Belated Stitches and Craft post.

I should probably have posted this about a week ago but it slipped my mind. I went to the Stitches and Crafts fair in Sydney about two weekends ago and took Mum along with me. We had a really good day. Mum bought a daylight lamp, some fabric, ribbons, embroidery kit and more. I didn't spend quite as much but bought some ribbons and trims plus these gorgeous pieces of fabric with the cutest faces printed on them. They are part of the Sweetie Petites range from Lisa Tilse - http://www.theredthread.com.au.

There is a post on her blog about her stall at the fair. So cute! What will I make with these?

The Wardrobe Refashion and Tessuti fabrics fashion parades were great. Got to do a bit of internet celebrity spotting when Nichola from Wardrobe Refashion was handing out postcards. I was too shy to say hi but she did compliment me on my bag (which was from littleoddforest.com) and I thanked her. Does this count as name-dropping? Sorry. :)

There was a nice mix of crafts and ideas for crafters of all ages and interests I felt. Well worth a trip out to Rosehill!

T-shirt Reconstruction

Inspired by a craftster.org post today, I went about reconstructing an old Threadless t-shirt by changing the neckline, adding binding around neck, bottom hem, sleeves and creating a keyhole at the back. I didn't quite finish off the keyhole as neatly as I hoped but it was pretty easy and straightforward. Good fun... and it took my mind off the noise of the jackhammer removing the old tiles from our leaky old ensuite this morning.



Thanks to Addie Marie on Crafster.org for her inspiration.


And here's a peek at our ensuite repair/renovation.


Stay tuned for the "after" I suppose.
