New Stuff This Week




Feeling a bit inspired this week. Mum's beautiful new dolls just in time for Xmas, new fruity pincushions, and patchy pouffes. LOVE.

Dowry and Co. Do

We had a bit of a do at our studio recently. It was a great afternoon, despite the hail and water spout off the coast (quite amazing really). Thank you to all those who braved the weather for a shopping and champagne extravaganza. It was standing room only...

Horses and Butterflies



Butterfly brooches made from tapestry off-cuts and horses made from an old quilt.

Finally finished!




Remember this? - our suzani mattress. It felt as big as a mattress handsewing around the outside. It's a bit big and the next one we do in this style will definitely be smaller! Anyway, pretty happy with the result. Also made a matching cushion out of the other suzani pictured. Such beautiful textiles to work with. Easy to look good.

Dowry Summer 2012











Loving the result of our recent shoot. We're pretty proud of it! We did it completely LOCALLY. Local photographer, model, graphic artist and of course local designing and manufacturing. Not bad for the FARRR South Coast!!

Bales of Vintage Cloth







We just took delivery of a couple of bales of vintage textiles direct from LA. Who'd think you could buy it by the bale? There are some beautiful old cloths in there, in fact some are too good to cut up! Maybe they'll be snuck into my personal stash.

Sneak Peak of Dowry Summer Shoot







Here's some behind the scenes shots of our Dowry Summer shoot. We are sooooo excited about it. Can't wait to show you the final shots. Keep a look out on the website. Very home grown country shoot with our gorgeous model from up the road (literally) and the photographer 25mins up the other road. How's that plait?
