Whew!!! Finally a sewing blog update! I've been busy this week finishing of bits and pieces in my started and not completed basket. Really happy with my 2 doona cot covers, might tackle a single bed one next. Looking forward to my next market on August 18 in Upwey.

I've been sewing some bits and pieces for myself too. Upcycling some pieces from the oppy, adding doilies and embroidery to pretty them up. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

6 months till Christmas, time to start booking in to the chrissie markets and getting my fingers working :)

Happy winter x

9 pretty skirts hanging in a row

I finally knuckled down and made the 9 t-shirts I had been planning on making for weeks now, I'm most happy with them. The pictures I snapped today aren't great but you get an idea of how lovely they are. Bright colours, vintage dollies appliques, thrifted doily's and vintage buttons make these t-shirts unique & special.

I also finished 9 skirts last week each decorated with lace and a variety of doily pockets, crochet or dolly appliques. Many various sizes and pretty fabrics.

I am not sure if I will list them in my madeit store or save them exclusively for my upcoming market stall. I will definitely need to take some better photos before I can list them.

Searching....not finding...but certainly liking..

these are my inspiration

I just can't seem to find the perfect dress, no amount of trawling my fav blogs & gorgeous etsy stores, vintage sites & even brand new attire. Looks like I'll be drawing inspiration from all the lovelyness swimming around in my head & constructing my own peachy little number! I'm excited....and also glad I have a few months :)

First & favourite customer

Zoe my first customer

How gorgeous to see this pic pop up on my besties blog, and even lovelier to see beautiful Zoe wearing her doily delight skirt. Yay for little girls ♥

I made this apron last night, quite like it for myself :) I've found so many quality doily's of late, I can't wait to show you more doily delights.
