THIS WEEK: WEEKS APRIL 23rd - MAY 6

















1-4: Prep for tea staining my dress fabric (which is still a work in progress as I am experimenting heaps. and by heaps i mean failing to get the print that I want, and so have gone through an entire box of green tea :( )
5: Some new fabric that I bought the other week from all of these little local fabric shops in Footscray and the velvet from Lincraft. I was really in the mood for making a checkered skirt (as I hinted in my previous post) maybe after all of my work is due I will get to make something. I also threw the red double crushed velvet in there because I could not resist it)
6-7: Unfinished floral drawings, I leave a lot of things unfinished.
8-13: An old circa 1990's Vogue Patterns book that I picked up from Savers for around 8-9 dollars, something about that price range. These are the books that you rummage through in fabric stores and then you go to the counter and request the patterns you want, the patterns don't come with the book of course but I sincerely love the illustrations and it is just a beautiful reference to have, i think at least!
14-15: Lucky me finding these gem old Vogue, Simplicity, New Look and Butterick Patterns from Savers for about $1-2 each. Perfect and simple, since I am too lazy to grade my size 10 blocks.
16: My new clam shell dish that I am absolutely obsessed with also from Savers (okay I had a big two weeks of knick knacks at Savers, sue me) and a darling little white ceramic bird candle holder, also from Savers. I think it was $2 as well.
17: The latest Australian Vogue with Joan Smalls on the cover.
