A time for reflection...

With another day of markets coming up (tomorrow, for those who can make it!), I felt like looking back at my marketeering progress over the past 3 years...

2008 - started small... 2009 - a focus on tropical prints

2009 - at Horn Island 2010 - expanding! note my lovely, shiny new clothes rack!

And what will 2011 bring? here's a peek at what to expect for tomorrow...

I've been busy making these lovely vintage fabric blouses and shirt-dresses. For those who can't make it to the markets, have a look at my etsy or madeit stores...

Also available at tomorrows PKA Mini Market (TI) at my stall is the beautiful, natural, handmade hemp fibre Jewelry by the talented Cass Gordon!

Big Girls Blouse...

As requested, I have been spending the past week or so creating shirt styles for my Lady customers. Along with this lovely relaxed fit, tie waist blouse are several variations on my basic shirt dress pattern, all in softly ladylike vintage florals...

And this is just the beginning, as the shirtdress is such a versatile style to mix and personalise, expect to see a lot more of them coming out of my studio door!

In other news...

It would seem that I am on the verge of facilitating a series of sewing classes on Thursday Island, so keep your eyes on the notices around town, and come by my stall on Saturday March 12 for more details!

For those unable to drop by due to my remote location, keep an eye on this blog as I'll be posting all sewing tutorial projects for you to follow along at home! All I ask is that I get to see piccies of your results...
