summer sewing









There is something whimsy and dreamy in sewing up delights in the midst of Summer.  Today the temperature is set to reach the forty degree mark.  The curtains have been drawn, the fans on high rotation and "inside" games and crafts are scheduled.  A salad announced as the answer to "what are we having for lunch/dinner" questions.  So whilst I had a few moments of energy before the heat leads us to the local watering hole, I took some time to organise my stock for an upcoming summer night market this weekend in the peaceful location of the local golf course.  A few newbies to add tags too....  A collection of summer scarves adorned with pom pom trim and a few girls summer skirts completed as well.  Once tagged and pressed they will be diligently packed away in vintage suitcases.

How are your summer crafts going?

  1. ooh, those suitcases - awesome market props. Haven't done a market for a few years, maybe this year!
    Make sure you take some pics of your finished market stall.

  2. Looking good lovey. Where is that night market? Never heard of that location. Is it in Victoria or are you travelling elsewhere? Would love to come but I have to work most of Saturday and Sunday, we have Darren's parents arriving tonight for the weekend and we are currently living without a kitchen!!!

  7. Looks like it's a hive of activity at your place Brenda. I just can't seem to muster the motivation to sew in this heat at the moment. My space being in dire need of a clean/tidy doesn't help either.

  10. I really want to sew. Actually, I really want to purchase a machine, or use my manual one sitting in the hallway (Steve's grandmother's). I am so inspired by what you create.

    I'm also loving those suitcases. They are adorable! x
