Today's madeit.com.au homepage featured 'Dresses for your Little Princess' and one of my summer dresses was right up there amongst those handpicked for the feature: How cool is that? But not all little princesses like dresses. And sometimes dresses aren't practical. So, I've shortened the length and made a very cute and totally practical top: … Continue reading Dresses and tops for little princesses
Photo shoot in the canola crop
I took Elsie and Maeve into our canola crop for a 'photo shoot' wearing their new summer dresses. I thought it would be very magazine-like. I've read about large apertures and slow shutter speeds and greater depths of field, all that sort of thing, but to be honest, it doesn't matter how many times I … Continue reading Photo shoot in the canola crop

Summer dress anyone?
It's getting to be an obsession really. I'm going to admit (sadly) that I suffer an anxiety that I can only descibe as withdrawal symptoms if I'm not sewing something. That is sad, isn't it?

I am very tempted to make only sizes 1 or 3, so that if they don't sell, Elsie and … Continue reading Summer dresses for spring weather
Striped pants – too cool for school
I made these for my nephew for his birthday, but Elsie loved them so much I let her keep them. And we've had so many comments every time she wears them, that I've added them to my shop! Perfect for keeping the sun off on a hot day or comfy and fun for a cool … Continue reading Striped pants – too cool for school

Get some jersey pants made and get them into the shop. Stay tuned. … Continue reading Jersey pants
And Madeit agrees
Seems I'm not the only one who loves a splash of red. Delighted to discover my red jersey dress in a 'Splash of Red Finds' on http://www.madeit.com.au. How cool is that...
There’s something about red
I don't quite know what it is about red, but I love it. Maybe because it can't be ignored. Maybe it has particular physical or mental effects on us. Whatever it is, red shoes, red wagons, red handbags, red furniture, red appliances or red cushions—accents, I think I should be calling them—I say, bring it on... And with all … Continue reading There’s something about red
