpssq6vtCaW/s320/DSCN9230+%2528414x640%2529.jpg" width="206" /> </a>- It is at a super venue, there is a fabulous café and a beautifully stocked organic shop. <br />
<br />
.... and my friend Emma organises it and it is just down the road from me , we visit this café/shop regularly. <br />
<br />
This was all my stall last year <br />

<br />
Thanks too all my friends and customers who supported this event- my goodness what a lot of cake was consumed.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3OdFTMlSHl4J5SpmJp2-e6nN5iTyiYwryEg72NTS6jJ3rgBAS_JrBUgO87SHxT6d1ejhNs_K-FmZdraF91GriIJtYW1rpX36VQL5-5_mNojGef5kl49PP-QL4ThEHzW61MDLLjoUuyrN6/s1600/IMG_1178.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3OdFTMlSHl4J5SpmJp2-e6nN5iTyiYwryEg72NTS6jJ3rgBAS_JrBUgO87SHxT6d1ejhNs_K-FmZdraF91GriIJtYW1rpX36VQL5-5_mNojGef5kl49PP-QL4ThEHzW61MDLLjoUuyrN6/s320/IMG_1178.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
As usual the coffee morning coincided with my Autumn WittyDawn Sale and I donated 10% of my sales to the final donation amount. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">THE FINAL AMOUNT RAISED WAS JUST OVER £227 !!!!</span></b> <br />
<br />
EDIT: due to a late donation the final total went up to <b><u><span style="font-size: large;">£253.57 !!!!</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
This is a regular yearly event for WittyDawn - in it's 4th year now. Macmillan is a charity we as a family have supported for many years via monthly donations too.<br />
<br />
However this event also gives me a chance to get all my stock out and review it for the Xmas period , it MAKES me tidy my studio and not least I get to catch up with lots of people and make a few new friends too. <br />
<br />
Here's a few shots of my studio in sale mode: <br />

A couple of people have asked me for dog treat recipes so here are the ones that I have used - passed onto me by other kind folks and seen on some great Facebook pages ( eg Lurcher Appreciation Page) :<br />
<br />
<b>TUNA BAKE</b> - the one I use the most<br />
1 Tin tuna in sunflower oil, 100 g Self raising flour, 1 egg plus some grated cheese if you like.<br />
<br />
Mix, press flat in an oiled microwave dish ( I use a pyrex bowl glass lid) , cook on full full power for 6 to 7 minutes.<br />
<br />
<b>Corned Beef bake</b> -<br />
I tin of corned beef , 1 egg, 60 ml water, 300 g plain flour, 100 g cheese<br />
Mix, press into a grease and lined baking tray, cook for about 25 mins at 180 ( 160 fan ) - although I admit I am a bit casual/check it and see about cooking times LOL .<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Liver Bake</b>- current fav this makes LOADS<br />
400g liver, 1/2 pint cold water, 400g plain flour ( although last batch I did was 50: 50 SR and plain and was good also, 1 egg, 2.5 fl oz of olive oil<br />
<br />
Blend liver and water, mix in other ingredients, bake in shallow greaseproof paper lined tin 30 - 35 mins at 180 degrees. Might have to prick with fork halfway through.<br />
<br />
<b>FOR ALL THE ABOVE RECIPES</b><br />
Allow to cool<br />
Cut into small dice shapes <br />
Freeze and then defrost small amount <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Variations ?</b><br />
You could try rice flour instead of wheatflour<br />
You could try other tinned fish in oil<br />
I only had 250g of liver last time did liver bake so I substituted apple and sweet potato - worked just fine and might be useful if you need a lower fat treat for your dog.<br />
<br />
I have tasted the Tuna and Corned beef ones and the am VERY nice .... but I haven't tried the liver one!<br />
<br />
Here is Tom waiting for a treat - By the way the photo was taken by Steve Shepard - <a href="http://candidcanines.co.uk/">Candid Canines</a> <br />

