Uni bags just for fun...


I made these as a result of being involved in the Gladstone Ecofest .
I have used vintage buttons and various other recycled embellishments to come up with the end result...These bags are great for a weekend picnic, lectures or filling up with books from the library...

"Kiss" Clasp Purse



I made this for a friend who gave me a supply of her Mum's old doillies and table cloths. There were so many with little intricate details and this seemed a match made in heaven.... This is officially the first purse that I have made with a metal frame... I am really happy with my end product and am feeling inspired to create more....

Screenprinting

I love screenprinting! Actually I love anything that changes the shape, texture and look of the surface I'm working with. I have screenprinted these using a hand cut stencil which adds a touch of personality to each piece.

These are some I have done recently, and I believe each deserves a name :-
"Princess Lili", "Bunny Blue Eye", and
the "Oriental Fish" all printed up to a child's size 12 and adults upon request.

It's a Wrap!!


Jill and I have been busy creating these little numbers. They are a combination of various fabrics with a black jersey turnover band. The front section of the skirt overlaps creating a wrap effect....
We keep getting asked if they come in adult sizes....Sure do and proving to be very popular.....

More summer linen


Another moment of inspiration with summer linen. I have created the seams back to front and overstitched for effect. Tie sleeves and finished of with navy gingham binding has created a timeless look.

Lovely Summer Linen


Ali Bird

I loved creating this lovely summer dress. Made with a lightweight summer linen and finished with reused doilies for the sleeves. I have finished it of with a doilie flower badge. The centre button was cut from an old jacket...My gorgeous daughter Lili is the stunning model for this photo.... I will be making a dress for myself in the near future.
