Maddy and Me Designs - Fairyland

  

Hi Readers,
I hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful start to their week.
I'm happy to finally release a new series of posts that have been in the works for the last couple of months. This new series came to me when I realised how much my daughter was into fashion and design. Every day I'd receive drawings from her of outfits that she designed herself, before I knew it I had drawers full of them!
So what does any other DIY crazy, sewing machinist, budget frenzied mother do? She recreates them!
So, this new series is where I literally recreate, design and produce Maddy's drawings into fashion pieces for herself, this new series is called Maddy and Me.

To kick off the first project we have this dress, which Maddy decided on naming Fairyland.

Madeleine's Design

This is Maddy's original drawing, a purple and pink dress with flower embellishments along the shoulders and not one but TWO purses (a girl can't have too many bags). 

My Redesign

Translating Maddy's design into what my sewing skills could do I came up with this, an empire waist dress with a pink tulle skirt and hand-sewn rose embellishments around the neckline and waist. 

Final Product

After designing pattern pieces, experimenting and prototyping, this is the final product.
Designer: Maddy and Me
Photographer: Vanessa Pham
Editor: Vanessa Pham
Model: Madeleine Pham








and a photo with digitally added fairy wings... because why the heck not? It's Fairyland baby!

I hope you all enjoyed today's blog post, thank you all for sticking around and visiting. See you all in the next post!

My son goes through many different phases. Like any fan girl, once he likes something, he is devoted and obsessed. A couple of years ago it was Woody, last year it was Iron Man, this year it is Spiderman. And just like all those previous years, he wants EVERYTHING covered in his latest love. Shirts, walls, plates, shoes, dear god he even asked his barber to shave spiderwebs into his hair. So what do you think he said when I asked him what theme he wanted his birthday to be this year? You got it! Spiderman! He claimed Peter Parkers thrown, while I was playing Peter Porker trying to organise an intimate and fun Spiderman birthday for my son on a tight budget.

Today's blog post we will be reviewing Loreal's Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara. According to the Loreal website  CLICK HERE "Miss Manga Mascara builds 15 times the volume of natural lashes, both top and bottom. Lashes are amplified for wider, bigger and more open doll like eyes...  Eyes are instantly opened and widened for the ultimate Manga Doll Eye look.

So not only did it create...

DIY Make Up Brush Cleaner

Image
Keeping your make up tools clean is a very important step when it comes to make up and skin care.  I do a regular spot clean, but spot cleaning isn't enough. Without deep cleaning your make up brushes they will hoard and make the perfect home for bacteria - a big no no for your skins well being.  Not only do you want a deep cleaning solution that will get the most deepest and stubborn of make up out, but one that is soft and gentle on the bristles.  I am a huge fan of AprilJustinTV on youtube (yes this story is going somewhere) and she always talks about this home made solution she found on the internet and it works absolute wonders for her make up brushes. I had to google it.  It turned out so great, cleaning my brushes has never been any easier. Takes less than half the time it use to. I just have to share the DIY solution with you guys!   What You Will Need: - Your brushes that need a good clean - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Soap (I prefer our ge...