<br />
Ok been a while but I've been busy. <br />
<br />
Back in February we adopted a lovely hound from the fabulous people at the Blue Cross! he is a lovely chap but was terribly thin. So I had a couple of months off from doing much work whilst I concentrated on feeding him up and training him. His name is MAJOR TOM - or Tom for short, he is a lurcher (with a good deal of greyhound in him ! maybe some staffie/collie in the mix too?)<br />
<br />
As you can see he has developed beautifully :) <br />

He came to us healthy, neutered, chipped, vaccinated and with a trusting, happy personally - just thin and in need of a comfy, warm place. he has since been back to visit his Blue Cross friends and from his waggy tail it was clear he had formed a real bond with then during his stay. He is a lovely chap - obedient ( except for when he see cats/rabbits/squirrels - they flip his CRAZY switch, sighthounds like him do have a high prey drive!) , gentle and my how wonderfully he looks when he runs! He has even won a best trick prize at a local show ! <br />

If you are thinking of getting a dog PLEASE consider a rescue .... don't assume you are getting a dog with 'issues' many are simply unlucky or have had to have been given up by caring owners due to changes in their circumstances. We do not know Tom's history other then being found as an unchipped stray but we have yet to see any behaviour issues or signs of abuse. <br />

We did have to buy wood for the top, casters, wadding and metalized ironing board cover BUT re-used :<br />
<ul>
<li>An ikea unit that had been given to us and which we had modified.</li>
<li>Old shelving wood left over from out kitchen refurbishment</li>
<li>Fabric that I had already </li>
</ul>
It was a joint project !<br />
OH cut wood to shape, bolted on lockable casters and added wood panels on each side to increase height.<br />
<br />

I came up with the design and then - using my SO SO useful staple gun - added wadding and ironing board cover to top and then finished it with a pretty cotton fabric. TOP TIP - if you are going to staple a cover on remember you don't want staples to catch fabric if you are in habit of ironing items over the end of your ironing board hence I covered the under side with some handstitched fabric ( not the WHOLE underside just the end piece ! )<br />
<br />
Very pleased with the new addition to my studio! I think the total cost was about £40 for the new items.<br />
<br />
I may paint it but it looks pretty good as it is so that may never happen! <br />

This applied to my so called 'temporary' kitchen 7- 8 yrs old. We used Ikea Varde freestanding units because we'd had them before and they are ACE. Some from ebay, one as a sale/second and a couple new. We sourced a sink from ebay and reused all kinds of beech worksurfaces - all different height! and we reused exiting appliences . It cost us about £1400 in total.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
And jolly nice it was too! .... but my slightly dodgy back demanded a higher oven ( when it's bad I have had to kneel down to get stuff out of oven and lift up on to counter ! NOT GOOD!) and I had a 25 yr savings plan to play with so....<br />
<br />
We are working on a new kitchen !!!<br />
<br />

This is the progress so far - I am awaiting granite ( whoop!) worktops and then my builder ( and good friend ) will be back to do lots of inventive carpentry finishing touches. We have no working sink in the kitchen yet and no hob BUT we do have a utility sink and a working dishwasher and new oven so not slumming it by any means . I STILL have more painting to do !<br />
<br />
Upcycling is still a feature to some extent - one Ikea Varde unit remains in place and will get a blue paint job. Two other Varde units and some shelving has moved to the shed to form a work table/area. Several other kitchen items have been popped onto ebay to continue to serve elsewhere :) <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Home-Furniture-DIY-/11700/m.html?item=171919833381&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_ssn=audreyscatww&_sac=1">Kitchen bits! </a><br />
<br />
I will name check all our suppliers when I post a final update when it is finished - but they have ALL been excellent so far. I will also cover what inspired the colour choices ... hint: that car boot £1 vintage wallpaper that you can spot on right! <br />

