Here is Sydney's favourite little one (only 106kg of pure CUTE!)
In the shot of me in Sydney, I'm wearing a Clothkits skirt ....
The pattern is printed on the fabric - the print is designed especially for the skirt shape - just cut and sew ....

Dyeing ... This was from one of my workshops during the holidays ....
I played with a new product - "Texture Magic" it shrinks up by 30% with steam ..
It gives a puffy wrinkly effect ....

This City Bag used a textured panel - a piece of Kimono fabric attached to Texture Magic and shrunk up ...
I really need to work on a better way to photograph bags .... I could have at least Brasso -ed the tap!
More funny shaped bags ...

I also made a belt - printed the design via the inkjet, and fused on some Lamifix Gloss ...

Well... I'm exhausted! You have been busy.
ReplyDeleteI'm coming to Sydney in January and I hope the elephant doesn't grow too much between now and then.
My giddy aunt! You've been a busy girl!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit intrigued by the shrinky fabric thing. I saw a bit of it on my Sewjourn trip a while ago and can see all sorts of uses for it.
I don't know where to start - so much inspiration for one post! Love the bag with the textured panel - it really adds another dimension. The little covered notebook is sweet, and the felt bag is really stunning. You have been busy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame you didn't look me up! I see that you got some of our beautiful winter blue sky weather. Also very intrigued by the quilted fabric on the bag. Could you post some explanation?
ReplyDeleteLove your work! There is nothing wrong with extremes!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been so creative! Sounds like a great vacation to me... I'll have one of those (maybe not as productive...) when the kids are bigger. And how great is that skirt?! Such a simple and amazing concept.
