A few summer ideas....

For summer dresses...

Straptrap – Ideal for those sleeveless strappy dresses the Straptrap secures bra straps to your garment so you don’t have to worry about VBS (visible bra strap).

To purchase yours (just £4.50 for 6 pairs) or to find out more please visit: www.straptrap.co.uk

For those light mornings...

Terry’s Fabrics - I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets woken 5am every morning in the summer by the bright sunshine.  Luckily I’ve discovered that Terry’s Fabrics have a great range of affordable readymade blackout linings and blinds.  Or if you’d prefer to make your own you can buy blackout fabric from them for just £5.99 a metre.

Visit www.terrysfabarics.co.uk and type ‘blackout’ into the search box on the top right.

For outdoor furniture...

Viva La Frida – Why not brighten up your outdoor furniture with some genuine Mexican oilcloth from Viva La Frida.  This hard wearing fabric is waterproof and stain resistant ideal for outdoor use.

Viva La Frida have a colourful range of floral designs that would look great in the garden.  The oilcloth is priced at £12.00 a metre.

To view their range please visit www.vivalafrida.co.uk

For your summer wardrobe...

Gone To Earth – Gone To Earth have a great range of patterns for summer clothing, I especially loves the ones by Make It Perfect which include summer dresses and skirts for girls, skirts and tops for women.  I love the pictured Kaftan pattern which costs £9.
