Welly Craft Markets - coming soon

I'm busy preparing lots of exciting new free range wears for Craft 2.0 , the fantastic indie craft show that takes over the New Dowse in Lower Hutt every once in a while. This is happening again on the 19th of July, so if you are in the Wellington area come check it out.

A little further down the track is my favourite local crafty event, Knack08. Not on the scale of craft2.0, but heaps of fun and you get a peak inside the wonderful community the operates around the Berhampore School. Next Knack 2nd of August @ Berahampore School, 105 Britomart Street (off Adelaide Road).

Spring time coats

Bring on spring time! It's been pretty hard to contemplate warmer weather while in the depth of an especially bitter Welly winter, but I'm starting to mix in some spring weight coats with the quilted variety. Here's hoping we might be able to do away with a few layers some time in the not too distant future.

This is my favourite new coat. All the spring coats are fully reversible, and come in plain, hooded or collared varieties.

Available in sizes 6, 12, 18months

construction of a farm yard coat

I spent the day cutting out a big new batch of coats. This is my favourite. Another Palmy Op. shop treasure is being turned into a quilted coat. I adore this print, orange, brown, animals and retro, what better combination could there be? Perhaps the african themed fabric I have in the same style.

This was my second attempt at quilting fabric, although I have now realised that I need to quilt the fabric after I cut out the pieces and insure that the batting is smaller than the outer fabric. Otherwise I end up with seams so thick that the poor little person inside the coat would be stuck like a statue, unable to move. It's going to be a case lots of unpicking and re quilting, oh well, all will be nutted out come #3!

Gorgeous vintage buttons too!

I love doing custom orders, and it's even more fun making things when it's for a friend... Like these little numbers that flew off to Aussie on the weekend.
