T Towel Up-cycle Sewing Day

Hi Everybody,
Lovely Melbourne weather drawers us inside today as its cold and fairly miserable outside, and off to my sewing room for a spot of sewing.
 Mr FV&C picked up a stack of T Towels from a garage sale a couple of weeks ago to add to my already large collection,so I knew it was time to make something a bit different .

Ingrid dresses up

Hi everyone,
Clothes have always been a major love of mine.
Way back in the eighties I studied fashion design and worked in the industry an many and varied positions. I'm not really that keen on having my photo taken so when I find the perfect model who is quite happy to try on vintage clothes AND have there photo taken I let it rip.

                            The Beautiful watermelon silk 1950s ball dress

The Powder Blue Prom dress Came in its original box  beautifully wrapped with a Tiara ,a lavender sachet and a note saying to my princess with love. I have had her for many years and I know that she is waiting for just the right girl

Recycle,Up cycle, Just making things.

Hi Everyone,
I was going through my old stock and deciding what was going to the opp shop and I came across a couple of things that were nice fabric or unusual details and I felt that they could have another Life in Miss Graces wardrobe.

Before , Ladies top nice cotton great design detail.

Miss Grace in her new Play dress

Doyley details added to a hand me down .  

A skirt from a  Ladies top and an old skirt

Pretty skirt and top from old Ladies Jumper

So now these are Firm favourites in Miss Graces wardrobe !
 Think before you donate your old clothes what can you make out of them ?
But If you can't think of anything donate to a worthy cause !
Cheers Lyn

Memory Jars

Hi  Everyone,
 Inspiration sometimes comes at the most difficult times,particularly when your hell bent on doing something useful or constructive.

Mr FV&C and I are working really hard to clean out our house ,shed and surrounds to try and live like normal people. (like no  stock and unfinished projects everywhere) So as I'm going through stuff ;I kept finding things that were totally useless but for some reason I could not throw away, they sort of had a voice.

So I started writing Little Stories in jars

Hope you like

Cheers Lyn
