Burda 7493

I have been looking at this jacket pattern for a while, but wasn't too sure what to make it in, then I saw our cotton and metal blend in white and knew it would be perfect. I really wanted a crushed look, but not a linen, so this was ideal.

I am really happy with the way the pattern came together, though the instructions on the welt pockets took a couple of read throughs. I checked a few reviews on pattern review and they said the same thing, so at least I know I haven't lost the plot just yet.

The fabric made up really well and I achieved the look I was after.

So all in all a successful project.

I love the bias frill on the neckline along with the exposed zip.

See you in store soon.

Pattern Making

After many requests we have decided to introduce a pattern making class. The class will be taught by Robyn Ready, a pattern maker who has been in the industry for many years. She was the pattern maker for Gardams Bridal for many years and has now been doing patterns for individual clients.



If you are interested in these classes, they will be held at our Indooroopilly store, so give us a call there and we can give you more information.

Something for the Kids

I have just returned from my holiday and loved what I saw as I walked into the Indooroopilly store, Spot. We have quite a collection of books about this little dog's adventures, though sadly my "big" 9 year old is no longer interested in them.

This print is on 100% cotton and I can't decide what to do with it, there are so many options. My first thought was a quilt, but then I thought library bag or maybe even a pencil case, I will have to think on it.

But as I ventured further into the shop I saw this and knew I had to have it.

It is 100% cotton flannelette !!!It's a beautiful quality so thick and soft. I know my nephew will definitely will be getting a pair of winter pj's in this.

We have spot just at Indooroopilly and the flannel at Indooroopilly and City.

See you in store soon.

WE ARE OPEN

A big thank you must go out to all our lovely customers who have enquired how the shops are and also how we all personally are.

We are pleased to say all is well. Indooroopilly, City and Toowoomba stores came out of this disaster all in one piece. The city has been closed due to the power cuts, but it's trade as usual at Indro and Toowoomba. Hopefully the city will be open tomorrow.
