I have often said that with a great fabric you could just cut arm holes in it and you would look fabulous and this is a good example. A simple shape in gorgeous mesh sequins. Link to sequins in the comments.

A nice little selection of dresses at Merimbula Vinnies. Anyone looking for a budget friendly formal dress keep your eye out during the year, buy something you love that is too large for you and bring it to me to re fit. Also that seccond dress is gorgeous, covered in pearls and $45. Someone buy it please.

I was a bit slack with getting photos this year so here are the scraps. Octopus, fish, anemone tentacles, shell necklace, sea witch and jellyfish.

I have in a recent post shared my appreciation for the cable tie. Now I would like to add Dan Murphys to the appreciation list, a reliable source of cardboard boxes. The perfect base structure for a stackable coral reef.

Zip ties to the rescue again. My machine can sew through them and I can bend them where I need to shape some crab legs.

Mermaid scales at the sewing machine. I have always wanted to use this giant sequin fabric.