So we have recently returned from a super holiday in Sweden - we have a bunch of holiday photos to edit and recommendations of things to do but that will follow shortly....<br />
<br />
We stayed in the beautiful ( and I suspect rather
upmarket?) Nacka area, lovely houses set in heavily wooded settings
with great gardens. Unlike here in the UK people seem to not put up
fences/ walls etc so there was a shared view aspect to their gardens
which was appealing and made the most of the great location. There was a
supermarket a short drive away and bus stop nearby too ( walking
distance) . However we travelled by ferry into Stockholm and out to the
islands from the local ferry point a very short drive away.<br />
<br />
<b>Well what super holiday home we had !!</b> - lots of Ikea ( naturally...) and lovely colours! very stylish :). The grey and white scheme with coral touched was particularly beautiful in the first floor living area but all the rooms were beautifully styled. This was a family home and so I won't share pictures of bedrooms/ bathrooms but they were all to this standard, and very clean and tidy. Obviously I rather coveted the vintage sideboard ...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The co-ordinated theme extend to the garden with knowledgable planting relying on structural forms with a green/grey/purple pallette.There was a lovely large decking area to the rear where we had breakfast and a balcony across the front of the house. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was perhaps the most stylish holiday home we have stayed in and we thank our hosts for a delightful stay !

<br />
<br />
FINALLY I decided to get on an make something for an event at which I had a stall. It usually takes something like this with a deadline to make me get on with a project! I must say I was pretty pleased with how it turn out and I got lots of lovely comments.<br />

<br />
The dress was adapted from a combination of a couple of pattern and the cape pattern was from <a href="http://veravenus.com/diy-things-to-make-tutorials-patterns/">Sew Vera Venus</a> found on a great resource called <a href="http://thevintagepatternfiles.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Cape">The Vintage Pattern Files </a><br />
<br />
( Edit: Since making this cape I've had lots of requests to make more - however the pattern is not one I created so I asked the lovely Jeanne of <a href="http://veravenus.com/diy-things-to-make-tutorials-patterns/">Sew Vera Venus</a> if I could use it to make some to sell on and she has very kindly given me permission. A very charming and talented lady - I do urge you to check out her site. Contact me if you would like a cape in one of my vintage fabric! ) <br />

NOT SHOWN: With it I had a vintage leather handbag and green suede 40s style shoes - the latter came from Hotter shoes who surprisingly do some lovely comfortable styles that work really well with a vintage look!<br />

They grew sweetpeas and sold them to pay for an annual holiday and they were always happy to stop and chat. They also grew an little Oak tree, they pruned it to keep it little - like a bonsai oak 'lollipop'!.<br />
<br />
Time passed and many years went by ... but eventually and within a few months of one another... they too passed... and went on to garden in the 'undiscovered country' ....<br />
<br />
The little tree stayed on the allotment but it's future was uncertain ... so it came to live with us.<br />
<br />
It settled in well and coped with it's move but last summer had to move again .... it didn't like this 2nd move and it looked as if it's time too had passed....<br />
<br />
BUT.... you never can tell... let's see what happens next Spring we said.<br />
<br />
This time the leaves came and looked stronger but it was clear that lots of it's little branches and twigs had died. I had to be brave and cut out all the dead wood ( ... life is like that sometimes....).<br />

While it's shape has changed radically , I hope it's original custodians will approve of our attempts to keep it going , but in my mind it will always be their little Oak Lollipop tree :)Witty Dawn and AudreysCat - By Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08114257168301304098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164999327591641750.post-67776332513252478282015-05-29T00:25:00.000-07:002015-05-29T00:27:00.305-07:00Studio update - nearly there !A quick update!<br />

And my quest for recycled furniture continues .... the trolley was £2
from a carboot BUT may end up in my kitchen ... and the map chest was
£90 , it had a date ot 1969 stamped inside :)<br />

<br />
The builders have started! and I will soon have a dedicated hobby/craft room with a HUGE cutting table and all my vintage fabric will be in one place. When I make a dress I will no longer have to do the 'house sewing circuit' - YOU know the one... cut it out downstairs on dining room table, sew it in tiny box room, try it on my bedroom and repeat.. and repeat.... <br />
<br />

