Now it’s time for a new inspiration. This week it’s the pin from Amour’s wedding bouquet.. You just gotta love the bling and we want to see it used again in a new way.

Originally we wanted to reblog this one but couldn’t figure it out *blush* We didn’t want to overlook this one because of our newness so decided to do it in a way that we knew how 🙂

Check out this beautiful restyle from The Renegade Seamstress. It’s a DIY: Art Nouveau Inspired T Shirt Refashion Tutorial. Absolutely lovely patterned material and beautiful pleats. Maybe one day we can sew like this 😉

This is our first blog! We are still getting the site together – slowly but surely!

On Friday night (ok it was Saturday morning at 2.30am) I went to the Flemington Markets Swap Meet with my little sister. We go around once a month and dig through what they have to offer and every time we walk away with bags and bags of pieces and a head full of inspirations of what we will do with our new treasures.

My Treasures…

Then to top off my weekend on Saturday we went to Ikea in Tempe and I got myself the SY Sewing Machine…it’s so cute and functions nicely.

My head is overflowing with ideas of what I will do with all my new goodies. Thank you for reading and please come back to visit our blog and we’ll show you our creations as we make them.
