Photoshoot!

Wow, I have been so very busy the last few weeks..... Everything is kicking into overdrive for the "Treasure Hunt Market" on 1st May. We had a photoshoot last Sunday down at Hillary's Boat Harbour with 5 gorgeous girl and 1 little cute baby! Check out the amazing photo's from "Jeannette Baxter Photography", they are too cute! If you would like to see more photo's, please "LIKE" us on Facebook!

Sewing for the 60 swimsuits is nearly finished! I am a little behind schedule, but considering I'm working 3 full-time days, teaching dancing Monday night & Saturday, swimming Thursday's and most importantly full-time mummy, I think I'm doing pretty well.... Every spare 10 minutes I can sit at a sewing machine is treated like gold at the moment (hence the reason for no blogging)! Let's hope I can keep up the pace for the next few weeks...

Here's another little tester!!! Too cute!!!

Please contact myself if you would like to use these photo's and I can check with my photographer. If you would like copies, I can email you a booking form from my photographer for professional printing.

Cheers

A start for the markets!

What a busy week! I have cut out 50 "Floppy Ruffle Swimsuits", which includes 150 ruffles and boy am I glad all the cutting out is done! I have rolled hem approx 120 ruffles and surprisingly I'm enjoying it and can't wait to get back into the sewing room to finish them. Here is a sneak peak what I will have available at "Treasure Hunt Market Place" on 1st May at Craigie Leisure Centre. I have sizes 000-6 with 4 different fabric choices. I don't like how they fit on the dummy, but my model was asleep....

I'm really looking forward to my first market and hopefully I'll be checking off my "To Do" quicker than I thought... I have booked in a photo shoot, bought materials, ordered Clothing Tags, next is to find some nice Clothing Racks for display.

Cheers Lee-Anne

HotPants & Bikini Bathers!

I love this fabric and thought of this design straight away!!! I love it!!! Another pair of bathers for swimming lessons.
The fabric is black with fluro coloured peace signs on it. The style is Hotpants with a Halter neck top. The shorts have a gather with a bow tie at the sides and the top has it at the centre front.

Too funky!!!!

I love sewing with lycra, just overlock and done! The fabric went great in the chlorinated hydrotherapy pool, but it was a very expensive fabric and I normally wouldn't spend that much on lycra, but it was too damn cute for 50cm.... A few adjustments to make and then they will be up for sale!

Cheers Lee-Anne

Polka-dot bathers

Here are some bathers I made for Talia to wear for her first swimming lesson. I thought the material was chlorine resistant, but they turned yellow within 10mins of being in a Hydrotherapy pool!!! which is a pitty, as I love this white & polka-dot fabric!

I didn't take any photo's before they went in the pool, so the fabric is not white anymore... I definately won't be using this fabric to make bathers for swimming lessons, however the fabric went great in the ocean. A few adjustments to be tested before I sew some of these to sell....
















I do love this pattern and hopefully can find some fabric that will handle the chlorine...
















This is the Talia after mummy chasing her around the house trying to get some good photo's.... ENOUGH MUMMY!!!!

Up & Abouts Again!!!

Hi all,

Wow it has been a crazy few months and apologies for not blogging...... From Nov 2010 to Feb 2011 we have been so busy with so many things, most important, organising the sewing room! A huge thanks to my hubby who has wanted me to clean out the room for years, so he can make me the perfect desk for the machines, so we did it! He ripped apart the old table and whipped me up a new table! He even had some spare wood left to make Talia a little matching table! Now I just need a trip to Ikea to sort out storing everything, I have promised to keep the room tidy now.... ummm... maybe I shouldn't have made that promise, opps....

The night before we left for our holiday to Busselton, I whipped up some Rashie bathers for Talia. She also had some HeavenLee Creation bathers for her Swimming lesson this week!
















I did a lot of sewing for Christmas, birthday's, testing patterns for Little Lizard King, which are always soo much fun!
















For Christmas I sewed about 15 of these cute little skirts.. unfortunatley I was in such a hurry i forgot to take some photo's of them all, but here are 2 of Talia's fav's.... I used a pattern from Two Little Banshees, with a few extra ruffles added in...

















And the most important of all, we are all finally healthy and well after our holiday! We left our flu germs in Busselton and they are staying there!!!

Hope everyone had a great christmas and holidays!
Love Lee

Baby Bathers

Talia had her first swimming lesson yesterday and she FINALLY got to wear her bathers again that I made her for christmas last year. Even though she looked a bit "stunned" in the pool, she was the cuttest dressed bub there!!!

They are now available on my Etsy site. These great pics are from Jeannette Baxter!Cheers Lee-Anne
