Bargain find.
.
Picked up 12 Knitwit patterns from the local Lifeline store.
.
The previous owner, bless her was a tracer so everything is in tack.
.
There maybe an 80's theme happening and a few mentions of shoulder pads, but all in all all useful patterns.

Cause I need more fabric!
.
@wearethefabricstore kindly let us shop on Friday night. Such a great way to shop - nibbles and bubbles!
.
Me who said I won't be getting much ended up with 4 pieces; lurex, tencel, striped denim and some plain lightweight denim.
.
Thanks ladies for the enabling!

Getting ready!
.
Toiling a top for #sydneyfrocktails2019.
.
Pants have been toiled already (knit fabric) and a 90% bang on so I'll wear them to the event. Or I may make adjustments and make another pair. Not bad for someone who was terrified of knits until last year.
.
Fabric for top is drying (bucketing outside at the mo) and hopefully the top won't need too many adjustments. Going nice and simple this year.
.
May make some earrings and a clutch as well. Not sure.

#bpsewvember2019 Day 2 - Treasure.
.
My treasure is not sewing related but this gorgeous piece.
.
This is a handmade 12 string guitar that I got for my 18th birthday - I am now 54.
.
She was made in 1983 and has a removable neck. The sound from her is simply beautiful but alas I haven't played her in years. I just realised one of the strings is broken.
.
I don't know much about her other than that she was made by a Japanese luthier K Yairi (he has signed it).
.
If ever there was a fire in the house? I would grab her after the cats.

Well hello there.
.
I am Stephanie and I live in the leafy suburb of Wahroonga (Sydney). It means "Our Home" in the local Aboriginal language.
.
I'm a sewer and a knitter, mad for animals especially cats.
.
I love driving my little car (red one in the background) - Abbie the Abarth.
.
Music - must have it on. All. The. Time.
.
I have just been through treatment for breast cancer and now am sporting fabulous curly hair - it was dead straight before! Ah the Nanna perm.
