Well I think I'm the first person leaving a comment in reply to your fabulous lighting competition, so doubt if I'll "randomly" be picked?? But I've now really studied your funky blog and hope to join one of your sewing classes sometime soon ... maybe when my "baby-boy" starts school? I'm new to this whole bloggie-thing ... so sorry if my comment is too much information?? Anyway go-go-go Gay McDonell - your sewing action, creativity and motivation has inspired me! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the denim, what a great idea. Can't wait to see what you are going to make out of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping over to my blog.
Look forward to catching up again.
Thanks for the denim bleaching information. I have 16 large squres of denim that I was going to use for cushions and bags and your information has helped me come up with some ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteHello, tap-dancing sewing teacher, and I see you are a fabric dyer too! Pleased to meet you.
ReplyDeleteHi Gay, if I ever get out of water restrictions I would love to have a go at the denim bleaching. Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteI have linked this post at http://northviewau.wordpress.com/2010/01/14/new-year/
ReplyDeleteOoh - I could do with a light!!
ReplyDeleteI remember bleaching jeans in the 80's. loads of fun.... until the jeans desintegrated. We didn't know about the neutralising stage.
I'm inspired now, might have to find some old jeans to practice on first though, ones I won't mind ruining! :) I've already picked out which lamp I would buy if I won, very exciting. *Fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for leaving a comment on my blog. I am very inspired by your creations and can't wait to get my sewing machine etc all set up. Reading your blog I was also thrilled to see your recommendations on a great Brisbane fabric shop - having just moved here and no idea where any were.
ReplyDeleteHi again, I've just noticed all your amazing labels on the sidebar...you've been a busy girl! Please count me in for your giveaway, fingers crossed! x
ReplyDeleteIm so excited to be learning new skills. Your blog is so easy to use. I will meet you soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Gay - just become a follower - I would love to enter your giveaway - I love the sticker "sewing nerd" - I have the Bead nerd sticker on my car - my husband doesn't quite appreciate it when he has the boat hooked up the the back hehehe!
