A Well Earned Rest

I'm taking a break for 2 months over winter.
So my last 2 markets are The North Melbourne Market this Sunday and then the Hand Knitters Guild on the Following Saturday the 28th. So if you need goodies these will be your last 2 opportunities to stock up until August.
So, there will be no markets until August 21st At the North Melbourne Market.

New Arrivals and this years markets

Hello again, here are some photos of some of my new arrivals to start off the 2011 market season. To see more, please visit my Flickr page.

I will be starting the year off at the Thread Den Market this Sunday the 23rd in North Melbourne.
You will be able to find me at the Artists Market in Geelong, the Exchange Market in Ballarat and the Picadilly Market in Geelong this year. And the odd one thrown in here and there in other parts of town.

Gearing Up for the Next Market

Well it's the process starting again....getting ready for the next run of markets.
Unpacking and folding, pressing, sorting and pricing piles of fabric for you guys to do wonderful and interesting stuff with. And speaking of the wonderful stuff that you do with these fabrics....if you have done things, please send me a photo. I'd love to see these fabrics come to life.
I have had some of these fabrics in my possession since I was 13 years old...(do the math, thats a LONG time ago) I remember buying my first piece...from Clegs when it was still in Geelong.  It was a very elaborate burgundy paisley cotton. Long gone now. I made a terrible 1980's style dress out of it. My sewing skills were not so good back then! And my tastes have changed since then too!
Here is a taster of some fabrics coming your way...Enjoy

Lots of lovely new Vintage Fabrics...

Well I have unpacked these beauties to share with you all....some are very drool worthy. Sorry about the bad photos I will take some better ones later. Enjoy!

These are from the 1940's to 1972...and I know it's 1972 as some still have their original purchase receipts with them. They are all cottons. Some are textured cottons and barkcloths. There are lots more and I will post photos as I unpack.
