LEATHERWORKED: I MADE SHOES!

Sunday 22 November 2015

I tried to come up with a witty project title, I really did. But seriously... I MADE SHOES!


Real shoes.


Out of leather.


SEWN: DAISIES FOR KAREL

Thursday 19 November 2015

This is a special dress.


A dress as a tribute. A tribute to my father-in-law, Karel, who passed away suddenly and tragically a few weeks ago. This is not a sad post. This dress was made to attend a celebration of his life.


Karel got such a kick out of my me-mades. Always drawing attention to my makes when we were out and about together.


SEWN: NO-BOW MARIMEKKO

Tuesday 10 November 2015

If I could surround myself with Marimekko for the rest of my life, I'd be pretty happy.


Marimekko embodies so much of what I love. Scandinavian design, a vintage sensibility, bright clear colours, and "look at me" prints that just scream happy!

What's not to love?


These bold large prints are perfect for loose fitting garments cut simply to allow the fabric to truly be the star. I particularly love a trapeze shape for this type of fabric and I knew from the moment it was purchased that I'd be making it up thus.
