The Making of Soundwave

My darling hubby Roh spent hours making this costume up for the 70's/80's party we went to last night, so I thought I'd dedicate one post to the making of it...




So far, so good..



All finished, final touches added, looking pretty spiffy..



Boxy, but spiffy...he he...

But I suppose the question is....could he dance?


Oh yeah...he could dance :-P


Back later with a few shots of the other costumes.

My Creative Space..

Costume 1 complete - yay! 3 more to go :-P

My space is all about creating and sewing up party costumes this week. I finished Lana's 80's inspired dress yesterday afternoon, and she was so excited. Having never, EVER made anything like this before, I was quite happy with how it turned out.


I think if we crimp her hair, throw on some coloured bangles and maybe add some glitter powder to her skin, she'll look too cute.



Now onto the other costumes!!

Head over here for more fun, fabulous and funky creative endeavours..

**Oh, and just a side note to a comment question asked last week regarding my tote bags - Yes, I sell them through Made It and at Mulgrave Makers Market - thanks for asking!**

Inspired by the 70's & 80's

So at the moment I am in costume-making mode for a party we are all heading to on the weekend. Roh's working on his 'secret' costume, while I work on the rest :-P

Here's some inspiration I've found in my research...

Full reveals on the weekend!

My Creative Space..

is still bags, bags, bags and sewing, sewing, sewing but it's also a little about this too...


Knitting and crochet is something I pull out when the mood and motivation to sew is just not in me. I'm playing with a cute little design for the next market I'm heading to. I might even finish the first one over the weekend..who knows :-P

And just to show you that I have been sewing bags, here is a tote bag I finished up last night...


Looking for more inspiration? Why not grab a cuppa and head over to Kootoyoo and click through some of the amazing blogs linked there. I know that's what I'm going to do a little later today :-)

Little Levi

Levi is 7 1/2 months old already...crazy, right?


He's hit a few milestones over the last two months - he's rolling around, and moving around a lot. One minute he's on the lounge room rug, the next minute he's heading towards the kitchen. Levi is going to be quite a handful once he masters crawling, I think.

Levi can sit by himself quite confidently now. He's also started pushing himself up on his toes, and just yesterday starting testing out his knees. Not long now!


Alannah has the knack of being able to make him laugh big belly laughs, which is very cute to watch.

Levi is babbling lots of word-sounding noises, but nothing distinguishable yet.


Oh, and he has the most crazy mop of curls on his head, which gets comments almost everywhere we go :-)...I love it!


Levi is the perfect last addition to our little family.

My Creative Space..

I've been cutting fabric....a lot of fabric....

There are tote bags...


and Sienna bags...


and Library bags....


and Juliet bags, and the little petal bags....


and then, with any scraps, I've been cutting them into 4 3/4 inch squares or 3 3/4 inch squares, all ready for a random quilt project. Fun, fun!

I also managed to finish off a new Juliet bag....


So lots of projects for me to sew up over the next weeks, all in preparation for the December Mulgrave Makers Market.

Many more interesting and inspiring creative spaces over here.

Sew Sweet

I know, I know....enough with the play on the word 'sew'...he he

Anyhow, I finished making Alannah's new 'Frida' top yesterday, and it fits! And it even looks cute too...double bonus :-P

Here it is, modelled by my adorable Lana Girl...


with the matching bag...


Look at that cheeky smile...
