Miss D in her "eva mei & me" dress

Miss D looks like an entrant in the Miss Universe Competition, she has the pose just right, and how beautiful she is in her eva mei & me creation. I remember, earlier this year, when I was showing her Mummy a few of the the latest creations I had made (this was before I had my Madeit shop), Miss D tried this dress on just so I could see how it looked. She would NOT take it off so her poor Mum ended up buying it for her. (that's a good way to get a sale hey !) The skirt is a vintage floral cotton from my collection and the shirred bodice is broderie anglaise. I have added a couple of my trademark doilies to finish it off.

Thanks so much to Mrs L & Miss D for sharing your photo with everyone.

VINTAGE FABRIC FINDS !!!!!!!!

I can't help myself, when I see vintage fabrics like these I just have to buy !!!! I got quite a lot of new pieces for my collection, plus a vintage wooden ribbon reel from France - it's just so cute.

I can't wait to get sewing with these.

Megan in her Eva Mei & Me Skirt

Thanks to Megan for allowing me to share this photo with you all of her wearing her very own Eva Mei & Me Skirt. It is a first, as I have never made a skirt before for an adult. I was so worried about how it would look. I have to say though that I think I worried for nothing as Megan looks absolutely gorgeous, and it makes me want to make more for the shop now. I just hope that the tops and other skirt she has ordered turns out nicely also. I have been away since last Friday and I experienced some awful wihdrawls from my sewing room. So because of that I just had to go out and purchase some fantastic vintage fabrics from a very groovy shop in Paddington, Brisbane called Retro Metro. I have taken some photos of them and will post hopefully later tonight, along with my recent op shop purchases of some antique teacups and plates etc (my new addiction). Stay tuned, there will be more posts coming.

My version of the Amy Butler pinwheel

This is something I had wanted to try for quite some time. The pinwheel cushion. They look absolutely gorgeous using Amy Butler fabrics but I decided to try one out in some old retro/vintage fabrics just to see how it would look. At first I wasn't sure, but now I have finished it with the antique purple covered button I have actually grown quite attached to it - what do you think ????
