Toot . . toot . . chugga . . chugga


Another 2 for the shop! These size 4 pants are so cute and very funky and of course totally original!! The train was upcycled from a curtain I bought at the Salvos and then circus fabric I totally love and is a quilting fabric!

Dresses for the shop!




These darlings will be finding their way into the shop . . well . . except for the red as after getting it sewn up I decided I couldnt possibly part with it so it will be added to Matilda's winter collection . . but dont fear . . I do have more fabric!!

Stepping back in time . .




To the era of the flares! When bold colours were the it thing and nothing was a faux par!!

The brown/orange pair have been upcycled from a table cloth and the flower power pair is created from 2 different printed cords . .  the front has the orange and the back has the purple!

Oooh I'm a cheater!!


Well I will be as soon as these 120 crochet squares become a blanket!! Unfortunately they arent my own handiwork. My lovely little miss found these at a local Salvos for $5 . .  yes ..  an entire bag of wonderful!!

Mama Boast!



These lovely dudes are Matilda's latest creations . .  out of no where a few weeks back she started making her own little faces on circles of playdoh that I had cut out. I was very proud of her .  .  its a good step in the right direction!!

Charity Auction finishes tonight!




These 3 items were handmade by me for the Victorian Bushfire Charity Auction that ends tonight over at patchnappies.com . .  a totally worthwhile cause . .  I love the blue winter blossoms and I hope the little one that gets to wear will look adorable!!

Vintage Love!



This was today's creation from a devine little 50c pattern I managed to snaffle while on a recent trip. Its a size 4 so its a little big for the miss and I really do think the sleeves need an extra something ..  leaning more towards a bit of elastic to cinch them in a bit . . 

It went together pretty easy although the picot edging gave me some grief . .  a nice vintage touch though!

Princess of Punk!


This gorgeous little pinny is devinely pink with a hint of attitude!! Lined with soft white cotton poplin and will be finished off with double black snaps on each shoulder and a black bow also !

I will be listing it in my shop very soon!! Along with some other pinnys head this way soon!
