Kiddies Kot Kwilts



I have just completed a couple of cot sized quilts for my sean-the-prawn label. Just simple squares of vintage recycled fabrics that I have decorated with various coloured topstitching in embroidery thread. I then quilted around each square. Margie @ MoochInside has been kind enough to display them in her gorgeous shop ....I hope they sell!!

wall hanging...not sure about it

I recently dusted off my old screen printing/textile design talents....I'll let you be the judge of the results. I designed this little trippy panda print, inspired by wall paper from my 1970's childhood bedroom. The print is in red on a stoney coloured background, and I have backed it and created a border around it with a fab old vintage fabric. Then I just couldn't help myself from sewing lots of my Granny's old buttons all over it. What do you think?? I think it looks cute in my daughter's room but would any one want to buy it?? Are wall hangings cool or not?

3rd birthday dress for Ava

Back view




Front view of a sweet little pini dress that I whipped up last week for my friend's beautiful 3 yr old daughter's birthday. It is made from a great piece of pale vintage 1970's denim (quite slubby) and some groovy Japanese kids prints.

sean-the-prawn photo shoot

A little photo shoot with 3 little sweeties modelling from the sean-the-prawn range currently selling at Mooch Inside. Lisa Haymes was the photographer....great shots. This one shows lovely little Raow Raow (her name for herself) and friends sitting pretty in their sean-the-prawn shifts all made from vintage fabrics and buttons.
The fabulous Miss Frankie fanging around on the old trike. Beautiful early 70s flower power print. Cute little vintage buttons on the frilly rosette detail.



This photo shows Missy cutting loose in the back yard. Love the vintage guipure lace daisy on the pocket. Great original 1960's pop art print.

The young whippersnapper loves mum's little frocks



When delivering my sean-the-prawn frocks to Mooch Inside, Max my 5yr old son just wouldn't part with them until he had his photo taken with them outside the store.

In store now..hooray



Hooray, my little dresses are in store at Mooch Inside and I couldn't help myself...I had to get the camera out. It gives me such a buzz to see them retailing in such a beautiful shop. I have been told they are selling well which is wonderful news although I do hope they go to good homes.

Frock & Roll



New sean-the-prawn shift dresses are on their way to being made. I have found some great vintage remnant pieces of fabric. I am so in love with these new prints. I'm also making the dresses in a greater range of sizes. They will be in store at Mooch Inside within the week. I can't wait until they are finished and I can stand back and look at these little babies.
