What's New

I know it's still 4 months away, actually that's not that far away, but Christmas is coming, and I don't know about you all but when I see something I think someone may like I grab it.


So for every sewer these are so cute you just have to have one.
Our sewing baskets come in 2 sizes, and both have the tray insert. I think they're great, a little more modern than the average sewing basket. Great for a gift or just to have one for yourself.
We have the baskets at our City and Indooroopilly stores.

Have You Seen Valentino Yet?

This is the question we are constantly asked at work, and now I can happily say, " Yes!!!!!!!!! and it is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!" Notice my use of exclamation marks, that is the only way to describe it.


I went on Wednesday with "technical" friend and co worker Michael. We had a great time looking as closely as we could without touching, which was very close as none of the gowns are behind glass.


My opinion of the exhibition, the man was a master, his designs, cut, use of fabrics ( a lot of silk faille) and finishes were superb. The only other thing that would have made it perfect was if we could have taken some of the gowns off the models and turned them inside out to see how they were sewn, but alas never going to happen.


So if you can get to Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art do so you won't be disappointed, the exhibition goes until November 14th.




I'm off again on Tuesday with some girlfriends, just to look at the pretty dresses this time.
