Thrifting

A rare picture of us together without the kids ?(they weren’t far away anyway lol) I bought those #thriftedshirts at @vinted, I was looking for a father’s day gift and I found that! Like new, ecological coton, so soft and loved the #momofwo and #dadoftwo prints? Fighting fast fashion is not only about to protect the environment, is also about human rights and at @slowfashionseason we are also working on our commitment to anti-racism work within the campaign because “we can’t have a sustainable fashion revolution until the industry is actively anti-racist”

Upcycled romper!

Today I am happy to share another upcycled romper! Right before holidays I’ve managed some time to upcycle a skirt that didn’t fit me, but I loved the print and the fabric. So I thought it was perfect for a baby romper.

I looked for a pattern at www.ohmotherminediy.com and find this one, really easy and comfortable for summer adventures.

The skirt has fabric enough to put all the parts of the pattern on it and easily cut them. I just needed an elastic band for the collar and fasteners and the upcycled outfit was done! It’s a light fabric perfect for summer,that I can upcycle again in a few years into a girl’s blouse!

I still have some off-cuts for other projects, just need to decide what I can do next! Maybe scrunchies and ribbons for the girls!

Nature photography

Well, I just wanted to share some macro snaps,nature photography is always that I love to practice and rarely share it here. I took these photos when we first went for a walk after the lockdown

I took them with my nikon d5200 and the 50mm lens, which I love even if I’m still learning how it works, better use it with a tripod because it’s a very luminous focal and it need to be stabilised. But I love how I can play with bokeh with this lens.
