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!

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.

New 'skipper' hat shape- meh?

Although very cute, I'm just not feeling the love for this hat. It's only in sampling fabric, but I just seem to feel meh about it.
Maybe it needs to be a fraction larger and the crown a little rounder?
What do you think?

Swim cap delight

So we popped into the op shop today and Kingston picked out this cutey patootie swim cap. Great for the dress up box. He wanted to wear it right away of course, and then kept it on for about 3hrs. He makes me laugh!

Oh yeah. The boy is made to model. I still can't quite believe that he's fitting size 2 already at just 20mo. But his legs keep growing! Well what did I expect if his dad is 6'2"?

And an elephant that apparently flies through the air making plane noises. :P

And he loves his bike.
Doesn't he look like a vintage knitting cover? Needs another haircut too, I hope less tears this time.
