Cheeky monkey

Well! We did have great warm-ish days and sunny skies the last few days.....but I still missed the blog and all of you peeps. And there's lots to tell. I've been a busy bunny.

Let me introduce you to the first of the summer range. Cheeky monkey! That's what I'm calling this smock.....cos' look at the super-cute print.



The fabric is from Retromummy, if you're wondering.....and some natural coloured linen. This is an experiment that thankfully is going to work out after all. I find that sometimes linen is too stiff to work with, until it's washed with a big drenching of fabric softener. So I'm going to be making some more of these very shortly.

And because I'm sorta chuffed about the first linen smock, I went on a bit of a spree today whilst I was sans bub, with most of the market dosh. Lookee, lookee! A whole heap of plain linen and cotton voile fabrics lined up for the next laundry day.


And they were from apparently a garment industry secret source deep in the rat-infested streets of Surry Hills, Sydney......because I got them all at wholesale prices (with a small cutting fee, because I can't really buy the whole roll). Can you hear me whooping with glee? Hip hip hooray! And thank goodness I didn't have the rug-rat, as it was soooo tight and squeezy in there.

Oooh, and I'm going to be cheeky and keep the secret....unless you really, really, really want to know.
