Vintage fabrics gathering in readiness

For the day they become super funky and fly boys' wear.



These are all on the cards for summer short shorts, so itll be a long wait yet!




The burnt orange is set to become double layered warm patchwork tees, and the brown and yellow are for more short shorts. Summer is all about legs baby!




Vintage nylon/elastane for some retro bathers and some gorgeous new chocolate check for winter jackets and pants.
Can't wait to go proper fabric shopping and get all the meterage I'll need for the upcoming Mathilda's markets. Getting closer now!
Ooh, that reminds me, we'll be having a sale online soon to clear out room for new season, so watch this space for further info!

Inspiration pictures: what's fueling the fire right now

My pin board above is slowly being taken over by 70's funk. Yeah. Some more finds in random places that are slowly building up a picture or where we're heading next season. Gotta get the vibe going before I can really know what I'm designing.














Typography seems to be coming to the fore too, a lot of hand drawn letters around and bold use of classic fonts with an update rather than wacky fonts.


Old worn leather, with colour like waxed, weathered wood. Burnt orange and umber, sienna and bold yellow. While slick slate gray, black and powder soft blue temper the wild bursts of citrus.




















Homely stitching and macrame monogrammed matching chenille.


Cute hep cats in stripey skivvies.

What's inspiring you lately?

Mathilda's market stall mark 1

Ok so these are only iPhone pics, but I'm yet to get the good ones off the big puter.
This was our stall at Mathilda's in Adelaide over the weekend. Some gorgeous vintage suitcases and books to help merchandise our wares, and some last minute signage. Needless to say we now know what we're up against and have big plans for the Caulfield market day. And don't have to fit it all in our luggage!
We had some lovely feedback about our stall, so thanks again to everyone who came, we can't wait to do it again!

Porkie pie mark2

Very happy with how the pork pie hat has turned out. Soooo fracking cute! I think I need to tweak the pattern a little more so the seam on the top shapes it better & so less blocking is required. But otherwise it's pretty sweet.

BUT
I think for the time involved and the price I need to charge to cover my costs it ends up much more expensive than similar hats being sold by larger retailers. So not viable at this stage. Ah well, maybe in the future.