<br />
Now whilst you might think 'lucky girl' ... well ... yes indeed!... but.... this is the result of a savings plan that dates back 25 YEARS !!! .... so I have waited a while ;)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My objective is to furnish it as much as possible from recycled items and thrifted finds but even so the pennies only stretch so far - and realising just what an INSANE amount of fabric I have I have been selling some on via ebay - if you like vintage fabric you might like to check it out ?<br />

<br />
At the moment I am on the lookout for a Architects Plan/ Map chest - to store my patterns and my artwork . The latter is 'stored' under an armchair at the moment - NOT ideal.<br />
<br />
I'm also after either an Ercol or a Lloyd Loom chair as well. Then - in theory - I am sorted ( ish... famous last words .... )<br />

Firstly this was indeed a fun dress to make - and having made it yes I think I could happily run another up in a couple of hours.....and I intend to do so maybe with some design tweaks too! <br />
<br />
As I am a fairly rubinesque size 16 and no longer in the first flush of youth , small waisted/big skirt designs are not always the MOST flattering look for me but the wrap/high waist design did seem to do me a few favours - OH seemed to approve anyway! <br />
<br />
I'm not going to do a step by step guide - you'll need the pattern for that - Butterick B4790 - BUT I am going to pass on what I hope will be some useful advice which might help you end up with a dress you'll be happy with .<br />
<br />
1. This design comes up SMALL on the waist in my opinion. Measure your waist and use that to determine the size you need against the ACTUAL pattern piece - do not be surprised if you go up a couple of sizes from your size in a modern garment. This is quite often the case in vintage patterns - even reissued ones. Unhelpfully the pattern has NO info' relating size to body measurements on the back of the packet! SO be careful f you can get into modern, often stretch'y size 16 jeans you ain't necessarily gonna get into a size 16 version of this dress !!<br />
<br />
2. Choose a fabric with some body to it - by that I mean stiffness. A floppy fabric will not give you that nice 'sticky out ' 50s shape to the skirt or show that bodice shape as well. I used a heavier weight cotton - ( a rather nice find in a charity shop - grey plaid on on side, red on the other). I think this would be a knock out in raw/curtain weight silk / silk mix as well.<br />
<br />

3. You might think you can put a net petticoat under that skirt - sorry nope - the under skirt/front is a closer fit than you might realise . HOWEVER I think it entirely possible to alter the pattern to have the underskirt as a fuller/lace/netted petticoat. I might have a go at this sometime!<br />
<br />
4. Bias binding point 1 - 9 metres should be enough if you follow pattern exactly. I however wanted bias binding on overskirt hem and I didn't bother bias binding sides and hem ( where I used lace instead) of the underskirt. For this modification to the pattern I used 10.5 metres. <br />
<br />
5. Bias binding point 2 - I would suggest using a fabric/bias binding combination where your fabric is stiffer/has more body that your bias binding. If you use a softer/thinner fabric with a coarser bias binding I think you could risk a twist in those front edges - which you want to keep nice and straight ! <br />
<br />
6. Bust darts ! I made this up , tried it on and bust darts tips were at least an inch higher that where they should be. OK - this MAY be just me LOL ! BUT remember this pattern was styled to 1950s undergarments and they tended to haul your 'ladies' up quite high and make 'em pointy . So unless you do the FULL vintage look with period appropriate bra/corsetry you may have to adjust the bust dart slightly . <br />

I hope these tips help you out - I would certainly make this again and I look forward to wearing it when the weather gets just a bit warmer! <br />
<br />
( BTW - The red comes over the shoulder more on my dress as I tweaked it to have some red showing on the front shoulder - If you follow the pattern exactly and use two contracting fabrics you won't get the same effect as on my dress )<br />
<br />
EDIT:My estimated size info' on waist measurements. Max waist size, assuming front edges should meet and allowing 1 inch for narrow hem on back seam. <br />
<br />
Size 22 - 35 inches<br />
Size 20 - 33 inches<br />
Size 18 - 31 inches<br />
Size 16 - 29 inches<br />
<br />
I have based this on actual pattern measurement from my size 16 -22 pattern .
