http://ernestflagg.blogspot.com/2015/01/simplicity-1366-cheap-whales.html
Friday, 2 January 2015. Simplicity 1366 - cheap whales. Happy new year - it's another simplicity 1366! My others are here. I really like the style of this pattern and how easily it comes together. I got this whale fabric at darn cheap fabrics. At a blogger meet up in melbourne just before christmas. i had seen the white colour way. In the dcf online shop previously and although i kind of liked it i couldn't imagine what i would make with it. I originally planned to add binding to the neckline and sleeve ...

Thursday, 4 December 2014. My personal fabric buyer lara. Has certainly come through with the goods recently! After seeing a great linen printed with pineapples on darn cheap fabrics. Instagram feed my personal shopper was kind enough to pick me up 1.2m. My first thoughts were it would make a great skirt. i love the megan nielsen kelly skirt. Which i made here. Last summer. so i thought a midi kelly would work for the fabric. The weather of late in sydney has been quite tropical, hot days and late storms...

Sunday, 24 May 2015. It's all about the fabric - pitt trading double knit (cynthia rowley simplicity 2054). In my sewing i often seem to sew a lot of one type of garment for a while before swapping to another garment type. at the moment its dresses, and more particularly the knit dress. The fabric is a double knit from pitt trading. The bright colours are perfect to brighten up dull winter days. As i only have one rtw work jacket and a whole bunch of cardys. While i do love this pattern i am keen to try ...

Sunday, 18 January 2015. Scout pops and boo. I saw this new season spring 2015 liberty called pops and boo. S instagram feed recently and decided there and then that i really wanted some. i quite like the colours and design, but am wondering if i am drawn to it because it reminds me of my kids drawings? Given the busy pattern i thought a grainline scout. Would work well. i've made a few scouts previously, but have only blogged one of them. See below for discussion on using contrasting bias binding. Seaso...

Adventures in sewing and fashion. Miss Maddy Sews a Thing or Two – Part III. August 16, 2015. August 16, 2015. Finally, we’ve reached the last and, what I believe is, the most impressive of my summer makes: a strapless, sweetheart 50s-prom-dress-inspired ball gown! I have to say, out of everything I’ve made so far, this dress is the one that most feeds the desire residing deep in my souls to be a Disney princess. When I saw this fabric online at Darn Cheap. Just maths, right? YES I’m also pretty pl...

The Diverse Creative Exploits of a Small Soprano. June 5, 2016. Something Fishy About Them Florals. It should be a familiar story at this point. I see a garment online/in a store/on Man Repeller. It’s beautiful. I want to be the sort of person who wears whatever that is. But HOLY FUDGING SKIT-BALLS BATMAN IS THAT THE PRICE? NOPE Cannot afford. Nooooooo. This time, the garment in question was a little sun-dress. Maybe it’s the fact that they were wearing white Converses and I too (I know, surprising!
