Children's Wear and Markets




I am still busily making children's clothing with the aim of going to market with them. Not sure when this will be, but hopefully within the next 2 months. Summer is probably a better time for markets, but people do still go in winter, at least I do anyway. Speaking of which there is a design market on this Sunday at Federation Square I hope to go to - I will let you all know how this is after the weekend. I heard there is also going to be something on to do with Harry Sidler (Australian Architect) a tribute exhibition I think, so I hope to catch that too.
I must get on and make some more women's wear, I still hope to get this into some stores in Melbourne, so much to do! Here are some pictures of what I have been up to. I made some children's jackets out of a pair of knitted pants I had - recycling and all clean! I dyed and screened some elephant tops which I then used fabric paint in tubes to outline and paint grass onto. And some girls dresses with trees screenprinted on, these I also hand painted some extra leaves and a bit of grass at the bottom, as I thought they looked a bit flat. Check out the Etsy store, where they will all be soon.
