Bench Monday #2

My work bench at this fab place.  Wearing my new $2 Italian leather shoes found at the op shop last week.  My toes are a little sore tonight though :(
Thanks to the lovely Mel for taking the shot.

Brisbane Stitches and Craft

Could someone please tell me where the past month has gone?  This week i'm preparing myself for the Stitches and Craft Show in Brisbane.  I don't particularly have all that much to organise but i would like to sew something new to wear.  This is cut out and has been since the Melbourne show, i have some delicious organic denim to make these and i need to fix a bust zip in my green Kasia skirt (don't ask).  I would also like to get at least one refashioned outfit made up for the fashion show.  I'm not expecting to get all of the above done but at least one would be nice!  I just need to get off the computer and onto the sewing machine, i must admit though i have been working hard on improving Wardrobe Refashion.  I've come up with a new way of organising pledge sign ups that should (fingers crossed) make my life a hell of a lot easier.  If you'd like to sign up just pop on over to the blog and fill out the form.  I must thank Kirsty for helping me out, she's a star!

I pulled out my suitcase yesterday and left it open on the floor of my sewing room so i can just throw things i need to take in there as i find them.  It seems someone is planning on coming with me!

Alice

I received my limited edition Alice in Wonderland badges last week from Justine.

If you're quick you may still have a chance of grabbing your own set from here!

Part of....

...this book.

I have a cute little project inside this book.  Baby knickers!  There's heaps of lovely projects from different  crafty Aussies inside there too.  You should definitely check it out :)

Scrappy scarf

 This one won't keep me warm but it is pretty ;)

Bought as a pack from Amitie at the Stitches & Craft Show.

Kasia take 2

Thanks for all your lovely comments about my Heidi dress.  It's my favourite dress pattern at the moment and i would like to make another although i have so many other things to make that i'm not sure when i will get around to it.

My favourite skirt pattern right now is the Kasia skirt from BurdaStyle, designed by Kasia.  I have a denim version (which is now on it's way to Brisbane for the Stitches & Craft Show) and now i have this green version made with fabric from Tessuti and some nice big wooden buttons i scored at the op shop a while back.  It makes me want to wiggle when i walk!

Heidi & Vincent, a perfect match

Pattern: Heidi from BurdaStyle
Fabric:Vincent from Tessuti

Oh i LOVE it!  Missoni wool knit fabric kindly sent to me by Colette from Tessuti Fabrics.  Did you hear the news?  There's a new store opening here in Melbourne, oh yes!  How excited am i?

What do you think of my new banner?
