sneak peak

i thought i'd show you a sneak peak at what i've been working on. this range of kids & mums stuff (under the label of holi goddess) is all made from vintage, recycled & thrifted fabrics. i came across 4 metres of brand new linen in my favorite op shop & became quite fond of its earthy colour, it reminded me of our paper bark tree on the nature strip. so i sorted through my fabric collections to come up with a colour palette that resembled the tree. i have almost completed the range & will soon be available on made it & etsy.

BUT FOR NOW..................i must finish the dress makers fabric & get really crafty with lil snippets as this is fabric i used for a purse that is a feature item on MADE IT. so whilst i am a feature seller i must take advantage of all this good free advertising :)

a happy customer

my nephew matty was overwhelmed with the basket of cobbers. after much thought & seeing which one had the best cuddles he chose a black & brown one. i have been told his new mate cobber goes to bed with him & for rides in the car.x

midnight buttons

i was up til midnight last night sewing my nanas vintage buttons onto felt circles & clips. paul (the unsigned husband) said i should just glue them together & be done with it in half the time.

i kind of enjoyed the process of cutting & knotting my thread then hand stitching the pieces together. it reminded me of when nana would sit up late darning cobbers socks so that they would be ready for him in the morning. i do like going back to needle & thread, i have also ditched my overlocker to do the old fashioned zig zag hem. (reminds me of the clothes my mum would make for me as a lil girl)
these clips will be assigned their rightful colour code to match the collections of STUFF that i have been making for mama made that!
