Fabulous New Stockist

Soho dress, Lillipilli Lane.  Luke Going Photography

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Rosie of Bellies & Stripes over the last couple of months to provide some of my wares for her new market stall!  Bellies and Stripes has a really lovely and funky range of mamma's and childrens wares.  If you tire of the 'frumpy' maternity wear thats around, and would like some gorgeous wares that really show of the female figure through all it stages, then you will probably *love* Rosie's exclusive collection. Rosie is committed to supporting sustainable fashion and buys from local designers. 

You can pop by and visit Bellies & Stripes every 1st and 3rd Sunday at the Peregian Beach Markets, Qld or visit her on Facebook Bellies and Stripes

Do yourself a favour and drop by Rosie's FB page just to admire the beautiful photographs taken by Luke Going Photography, like a wander through an art gallery.  His talent as a photographer speaks for itself  and Lillipilli Lane has been the happy recipient of some of Luke's fashion work already, with more planned.

These are a few of my favourite things...

Sweet William,  Peacock Print one of my fave'son Madeit

I have had a lot of fun just recently being selected with several other online handmade boutique owners, to bring this weeks "Seller's Picks" to the Madeit site .  These are seller's current favourite items found on the Australian online handmade market open 24/7, http://www.madeit.com.au/ 

You can view them here http://www.madeit.com.au/picks.asp


There are so many great items on Madeit, and whilst we have 'picked' our current fave's we have by no means discovered all the wonderful items hiding on Madeit...pop by and see what fave's you can find!

Customised clothing for an individual fit

This is a one of our certified organic fabric girl's dresses, in our Eco Organic range, don't you just *love* the fabric!  No chemicals have been used in the production or manufacture of the fabric, so a good choice for your health and the environment!

We have adjusted this stock dress for one of our valued clients, for a child that is taller then 'average' height.

The picture shows us adding a red complimentary border to increase the length of the dress! 

Do you  find it hard to get clothes to 'fit' your little ones, who may be smaller, taller etc than the 'average'.  Email us to chat about what we can do to help get the right fit for your needs : )

have a great day,
regards

Inspiration...interpretation...creation...

(photo credit to come, Dance magazine)

Do you ever get an overwhelming desire to create...something you just need to express...welling up from within?

The trigger can come from the most unexpected places, like the beautiful dancer above....

I was so moved by the image I just had to create and express my own interpretation, through clothing of course!

What fun, and a sense of satisfaction, fulfillment...  A gorgeously long skirt...in a colour and soft fabric that I am *loving*...

What has inspired you lately?  Would love to hear...

Wearable 80's art, Ken Done vintage

Do you remember Ken Done, the Aussie art icon? Well, I have had this wonderful piece of upcycled Ken Done fabric for some time, and I have recently finished piecing together this fabulous, fun, skirt.

Overlock the waistband on, switch to3 threads, 1 needle and make a creative hem...

Voila one cute skirt! Doesn't this Ken Done fabric come up a treat.

What a unique collector's item and an interesting way to collect art.  I would think it rare to come across a piece of this fabric again.  It, to me, seems to have stood the test of time (my guess is 80's vintage - which just happens to be back in vogue) and has a fun quirky-ily groovy style.  Isn' that part of the fun of upcycling!

Oooh, do I sell it or keep it?
It is said "if you were around to wear the fashion the first time, you probably shouldn't wear it the second time"...however I think there may be an exception, if it has been re-fashioned to a suitable style, one may be able to get away with it. What do you think?
