#MarchMeetTheMaker P L A N N I N G I am very visual, so my planning involves notes, to do lists, mulling ideas around in my head and then pulling out all the materials I think I will need and playing with them until it clicks. Sometimes it all comes together easily, other times it bubbles away and takes time and trial and error before I get the right result. Every time I am learning and it makes the planning easier for the next time! #planning #designprocess #materialsled #designing #vintagediamante #diamante #green #haircomb #vintagehairaccessories #vintagehaircomb #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsyselleruk #etsyuk #crystal #patina #oldgold #antiquegold #handmade #handcrafted #oneoff #oak #oneofakind #mmtm #mmtmday28 #marchmeetthemaker2020 #mmtm2020 #learningcurve #learningprocess
#MarchMeetTheMaker FU T U R E G O A L S Even if I had planned these posts a couple of weeks ago, I think my response to this prompt would pretty much be the same. We have all recently had time to reflect and take stock of what is really important. And generally that comes down to love, who do we love, what do we love doing. Here is the first bride that I ever worked with, Kathryn, who found me through my first ever stockist @made_in_stroud and commissioned me to make a fascinator for her wedding in 2012. Since then I have been hooked. I love working directly with clients to produce something unique for their special day. And even better when I am able to do it in an ethical and sustainable manner, using vintage and recycled materials. So for the future, I believe the way forward has to be at a slower pace, more considered, fairer and kinder. I hope when we come out of this we can create a better future for all of us, humans, animals and the planet. #futuregoals #future #lookahead #wayforward #kindness #ethical #sustainable #earthkind #firsts #goals #mmtm #marchmeetthemaker2020 #mmtmday27 #mmtm2020 #stroud #cotswolds #brude #instabride #realbride #weddinghairstyle #weddinginspo #vintagebride #vintagewedding #vintageweddingdress #bridalheaddress #bridalaccessories #ethicalbride #ecobride
#MarchMeetTheMaker H O W I T S M A D E Ta-da! One little percher hat made from an old straw hat. The original hat was from the 1970's and was too small, so practically unwearable. By wetting, stretching and re-blocking it over a wooden hat block I have re-made it into a more modern shape, and used some of the left overs to make a curled straw trim, with added vintage flowers, faux fruit and veiling. #howitsmade #beforeandafter #before #after #imadethis #handmade #milliner #millinery #remade #remodelled #upcycled #ethical #sustainable #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #strawhat #percherhat #summerhat #creamhat #cream #minihat #miniberet #weddinghat #mmtm #mmtmday25 #marchmeetthemaker2020 #motherofthebride #motherofthegroom #weddingguest
#MarchMeetTheMaker P E R S O N A L T O U C H Of course I am going to say that everything I make has the personal touch! There are many reasons for this. . I make everything by hand myself, I don't outsource or employ anyone else, it's just me . Due to the nature of the vintage, natural and upcycled materials I use, no two pieces are ever the same. Sometimes I'll make up a batch of products in the same fabric, so they may look identical but they invariably have different characteristics . If you commission a bespoke piece you can also add your own personal touches, either by supplying unique materials to incorporate into it or we can add references that have meaning to you, such as an animal motif or a favourite colour Photoshoot images show me adding the finishing touches to models Anne and Uta Photos @camillareynoldsphoto Dresses @emilymcnairofficial Tiara & fascinator @gemmasangwine Hair @harrietsorganichairdressing Makeup @ainethomasmua #mmtm #mmtm2020 #mmtmday24 #marchmeetthemaker2020 #personaltouch #finishingtouches #bespoke #unique #uniquebridal #ooak #vintagestyle #photoshoot #behindthescenes #bespokebride #bespokebridal #vintagetiara #fascinator #sidetiara #pearlfascinator #vintagestyle #vintagebride #vintagebridal #vintagehairaccessories #indiebride #instabride #styling #photoshootstyling #stroud #cotswolds #cotswoldwedding
#MarchMeetTheMaker P H O T O G R A P H Y A lot of the images that I share on here are professional ones, and I am lucky to know some very talented photographers and to be involved in some great styled shoots, for which I am always grateful. Here's some examples from @roothetog taken at the Etsy Made Local fair at @newbreweryarts last year. And for comparison, there is my studio set up - precariously balanced by the window to make the best use of natural daylight, and shot on my camera phone. I photograph every piece I make but am always excited to receive customer photos as I love seeing how you style and wear them! 1st & 2nd image credit @newbreweryarts and @roothetog #photography #photoshoot #photographer #photograph #proimage #instaphotography #instaphoto #instaphotographer #studiophotography #behindthescenes #hireaprofessional #mmtm #mmtm2020 #marchmeetthemaker2020 #hairaccessory #hairaccessories #sidetiara #headband #headbands #vintagediamante #vintagehairaccessories #hat #minihat #percherhat #milliner #millinery #millinerystudio
#MarchMeetTheMaker T O O L S A N D M A T E R I A L S My hoarders paradise of a studio is choc full of vintage materials and tools - I try and source everything 2nd hand if I can, even scissors, thread and pliers can be thrifted locally - especially as we are lucky to have the @vintagemarystroud market stall once a week here in Stroud, which is always good for a rummage as you never know what you will find 💚 Do you have a favourite tool or material stash that you treasure? . . #tools #materials #toolsandmaterials #equipment #vintagetools #sewingtools #vintagematerials #mmtm #mmtm2020 #marchmeetthemaker2020 #thrifted #recycled #recycling #reducereuserecycle #buysecondhand #scissors #pliers #vintagesequins #vintagetrimmings #vintage #vintagesewing #milliner #millinery #sewing #sewingstash
