Please excuse the radio silence here! I have been frantically sewing mask stock for @thedepartmentnapier followed by a long weekend visiting family and enjoying a change of scene in the big smoke of the capital! We joined in the Global Greyhound Walk, visited the Feathermania fashion exhibit at @te_papa and belatedly celebrated our nephews first birthday. I'll be catching up on quotes, messages and masks in coming days, so don't worry if I haven't responded just yet 🎈

Spent the day sewing a new season batch of masks, trying out a selection of linens which are really lovely to wear during these warmer days - yay for spring! Photos coming soon.

How do you wear your beret?! I'm definitely all about the jaunty angle, but I had lots of fun styling it differently in this quick demo! The band on my handmade berets can be worn up or down and with these slouchy vintage velvet berets you can go for major tilt or beanie styling. Don't forget these and other colours can be found on my Etsy store (link in bio). I'd love to hear how you style your beret ♥️

Latest commission ready to jet set off to Palmerston North 💚 swipe to see the inspiration image - patterns and sewing all created right here at Tammy Twinkletoes. Lockdown has put a hold on completing other commissions as I've run out of thread, piping cord and fusing, but the weather is lovely so I'll be making the most of it by playing with my new (to me) camera and heading off on cycling adventures in the neighbourhood. Stay safe and be kind x

Sneak peek of the latest commission 💚💚 1930s style dress perfectly suited to this spring weather we are blessed with during lockdown.

Lockdown day two: pretending spring is here! I spotted these beautiful blossoms on my morning walk and then spent the day remodelling an old make, like spring cleaning for the wardrobe! I made the original dress over 10 years ago and wore it so much the delicate cotton began to give way at the neckline and zip, in recent years it languished waiting to be mended and recently I discovered it also no longer fit. But the fabric is so beautiful I just had to revive it! I even managed to find the original offcuts and make matching hair bows! Perfect now for golden hour in front of the blossoms ❤️

@deco__ag looks absolutely incredible in her Roberta dress, definitely channelling thirties film starlet style! A lot of thinking and detailed handwork went into this commission and it is so good to see the results being worn and loved!

New berets listed on Etsy! (Follow link in bio) including the first batch made of black velveteen - photographed here on a glorious foggy morning last weekend. I particularly loved how each cobweb glistened like a diamond necklace out of the mist.

A new batch of berets is just about ready! There's been a breath of spring in the air so I took the opportunity to snap some pictures of this pink beret with my new @sondeflor dress amidst some magical winter flowers.

Details of the Roberta dress featuring metres of turned loops. My favourite new tool of 2020 is my loop turner! I've used it for turning bridal button loops, spaghetti straps and now these decorative loops. Certainly couldn't have completed this project without it!
