elisabeth and her apron

Friday, January 30th, 2009


Some people may be familiar with this print as I made a skirt from it a few years ago. It’s a vintage Sheridan cotton fabric called Sunrise. It’s vibrant and happy, and I thought it would be great for an apron. It’s being modelled by the lovely elisabeth, who was the perfect Christmas present!

(Ja, it will be for sale when I finally set up shop… maybe in a matter of weeks!)

the season of the slackerly

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

It’s mostly been a slack Summer season but that applies more to posting than to making. Many of the sewn have been gifted before being photographed but there are a couple that can be shown off. 

Here’s a set of cushions that I made for my brother and his wife as a housewarming gift. Not the classiest of photos but I was doing the finishing touches en route on the train! (typically last-minute) Thank you CityRail for such an attractive backdrop.

I’m a bit of a fabric hoarder, and a decent proportion of my collection includes vintage kimono fabrics, and here some of them feature as panels in these cushions. I find I’m always thinking of panels when it comes to kimono fabrics. 

More to come shortly…
