More of the Oppy Shoppy! Part 2






The top is a piece of fabric .. so bright and vibrant! The next 2 are table cloths folded in 4 ..  so you can see how the design goes all about ..  I love how soft these are! A stack of little crochet doily type things and some patterns!!

Now for the Oppy Shoppy part 1






Yes yes ..  I know . . I have been naughty .. but its my one day I get to do so every 2 weeks and being from the Op Shop the money spent is nothing really !! I picked up some gorgeous pillow cases which will become shorts/skirts and also some gorgeously soft table cloths!!

I managed to get 2 of most of the pillowcases luckily!!

God bless SL renovations part 2





And yes .. more ..  I cant believe just how much was on these rolls for $5 and its double sided knit as well ..  makes for funky hemlines!

God bless SL renovations part 1





Tables full of $5 rolls of fabric . . I withheld all week ..  until today! I just could NOT wait any more and I am kicking myself kinda as well. To think of all the bargains I missed out on considering I got some today and there was almost nothing left!! So here is what I picked up . . each being $5 ..  total bargain! The top 2 pictures are a cotton and cotton voile ..  the lower is a knit. 

So mummy and matilda are going to have a lot of matching summer PJ pants!!

Nappy making is NOT for me!




Its been a long time since I attempted a nappy but thought why not today ..  and lets just say ..  nappies really arent my thing!! I think I will stick to everything else and let others make them for me! Here is the nappy though! It has a funky cord ..  hidden PUL . .  suedecloth inner with bamboo snap ins . .

Autumn Apple's Temp Home!

Autumn Apple has itself a temporary home at the moment as a Facebook Group while I get to sewing and creating the new lines for the coming summer!

I uploaded a tonne of photos into the gallery of the many things I have made over time to give everyone an idea of what I can do.

Special Birthday Duds!!





A friends little man had his first birthday party yesterday and oh boy did he have a blast (bar a little accident with a pirate hat!). He devoured his cupcakes like a trooper and lapped up all the attention of course! I made up these 2 sets as his present as I know his mum had been eyeing off similar ones elsewhere and I know she loves him in red also!

The red set is made with a soft dark denim for the shorts with an aboriginal print cuff and co-ordinating tee with reverse applique patches.

The brown set is made with a fine brown pinwhale cord for the shorts with a puppy dog print cuff and a tee with reverse applique once more.

My first go at the reverse applique and I do love the effect as the edges curl!!
