My latest videos!

I don't know if anybody even visits this little corner of the internet anymore, but I thought that I would update anybody reading this with my latest videos!

I've made two new Make Thrift Buy's:

Two new Style Pile videos:

And a video on thrifting tips and tricks featuring my beautiful Mum!

And as always, if you want to keep updated on my life/see my outfits/makeup etc, you can follow me on instagram @littlepineneedle or snapchat at annikavictoriah or Patreon, because with everything else going on, it's much more easy for me to update those than it is to update this blog (sorry long-time blog readers, if you're still out there!)

As always, much love,

Removing and Replacing Buttons to Resize a Skirt | The Style Pile #5

Essentially, this is a video on how to sew buttons. But it’s ALSO a video showing you how you can make something fit you better just by moving where the buttons sit! Simple fixes can dramatically change an item of clothing! I'm so so so happy that I was able to give this skirt a new life, because it's one of my favourites!!

Watch the video below:

Have a lovely day,

The Style Pile Episode #4

Helloooo! So this top was a fairly new addition to the unfinished sewing pile. I got this secondhand at a markets the other day knowing full well that I am NOT a size AU8. Not by a long shot. But I really liked the style and colour sooooo I bought it anyway. Once I brought it home I thought that I may as well try it on and well.... You'll see what happened with that brilliant idea. Anyway, I put my sewing cap on and tried to upsize it! I also tried to include heaps of good/useful tips on sewing stretch fabrics in this video, which I hope are useful! Enjoy!

How To Add Pockets To Anything! | Style Pile #3

Because women's clothing really suffers from a lack of pockets, I wanted to fix that situation! In this video I add pockets to a dress to make it 100x more useful (and cuter!)

Enjoy :)

All the best,

THE STYLE PILE - a new series!

I have this box, sitting in my craft room, that’s filled with half-finished projects and clothes that I thrifted, AGES ago, with the intention of fixing and doing something cute with them, but have ended up ignoring by throwing them in this box to never think about them again. And it’s turning into a bit of a problem.

This inspired a new youtube series.

In each episode of this new series I’m going to randomly grab an item out of this box and finally fix it, until the box is empty. This series is mostly going to be focused on simple fixes, so they’ll be pretty short little videos, but hopefully they will help teach you some simple sewing techniques and cover more of the basics, and at the same time help you to make your clothes cuter/better! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new series - I’m really excited about it!
