I’m very pleased to be able to have my wine bags on display at Merriworth Wines, which is participating in this weekends Spring in the Vines Festival. https://www.winesouth.com.au/

The bags have been selling very well, lots are being bought as Christmas presents.
Why not add a few bottles of wine too, for a complete gift?
If you are going to the festival, make sure to drop into Merriworth wines at 63 Merriworth Road, Tea Tree.

We are coming closer to 19 November, when a number of ladies are coming to my home to look at these beautiful hand made shirts and vests, as well as Christmas things, bags and napery.
The linen shirts were made expertly by Carol, my sewing teacher and professional designer. She will also be here on the day - to talk about the shirts and take orders for more, as needed. I’ve made shirts in raw silk from the same design by Lekala, a Swiss company. They are beautifully tailored to fit close to the body - this will also result in less creasing as the warmth of your body will act like an iron.
I’ve shown the shirts here with vest or beads: the simplicity of the design and fabric will allow you to show off any beautiful beads you may have. Or a silk scarf.
Message me if you’d like to join us on 19 November and I’ll provide details of time and place.

I’m all set up and ready to go in 10 minutes at Collinsvale market. The pictures also show my view out over rolling green hills. The sun is out and it’s a beautiful day! Hoping to see you soon 😊

I’m alway surprised at the number of people who ask for green bags. I love it too, but it’s not a colour well represented in fashion or in fabric. Seems to be an odd unpopular colour.
So here are my green interpretations for coming markets.
Both are wine bags, designed to carry 2 bottles each. They’re on feet for standing up and have heavily padded linings to stop bottles rattling and help keep them safe.
The mint green has a silver / champagne border and khaki strap, while the other in deeper shades has an attractive shell border.
These will be on sale at Collinsvale market this Sunday, or message me before then if you’re interested

I was inspired to make these punk style bags from the fabrics and hardware used by punk designers- notably Alexander McQueen. I saw an exhibition of his outstanding collection in January 2023 in Melbourne. His use of tartan was amazing!
Interesting that punk stylists choose such traditional fabrics. Vivienne Westwood started this trend. I used strong checks as edgings and teamed them up with studs, so they take on a whole new meaning!
Being cross body, the style is very functional. A deep outer pocket for your phone ( I’ve piped the top on each for easy identification), inner pockets, a long adjustable strap for across the body and a recessed zip at the top for security.
Here are my 2 cross body bags and a wine bag, using checks and studs. Enjoy the punk!
I’ll be at the Collinsvale market this Sunday, or message me before then if you’re interested in them

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Christmas is coming. These stunning table runners are perfect for your home entertainment. They are reversible too- so you have 2 designs to choose from, or one design and a cool Christmas green with black detailing: perfect for candles or situations where you don’t want the napery to detract from your settings.
See the close ups of a partridge in a pear tree, cardinal birdies in Christmas bonnets, holly and ivy or poinsettias on a black background.
I’ve made them in a standard size (110 x 32 cm) or extra long for a bigger table (134 x 32 cm). All are heat resistant.
We put so much effort into Christmas entertainment- whether it’s drinks for Christmas Eve, lunch, Boxing Day or new years. Why not add a splash of Christmas colour and design to complete your table 🥂
These will be on sale at my market stalls leading up to Christmas, along with other napery and hand made Christmas kitten decorations for your tree. Message me directly before then if you want more details.
Ho! Ho! Ho! 🎅🧑‍🎄🤶

I’m making up tailored shirts in raw silk, using a pattern shaped with Princess seams ( curving close to the waist and hip). The fabric has a beautiful drape and is a soft wheat colour. It even smells nice! The pictures include an example of how it can be worn with a vest, if you’d like more colour. See you at my next market!

Set up and ready to go At Campania country market. It’s a beautiful day with low wind predicted. I’ve got a lovely view of rolling hills. Smelling sizzling sausages and onions from the fire brigade BBQ. See you soon!
