Twirly skirts!

This being Canberra, the wonderful Spring weather that Phoebe reported last weekend has disappeared and we've been plunged back into the depths of winter. Today, the thermometer has not hit 10 degrees, and we've had winds and intermittent rain! This might not be great picnic weather, but it is perfect weather for a spot of sewing!

In anticipation of the return to better weather soon, I've made some twirly skirts - the perfect Spring and Summer uniform for little girls!


The skirts are super comfy because they are made from 100% cotton with an elastic waistband. And the cute little pockets are perfect for storing toys, rocks, flowers or other essential little girl items!



These ones will be for sale at the upcoming Mathilda's Market where Mackenzie & Smith will be doing our first market stall. So, please come along on November 15 between 10 and 2 and say hi!!

Sewing on the weekend

We had another gorgeous, sunny weekend in Canberra- it has been very relaxing to potter away in the sewing room with the gentle breeze coming through...

It was a busy weekend for tote bags- the ones shown below have been made for Stella and Indiana to take to ballet classes.

I finished the weekend off with a set of bibs for a little boy who will look very sharp in coordinating green and brown (the m&s colours!).

The projects and ideas are stacked high, so I'm hoping that there will be plenty more weekend sewing to come...

Speaking of which, I can't wait to try more projects from my latest addition to my bookshelf - I had to get hold of it when I saw how it has inspired Sally!

Housing the Stash

I've been looking for months and months for the perfect way to store (and display) all of the lovely fabrics I have been collecting over the years.

This gorgeous cabinet and hutch has been a pleasure to fill up with all of my goodies... including my three handprinted matryoshka dolls that I bought back from the Stitches & Craft show.

It has transformed my sewing room into a place that I have happily spent all weekend in...

Exciting new product!

It is so much fun coming up with funky new designs! The latest is a baby picnic roll. It was designed by a mum who was sick of loose items floating around in her baby bag.

This roll contains 1 bib and 1 set of quality cutlery (fork and spoon), and rolls up neatly to stash in your baby bag for when you need to feed bub on the go.


The roll is designed to hold multiple bibs - you just clip or velcro them onto the tab in the roll.

This roll contains a pink striped set as shown, but we also have pale blue and black available. We are able to do the roll in a range of colours as well, please email us for more info.

And they are available for a limited time for $40.
