W

Another sewing project made from my favourite Japanese book, 'Stylish Dress Book'. Although it's called a dress book, there's quite a few tops and tunics included. This one is style 'W' and I have made it without the sleeves. So incredibly quick to make and a lovely fit. I've used my new binding tape maker to create self binding. Fabric was a gift from my friend Maria (bought in Melbourne). 

Peace Love Joy

Originally this was going to be the cover of a craft magazine. But it didn't eventuate. So, now I'm thinking craft panels and tea towels. Or I might even put it in repeat and do yardage.

to the gong

There's a new art and craft market in Wollongong next weekend and my work will be on display for sale. There will be cushions, tea towels, kokeshi dolls, matryoshka dolls and some owls. And if you are quick, you might even pick up this bunting. My very first attempt using hand printed fabrics and bias tape. I think I can see some more bunting making in my future. A few metres strung around the back deck will be perfect for summer parties.
