Yesterday was the wettest day we've seen in Perth for over 12mths and I decided to go check out the Craft & Quilt Fair at the Convention Centre - for the first time - on the train.
The train trip was sooo easy, can't believe I've never done it before - I'm definitely doing it again.
Why would you sit in traffic, crawling for miles, when in 20mins & $1.80 later, you're there.
I need to get out more!

Denise from Hot Possum is the first stockist of my Change of Heart Skirt pattern.
The patterns, along with her new quilts & homewares were launched at the Perth Craft & Quilt Fair and being as I'd never been to one before I wanted to check it all out - especially wanted to find out if she'd sold a pattern.
How gorgeous is Denise and look at her handiwork - not just the skirt but all those quilts & cushions - she created them! 
Here's a closer look at her and the Change of Heart Skirt patterns!
Much to my relief & surprise she had sold more than one pattern, in fact they were selling like hot cakes - YeeHaa!
This vintage trunk of fabric was also disappearing at an alarming rate.
I had a really good look around, taking my time to wander up and down each aisle.
It was a quilters wonderland. The fact I'm not a quilter didn't stop me from finding something to buy.
It was on the trip home when I stopped into the local Op Shop that I found my sort of treasure and was reminded that this is why I like to shop where I do.
They're destined for the filing, until I determine what they're going to be best in - I'm already thinking the skirt will look amazing in a tunic or coat....
I wonder if you found treasure this week and where you like to shop.
Hi Jody, here is where I shop:
ReplyDeleteI admired your skirt kits at the show, bought some quilting gadgets and only touched the fabrics!!
Online I bought a book "ReSew", turn thrift-store finds into fabulous designs.
Today I went to the Red Cross Bindaring Clothing/Boutique Sale at the Showground. It was worth waiting in line, I got some great bargains, some for reinventing.
No more shopping now, back behind the sewing machine.

“Desigual” means “unequal” in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteFYI, REinventing Fashion fan, Nadine
Maud - you've had a good week! Look forward to hearing about the book.
ReplyDeleteNadine - I like that it means unequal just wish I could pronounce it properly!
