What have you been making lately? ✨

I'd love some inspiration! I've just finished a bunch of refashions (video coming soon 👀) and have been sewing cosmetic bags from my stash using an amazing pattern by Rosie Caldwell.

With all the zips and lace I have on hand, I'm tempted to make a few more for future gifts... although a new quilting project is calling my name too!

Maybe I'll do both. 😄

What are you creating right now? I’d love to know!

I’ve been seeing a lot of designer fabric collaborations lately — like Liberty doing those Adidas collections — and it got me thinking… I wonder what would happen if I took something like that idea and just made it for myself.
I used a ‪@babylonleather‬ DIY bag kit and my favourite liberty fabric and made the absolute cutest bag ever! I’m in LOVE!

I shared a video of the process if you want to check it out ❤️👜

Many of you asked about the fabric destash market that I went to last year. The next one is on tomorrow in Perth, WA! Despite having more fabric than I have space for, I am still going, because we all need more fabric in our lives 😂😂😂 perhaps I’ll see some of you there!

MY FIRST EVER longform crochet video is live! This has been in my mind and then in the works for such a long time. It’s the video that I wish I watched before making my first crochet cardigan (as someone who doesn’t really enjoy following patterns!).
If you’ve got random/scrap yarn in your stash, perhaps you should try making a one for yourself or someone you care about!

😊

Merry Christmas, lovely sewing and crafty friends 🎄✨
I hope your day is full of good food, cosy moments, and a little creative joy.
All I want for Christmas is…
🎁 uninterrupted sewing time
(no unpicking, no lost bobbins, and definitely no “Mum, can you help me?” for at least an hour 😅)
Thank you for being here, cheering me on, and sharing this creative space with me this year.
Wishing you a safe, happy New Year filled with fabric you love and projects that actually get finished 🧵❤️

I've been sewing up a bit of a storm recently making Xmas gifts using up fabric from my stash to make some more room - it's a never-ending quest, but I changed my strategy and REALLY made a dent this time! bulky fabric be GONE!

Does anyone else like to make gifts from their fabric stash?

I finally tackled my growing pile of fabric scraps… and it turned into something I didn’t expect – a new scrap weaving project! 🧵✨
In my latest video, I take you through how I process and organise my scraps, and along the way I show you the first steps of weaving with the tiniest pieces.
If you’ve got scraps of your own to sort through (or even just feel like a calm sewing session in the background), this is the perfect video to keep you company. Let’s tackle our fabric stashes together 🌿💛

I’m finally back in my sewing space after a brief trip away, and I’ve started working on two projects – a new dress (to make another small dent in my fabric stash) and enlarging my scrappy log cabin quilt top.
Which one would you most like to see a video on next? 🪡

We had another cold and rainy week here in Aus recently so I decided to sew a happy patchwork dress for my youngest daughter - it’s reversible which is so cool!
Grab a cuppa and get comfy for a cosy sewing vlog with the cutest squeal at the end 🥰

🌼 AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY TOWN GEM 🌼

If you’re ever looking for a charming day trip from Perth, I *highly* recommend a visit to the historic town of York — and while you’re there, make sure you pop into ‘Mrs Sticky Beaks’, a delightful bric-a-brac shop full of vintage treasures and antique finds. Here’s a few pics of what I got from her shop 🥰

This gorgeous little shop is run by the lovely Pauline, who was an absolute joy to chat with. She kindly shared stories behind some of the pieces in her collection — you can really tell how much love and care goes into curating her store.

Pauline doesn’t promote her shop online, so I promised I’d help spread the word. If you love a good rummage through unique vintage bits and pieces (and want to support a local small business), be sure to stop by **Mrs Sticky Beaks** next time you're in York!

📍Mrs Sticky Beaks, York WA
🛍️ Antiques • Vintage Finds • Curiosities
💛 Tell Pauline I sent you!
