Bye Bye Bourbon And Bras!

You may or may not know, but Bourbon and Bras is actually about six years old by now. 

Did I mention bloopers? I got bloopers.

I know, SIX?! Set up in 2011, I initially used it to document what was going on in my life whilst I was at university studying fashion design. I had an unhealthy interest in lingerie and was planning on being a lingerie designer/maker once I finished university. 

Of course, I never finished university and my dreams of making lingerie for a living died once I realised I couldn't make a bra. So Bourbon and Bras became my sewing blog, and later sewing, style and the odd bit of lifestyle and travel posts.

But to be honest with you? I haven't felt like Bourbon and Bras was a good fit for me and the blog for a long time. I've been toying with the idea of renaming my blog for roughly three years, but either I couldn't decide on a name or it was the wrong time or any number of excuses.

So I took a plunge, bought myself a domain and spent the last few months manually migrating EVERY. BLOODY. POST. to Wordpress. Which means I'm moving on up in the world... or at least to my new site;

Not much will change, other than you'll stop seeing posts under Bourbon and Bras, and instead will see them on MelodyMae.co.uk! I'll still be rather crap at updating regularly, I'll still swear through posts and I'll still try and create interesting content you might like.

So, my darlings, thank you for following me on this blog journey so far, and I really hope you'll follow me over at MelodyMae.co.uk for more ridiculousness. Remember you can follow the new blog on Bloglovin, see my daily antics on Instagram and check what I'm into on Pinterest. There's the Facebook too, of course! And head over to the new blog to say hi!

Goodbye Bourbon and Bras, it's been swell! xxx

ABOUT

Hello & Welcome!
I'm Melody, (not my real name - THE SCANDAL!) a 25-year-old from London in good ole' Blighty.

I'm a sewing enthusiast with a vintage-modern style, and I like flared skirts, hard-to-walk-in heels, impossible pin curl sets, bourbon, the word 'knickers' and ridiculously uptight colour matching.

And no, it's not funny to ask if this is my natural hair colour.

Bourbon & Bras was originally to document my time at university - where I was studying fashion with an interest in lingerie design. I liked bras and my blood was practically half Jack Daniels (no student stereotyping here, no sir-ee!), which explains the title. That didn't work out so well, since I left studying, and it turns out I'm bloody useless at making bras - funny that!

The V.2 of Bourbon & Bras was my attempt at getting better at sewing, which quickly became my main hobby, and introduced me to the wonderful Sewing Blogiverse.

Skip forward a bit and here we are. V.3 of Bourbon & Bras and this little corner of the internet is a place to document my sewing, my style and stuff I like.
