Did You Know? Almost every morning, when I get dressed, I head to my pin display board and select what badges I'm in the mood for that day. This time round it was "Spark of Creativity", Calcifer barely hanging on to a log, and another favourite of mine, "All Oopsies, No Daisies". I have wayyy to many pin badges and the amount keeps climbing! Do you collect anything?

Those feels when your sewing supplies and your project material matches!

I love my pin cushions. This one was made for me by Diana, who has made some fantastic zombie/horror/macabre things over the years. This one is still going strong and is oddly satisfying to stab i to 🧟‍♀️📍🪡

MADE IT MONDAY: Sarah made pants! Sarah came in wanting to make a dupe of a pair of nice flowy wide-leg pants that she had. We went to work, drafting a paper pattern from the existing garment, learning about grain lines, seam allowances and correct placement. She had a lovely duvet cover with a pretty bird pattern she wanted to repurpose, so she proceeded to cut out her pattern, then sew and finish her pants. Well done Sarah! She has already started on her next project: two cute dresses with matching jackets for her grand daughters 😍

Last week, we went back to our costume roots, whipping up a last minute Book Week costume for Nicky's girl, who wanted to be Tinkerbell. Thanks to my huge fabric horde, a copious amount of a variety of green fabrics were sourced and the fun began. Drafted a tank dress pattern on the fly (pardon the pun 🧚‍♂️), dreamed up a pixie skirt overlay, even found a few pearl beads to add to the end of each skirt point, giving it an even more fabulous flair. Not bad for a couple of hours work the day before Book Week parade 😁💚✨️

Just a little something I worked on between clients
Love our community, and collaborating with people!

Thanks for the recommendation Bertie Dreseler

A big thank you to Kate Billinghurst from Christie Downs Community House for the wonderful work creating our new table number bags for The Flour Store! 🙌

We absolutely love how they turned out and think our community will love them too. It’s always great to support and work with talented people in our local community. ❤️

Throwback to that time I did myself a mischief. The needle decided I was material, not meat. Oopsie! 1/5, do NOT recommend.

What's on the planner for today? Dog coats! Using a "Lily Longnose" sewing pattern, we're going to make a mock-up coat for a beautiful pooch to try on before committing to the final material next week. Hopefully my client wants to share a pic of her perfect pup wearing their gorgeous new coat on completion. Stay tuned!
