Ooooh when we asked Shimelle Laine if she fancied coming to our Jubilee Street Party, we were chuffed she could make it - we knew she has some SERIOUS skills when it comes to paper play, scrapbooking and photography, but we didn't realise she was also more-than-pretty-nifty with a needle & thread - until now! Check out Shimelle's DIY Jubilee party dress tutorial. We love that she's recycled fabric from a previous dress-making attempt, plus a black T-shirt - and that she's added a cool collar - to create her blue, white & black creation. And of course, to complete the patriotic feel she's accessorised with a splash of red. We love it! Thanks for coming to our party Shimelle!
