Well this is an unexpected bonus. My new sparkly linen top works very well with one of my old favourites. This skirt was recently rescued from the depths of my wardrobe. The Fabric Store also has an excellent and extensive selection of Liberty.

Bra making, or engineering, for a large band and cup size is different. Many bra makers can get away with using narrower straps and more delicate details. For me? The Wacoal bra features a back strap extension.

Sewing for the Life You Want. There has been a lot of talk around the blogosphere about sewing cake vs. frosting, ie basics that you can wear in your everyday life vs. Calling All Sewcialists and Chicago Sewists. Leila was in town for a shor.

When I saw this fabric online at Darn Cheap.

My exciting adventures into the wonderful world of sewing. Happy Rainy Day Cot Mobile. Following our recent house move, Ash and I have been getting very excited about making this house our own. Which I scaled down to suit the size that I wanted, and used Gamma Ray Gray fabric, part of the Cosmic Convoy by Cloud 9 collection from The Natural Loom.

Frozen Berries, my Bombshell Swimsuit. Blue Ocean swimsuit, Butterik B5795. The Brenda Milner Phantom Jacket.

Inspiration, design, pattern making, sewing, and wearing. But my husband is on annual leave over Christmas so I whipped up this little number. The fabric is an excellent quality woven cotton from Sckafs at Indooroopilly. I just love the print. Not knowing what I would make when I bought the fabric there is a bit left over.

I have three different bras to present. The channeling from Procelynne Fabric Boutique and the underwires from CalaOssidiana.
