Featured & Incube8r

I was featured by madeit on the website Kid Style File which was very nice, here is the link.
I am also thinking of renting some space at Incube8r which is a fantastic shop in Smith Street, Collingwood which stocks handmade items, quite excited by this and will keep you posted.

Baking boats


Fresh from the oven, though I can't say they smelled very appetising.
New tops with blue boats, one of them could hardly be seen as the paint was the same colour as the top, so I re printed as a shadow - looks good I reckon.
Still waiting to be sewn up.

What to write on a blog.

Hi again. I have not forgotten about the blog, in fact quite the contrary. I think about it often and what I should write here. The problem is that every time I think about something I am doing something else. This is not a problem I do not share, I am sure. Needless to say I have no idea what to write right now.
So I will just give a little overview as to what is going on is my sewing life.
I have decided to put aside 5trillion and my desire to make women's wear for the moment. I would like to concentrate on ShipShap children's wear and also that I am expecting another baby in August and those 2 things are enough to work on at the moment (and, of course, looking after the first little one).
I have made a facebook group for ShipShap.
I have ordered some fabric and am working on a new winter range - it will also have summery pieces; as discussed in an earlier blog, as I sell to people all over and it is not cold all over, I like to have something for everyone.
