Happy Face Comforter

Front view
Back view

I have just completed a small run of these little pillows with carry straps. I thought toddlers might like to drag them around where ever they go. A teddy bear or bunny rug substitute. I embroidered smiling faces on the backs of them to give them their own cheery little personalities. They are made out of a yummy natural coloured linen and sweet little japanese crafty prints. The one pictured is one of my favoutites....little red riding hood with green embroidery. My fab local gift shop Mooch Inside currently has five in stock,all different prints with various embroidery colours.
A Very Merry Christmas to All !!
Wishing you happy times how every you choose to celebrate the day.

Blue Hat ...First Hat


Back view
Here is the blue floral hat that I made. This was pretty much my prototype for all hats made from then on...photo is a bit dark and doesn't really do it justice, for it is a gorgeous blue. Got to love an old tea towel find, pristine condition must have been stored away in some old biddies nappery drawer.

Old Hat...New Hat

Back View Sun Hat.
Side Front View showing reverse fabric.

I'm so excited about these little sun hats that I have been making. They are fully reversible and I took the pattern off a little 1960's number which I'm assuming had been designed originally with bit of a 1920's cloche hat as inspiration. Oh how fashion just keeps reworking the old & making it new! This is second hat to come off my home production line and it is made from a piece of fabric that I've been hording for 27 years which originally belonged to my beautiful Grandma Lilly. I was forever dragging bags of her fabric scraps home with me much to my parent's horror throughout my childhood.
Hat Number One which I will upload a photo of soon is a pretty blue floral made from a gorgeous unused teatowel that I Op shopped titled Flowers Of New Zealand...Kitsch yet Klassy(with a K).
Will fit smallish headed adult...biggish headed kiddies. Currently working on alternate sizes.

Both Hats are currently retailing at Mooch Inside at Killcare.

New Summer Style


This is my new style for sean-the-prawn Summer 2009. Each dress is made from recycled fabric..in a past life the dress photographed was once a pretty pillowcase. My two and a half year old daughter loves her dress so much it is always a struggle to get her to part with it. I can't wait to see all the others complete...it is fun playing with different fabric combinations.

Latest Custom Quilt

I have recently made a little girls cot quilt. It was a custom order for a little bubby yet to arrive on this earth. All the best to Mummy Melissa and Bub for a safe and speedy delivery.
The photo shows the quilt hanging over my daughter's wardrobe, next to which hag a couple of sweet framed prints that used to be in my bedroom when I was a wee lass. Ahhh memories.
