Well, it kinda is. It’s out there at least. We’re using WordPress, and I am not used to it so it’s not as aesthetically pleasing as I would wish, but we can work on that one. Come and visit us, stay for a bit, join in! We also have a Flickr group, so pop over and see what we’ve been up to xoxo

Thank you for the comments from my last post guys – you bloggers are so forgiving to someone so slack at posting! Anyhoo, so far I have managed to post twice in a week – where will this lead I hear you cry? Daily blogging? Steady! That holy grail is far away!
Back to the purpose of the post – last time I mentioned Project Glamour, which in a very short time has now changed into “Frilly bits”.
Hannah and I had been nattering on more than one occasion about making some vintage inspired clothing, and in particular underwear. We’re both very inspired by vintage patterns, fabrics and styles and both wanted to introduce a little glamour into our lives (says I who is still sitting in PJ’s and a towelling dressing gown!). We then thought that it would be great to involve others to join in the fun. So, we have the domain name ready to set the website up, and there’s already a Flickr pool to share some of your pictures, inspiration, WIP’s and finished items. The idea will be that each month we will make something to wear from vintage patterns or inspired by vintage glamour. The first challenge will be French Knickers 
- I have dug out some black and olive green satin that I am going to make mine from – once I have the pattern worked out I will buy some nicer fabric.
Hannah and I would love more people to join in the fun – we may run some competitions at some point from looking at the pictures in the pool, with goody bags of patterns and fabric to the winners. Hannah is the sewing expert, and I’m not too bad, so between us we’ll be posting patterns, pictures and when the website is up and running, we’ll have a forum for people to discuss their ideas/ share any problems – you don’t have to be a sewing expert to join in as most of the projects can be as simple or as complex as you wish. It’s a great way of getting some lovely lingerie to fit you at a fraction of the cost it’d cost you in the shops.
We’d love it if you joined us, even if you don’t want to do each monthly challenge. So, if you fancy inviting some glamour into your lives then come in and join the fun! xoxo
