You will have to excuse the bad photo`s, but i just wanted to show you the 1st sample of the new wendy dress with sleeves which will be three quarter, and a scoop neckline.
 The main problem is the sleeve so i`ll be off to see the pattern drafter in the next week or two for another go. I can see it dressed up with a belt , beautiful bag and a killer pair of shoes. I`m off to check out shoe shops online.

Moving forward


         Winter jacket


Do you ever set  targets for your business? I do 
July last year i decided i wanted to make and sell 200 dresses. 

BONKERS RIGHT?

Not really, 180 and counting  and hoping to make the last 20 by July the 1st.
The only thing is that this July i want to set a new target of 350 and still be making them myself. 

BONKERS AGAIN!!!

Being at Sew it Together really made me realise that i only really want to make dresses  out of beautiful fabrics, and take it from a hobby wage to a full time wage, which will be the hard part.
The last few weeks i`ve been working through, how i`m going to make this happen.
One of the ways is focusing on a few core styles which i`ll introduce you to over the coming weeks , some of them you will have already seen and some may have had the odd tweak to them like the Wendy dress with a three quarter sleeve.
I`m going to go and set some more realistic targets now like doing the dishes every night for the rest of the year.

 THAT REALLY WOULD MAKE ME BONKERS!!

I have finally put together some more stash bags. These  include fabric from Amy Buttler , Tula Pink and Valorie Wells Linen. There are about six good size pieces  in each bag. They are instore at The Olive Grove for $10 or you can email me and i can post them to you . I`m checking the postage within Australia on Monday, i`m sure it won`t be more than $4 i can also post overseas.
