Appy' Birthday Winehouse

My patchwork tribute to Amy Winehouse would not have been complete without her ever growing signature beehive, dark bold eyeliner, and lest we forget the tattoos.
 The patchwork magic was helped along by a large glass of Malibu & coke... or two. (I am sure Amy would approve). This time you will be pleased to know that there were no injuries. (only tears when beehive number one went wrong)
One thing that was impossible to translate into cloth was her astounding voice. (I will leave that bit to Amy). 
So here it is in all its glory: A dedication to a stunning singer-songwriter, a rare cockney bird with a big heart who was never far away from the public eye. Happy birthday Amy Winehouse, your legend lives on even in patchwork.




Inspiration for the patchwork was the dress worn by Amy at the Brit Awards:
