It's always handy to have a sketch book in your bag.

Sometimes your family pick you..

It's a little complex.. but my awesome ancient dutch 'aunt' has a style that's just unforgettable.

I like to make designs for iphone cases (these are all mine and can be purchased from society 6 or zazzle.com.au, just click the case you like).

Sometimes it's nice to remind yourself, every little thing you do, it all adds up.

Have you tried writing notes to yourself for a quick cheer-me-up or some much needed inspiration?

The late 90s

The 90s

The 90s
Blow up furniture, Spice girls, hologram glasses, boy bands, torn denim, sportswear, head kerchiefs, body glitter, smilies..
It was a fun decade.

What really defined the 90s for you? Did you own any blow up furniture? I had a couch and a.. photo frame *blush*.

BFF sleepover: Stories, Manicures and Movies

BFF sleepover: Stories, Manicures and Movies



We don't celebrate Halloween much here in Australia, but I know what I'd love to do this all hallow's eve.
Movies, manicures, best friends, ghost stories and PJs.
Might as well dress the part too.

This is close to my look today, except my retro metallic coat I dug out of the wardrobe looks like a mix of these two Burberrys and is single breasted.

Look at those heels, imagine them with a pointed peep toe-top.. Let's just say my feet looked like something out of a butcher's shop.

How did you learn to walk in high heels?

Boy's wardrobe inspiration board 3-4 yrs

Z's size 4 wardrobe idea board draft

A draft idea board for the cutest little blond boy.
Nice and simple, easy to sew (and knowing boys, patch).
Pairing 40s mens fabric with 70s styles and cuts.

Sew-far (ahh let the bad puns begin)  I've sewn two oversized turtle/cowl neck pullovers, one charcoal with a 'check trim' front pocket, the other an olive with a cream panel in the sleeve for interest.
They're a hit with the little one.

He's almost outgrown his 'man trousers', with high waist, silver buttons and front pleats which I made early this year.
Boys look so cute in trousers and I love the idea of using a tie for the back pocket, to take a little of daddy with him wherever he goes.

What would you love to dress your little one in?

When my mother was my hero

When my mother was my hero


This is what my mother used to wear while I was playing dress ups in her wardrobe.
Do you remember the fun of falling around the house in your mum's heels?
Using her skirt as a tent?


What did your mother used to wear?

'Cos it's 80s night and the feeling's right, oh yes it's 80s nite ohhh yeah!!!
