Batch 1 finished and paid for, so I got me a little treat: aren’t they gorgeous? And Hush Puppies too, so they’re really comfortable. Gawd I’m getting old, that was never an issue with shoes until recently!
I also went rummaging in stash and found the fabric that I have in mind for my Steampunk Six Napoleon dress. I think it looks outrageous and matches the green tones in the silk beautifully.
It’s much darker than this in reality, but it really is as rubbery. It squeaks lol. Well, I might as well put the punk back in steampunk.
I’m itching to do some sewing, but the deadlines are very tight now, so I may be silent for while. I’ll then go into crazy mode to get all my projects done in time for our August Bank Holiday madness.
Watch this space!
I also had a little wander in the wet garden to stretch my legs a tad.
It’s soggy but beautiful out there!

And I forgot to mention that I love that shiny green stuff. I am sure I saw some at Abakhan in the sale and wanted it, but was worried about how it would wash.

I don’t care how it washes, it’s hilariously perverse lol even the saleswoman was laughing as she squeaked it off the roll. Dawn was wincing…perfect!

I looked on the HushPuppies website for those shoes and could not find them. Would you mind sharing where you purchased them? Thanks.

Fantastic shoes! Comfortable shoes really can not be too highly rated. Shoes can ruin your day and your body.
The garden looks great. We just started with our strawberry harvest. It’s now a daily ‘chore’ to keep up!

Hush Puppies are my favourite (along with one other Spanish make): perfect heel height for my hallux rigidus. But I would have guessed by the look of those they were Poste Mistress.
Love the fabric match: you will look (and sound) amazing!

I am in love with those shoes. They are the perfect shape and the perfect scandalous red. Actually, for some reason they remind me of Nanny Ogg but in my book that’s big shoes to fill (see what I did there?). I love the idea of squeaky, shiny fabric. I have a big box of latex but have never made anything from it yet. If your fabric is anything like PVC then sewing through strips of tissue paper will save your sanity. Xx

I think the tissue paper may well be needed! [And the shoes are outrageously comfy too]
