'Boutique Markets THIS SUNDAY - NEW Retailer Sneak Peak!'

scrappy bits apron

This jump-up-and-hit-you-in-the-eye version of a full adult's apron has been adorned with a wide selection of the scrappy bits of fabric I can't bring myself to throw out...too small for any other purpose, rescued from   my own stash plus anything my friends and family throw my way, augmented with op-shop treasures, now a way to give them all new purpose! Available at my shop on etsy, or on display at the BiECO this coming week-end.

And something more for the BiECO!

Upcycled cardie with buttons, puffs and embroidery!

Another etsy listing that I've just put into my shop, ready for the BrisStyle indie ECO market on Saturday.

Buzzing for BiECO

There's a great big buzz of excitement about the first ever BiECO this coming week-end! Just the sort of challenging parameters to bring out the champion crafters and creators...genuinely can't wait to see what the girls come up with, including lots of genuine vintage and second-hand as well as repurposed, recycled and renewed goodies.

These cushions now available at my etsy shop are a modern twist on log cabin patchwork, with quirky applique, button backs, and complete with my own calico inserts...little party-starters in groups or singles for the mod lounge room.

Hope to see you on Saturday!

BiECO-lossal!

reconstituted woollies ready for the BiECO

wimcee's next market is something very different - brisStyle's first ever eco market, on Saturday July 10th, at St Augustine's church hall and grounds on Racecourse Road, Ascot. Local etsians will be amazing us all with a wide range of upcycled, repurposed and vintage wares. While most of my usual stock is made from new fabrics and fibres, I have previously offered a few eco-friendly pieces, so the BiECO is a wonderful opportunity to devote extra time and energy to upcycled denims, reconstituted and embellished woollies, and all manner of wimcee-cal numbers put together from my supply of vintage fabrics, buttons, ribbons, trims and scraps. As usual, just never quite enough hours in the day and days in the week to make good all the ideas I'd like to try out, but so much fun -!

Mathilda mayhem

Another flurry of couturier activity, so to speak, with Mathilda's Market this Saturday (19/6/10) at Eagle Farm Race Course, Ascot, Brisbane, from 9 am to 1 pm...the first time I've been at Mathilda in the new venue, so looking forward to seeing how it all works, for them and for me. Lots of colour in my latest work (when was there never) with more skirts, more soft toys, more trousers and knits. Even if you have no small people yourself, Mathilda's really is an ideal shopping ground for gifts that are different and of a  high quality, so worth a look. And a preview of wimcee...

chicka chic

After a long but rewarding day taking part in Brisbane's Saviours of the Lost Arts Fair on Tuesday, fingers and toes are crossed for a beautiful winter's day for the BrisStyle indie Designers' Market this Saturday...and wimcee will be there with more even more fiesta-rama goodies, including more fabric-covered journals for catching the moment in prose or image form, and some new fabric brooches to dress up the most neutral woolly cardie or coat.
