Loving the vintage vibe!

Here's where I'll share my obsession with vintage fabric! It's taking over my house!

I'll sharing with you my favorite fabrics, my 'adventures" in dressmaking using vintage patterns, some home furnishing ideas and no doubt I'll be telling you about any exciting finds! Love to hear about your vintage adventures too!

My first Shop was AudreysCat ( online shop May 2010) , but my new logo / name - WittyDawn , arrived Jan 2014.

I hope you'll have time to browse my shops too !

Exciting - I was in Craftseller!


At the end of Dec 2011 I was featured in Craftseller - Fame at last (!?!?) along with some of my Retro Reborn animals. Very strange to see yourself in a magazine!

My Handmade Xmas!


If there one thing I have a lot of in my house it's fabric scraps! So whilst watching Harry Potter with the kids I put them to good use ... maybe I'll do a couple for sale next Crimbo...

Vintage'd up


I took my Mum to a Vintage Tea party organised recently by Lavinia's Tea Party http://www.laviniasteaparty.com/ and featuring fabulous Burlesque Artiste Dulcie Demure https://www.facebook.com/DDBurlesque?sk=wall ( I'd forgotten about the that element of the tea party but Mum thought she was fab...). Very fun afternoon!

Mum's in a dress I made from vintage fabric and I'm in a skirt made from some Sandersons curtain fabric called 'Primitif'.

New Thrifting Finds!



These were such a find I had to share....

The Christmas decs ( 60's maybe ?) were mixed in with a load of modern decorations and the vase was found at the same charity shop ( 50's/60s) - £4 for the lot and I can't WAIT to use them
