My first award!

 Camelia Crinoline has passed this award onto me!  I am thrilled - thanks Camelia!
I didn't expect to get any awards as I only had 19 followers up until my giveaway so it's a lovely surprise!

Now 5 questions:

1. What size shoes do you wear?  If you wear a 7 can I borrow your shoes?

Alas, I wear an 8! Which is a shame because then I could have borrowed yours too!!

2. 30's or 60's?

Oh I am a child of the 60's!  Born 1962 and I love the 60's fashion ... Yeah baby!

3. Have you ever kissed someone you shouldn't have?  

Of course! Who hasn't! Sometimes things just seem illicit when you are young but then you realise when you are older that it wasn't you and others should have had more responsibility! (oohhh a bit serious!)

4. Have you ever been poisoned?  

I wonder why this question comes after the kissing question??!!  Not to my knowledge but lets face it, if you kiss someone you shouldn't maybe some one did want to/try to!! he he didn't work.

5. Who is your "celebrity free pass" list?  

a) Nick Cave  Love his music and have been listening to it since he was a drugged out singer in Birthday Party! b) Jamie Oliver because I love how he shows people how to cook good food and how easy it is to eat well. And he cares. c) Ian Curtis from Joy Division just to tell him it's ok, hang in there and it will be better d) Richard Branson because I would like some of his insights into his irreverence (I guess I could read the book but I would rather talk about it!) and e) the three grandparents who died before (well before) I could meet them.

Now I would like to pass it onto:
Some of my favourite blogs!

I think we are twins on opposite sides of the country! Same year, same shoe size, same music taste and we started blogging at around the same time(your blogoversary post made me think about it and when I went and checked I started a year ago yesterday). Thanks for the award!

More things I've made - part 2

Hello... welcome to part two of things I've made. I now realise there will be a part 3 as there's more I can't post tonight. These things I made last year before I went to South Korea for a holiday. The photos of the top that I made with the Vogue pattern above are down below. Don't know why Blogger won't let me move them, but I don't have time to argue with it!  Anyway, I made it with some merino French Terry I bought years ago. It is merino loops, but the outer facing part of the fabric is nylon. It's very lightweight, warm and comfortable  but not the best for this pattern as the nice high neck doesn't stay up high, but it's still really nice and useful in my warmish winter. I made it as the vest top and hemmed it and bound the armholes with some fold over elastic I bought at some markets in Lisbon in my trip last year. I put a chunky metal pink zip as the closure. I will make this again as I really like that it's not a boring old pullover. I...

More things I've made - part 3.

Well part 3 is here. First up Style 1876. Did I ever say that Style are my favourite patterns? So this one was an op shop find a long time ago. It's a great pattern. I can't remember if the bodice is cut on the bias (but I think not) and the skirt is cut on the bias. I made it out of some synthetic crepe in the most fabulous colour. It has great pockets that you can see on the red dress.. The are sewn onto the back pieces, and then when you sew it up and leave the opening, you stitch the pocket onto the inside/front of the dress. That pocket isn't going anywhere. I used up all the fabric which was a gift from a friend's mother in law. It turned out to be a bit see though and I didn't wear it. It fits so nicely around the shoulders and arm holes. I decided I was going to wear it to Brisbane Spoolettes Frocktails this year as I didn't have time to make something else. I decided that it needed something else though as it was a little too see through for me.  I had ...

YFASMA - Fabric shopping in Athens

I promised this post in March! Fabrics from Euro1 per metre! I didn't buy anything in this shop but there was some lovely fabrics. I did buy the green and pink one above on the right. A satin finish rayon. It is lovely. There was a lot of lovely fabrics in this shop. It wasn't cheap Euro 8 p.m. but I didn't have a lot of room in my bag and I wanted something I would really love. I also didn't buy anything in Paris this time. I did buy the  fabric for a table cloth  just across the way from this shop. I also bought some orange/white weave linen fabric for Euro 4 p.m. at another shop, which I think I'll make some summer trousers with.  As I was going to the airport, I saw this dress on the platform and I really liked it. Very easy to do too, I went to the  Benaki Museum  while in Athens. There is actually 2 locations. In this one I saw lots of Greek and Cypriot cultural crafts. This was a bridal bed in Crete. There was lots of clothing, embroidery and gold jewelle...
