Tailor Tilda - Sewing Room at Totally Tilda

Happy Sunday everyone! I do hope you're not caught up in this awful weather if you're in the UK and that wherever you are you're enjoying the weekend.  I'm making the most of mine because I'm back to work on Monday....boo! lol

I'm here with my DT post for our new challenge at Totally Tilda and the challenge is 'Sewing Room'.

For this challenge you need to feature in some way at least one of the following on your work, Cotton reel,

Sewing machine, Mannequin / Dress form.

You can of course use more than one.

I used them all lol, and added a needle packet, pins, scissors and buttons to the mix, though I did stop short of adding the kitchen sink :P

I fancied a change from making a card, so to totally fit in with the theme, I made a little vintage sewing box to house all my coloured threads and needles. The papers I used are from Pion Design, these are sooo good for projects like this as they always do some kind of element sheet, that where the button card, needle packet and spool cotton card come from.

The dies are by La La Land Crafts and Memory Box, I added a little frantage to them for some texture

The drawer pulls open easily with the addition ob a little knob and as you can see it's quite roomy inside. I didn't follow a tutorial this time as I didn't want to get sucked into the web and be there for hours distracted lol, so I just kind of made it up as I went along and actually that was pretty fun.

I've coloured Tilda in Distress inks (don't worry I will still be using my beloved Copics, I'm just having fun practising with the distress ink colouring at the moment, so you'll probably see quite a few coloured with this medium for a bit). I used Tattered Rose and Vintage Photo for the skin, Antique linen and Walnut for the hair and Weathered Wood and Victorian Velvet for her clothes and material.

Here's a view of the underside, I used 4 more of those little knobs as feet, gluing them on with a hot glue gun this time as the screws would have interfered with the drawer opening.

Well that's my inspiration for this week's challenge, I hope you like it.
