One day...

My extended 'maternity' break continues. One day I'll be back in the sewing machine saddle! Keen for some Esty action but in the mean time check out the Piha Craft Exchange...

2 x cute

Rita and Sina looking so cute in their summer dresses.

Happy new year to everyone. 

Wishing you all the best for 2009.

Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

My first attempt at a giraffe.
Poor thing.

B-line for an A-line

I recently made 4 of these classic a-line dresses for a market and they were snapped up in double quick time. The fabric is from a fabulous vintage tablecloth and, yes, I definitely had pangs of guilt as I got to work with my scissors; somewhere in the ether the VTG (vintage textile goddess) was tut-tutting.

Summer Tops

Three wee summer tops.

The first has a Cath Kidston vibe and features a gingham rosette.

The linen fabric used for the middle one was rescued from a 

bag (circa 70's?).

The third top has a retro Scandinavian look. 

AWOL

Invisible Undie Man will be missed. 

Ian - I'll make one for you soon. 

Pinny + Hooha

Here are Pinny and Hooha. 

Sadly they have now left the building. 

More coming soon.
