=D WOW WHAT A DAY!
I visted my first Craft Show today and i have the FEVER!
Starting off with super super fun table in Reconstruction Zone letting you choose some clothing and whatever the hell you wanted to! ohmygod it was best vibe and a sure winner today. The girls at the Zone
I found a cute handmade dress someone didnt finish off and went to work.
I didnt feel like doing a lot to it, i wanted to dye it a nice purple colour when i got home so i added some of these funky bead tassles, odd buttons and lace straps and prayed to god it was going to fit me!
Then the craziest randomest thing happen, I was just finshing off the dress and who do i see in front of me???? well it was only like 5 people in Channel Nine news shirts wanting to do a segment on the Reconstruction Zone! I was like hell yeah *jawdrops*, then the presenter comes and sits on the sewing machine next to me and wants me in the background *double jawdrop*. So youll see me on Saturday Night News at 5.30pm sewing! ( my monoply bags is there too!)
So crazy.
Later i finally got to watch the wonderfull craft doco Handmade Nation amazing stuff guys check out it at Indie Crafts
After i had a relaxing lunch and felt my feet again i went around to all the online shops that had their booths all in a row and got chatting to the lovely owner and brains behind Mixtape Zines, Justine (also the inpirstion behind my blog) she fell in love with my Monpoply Bag and wanted to write about it! This had never happening before and heres the link
Check out her Issue 8 Zine and sick sewing theme buttons ( i got me some!)
Also while i was walking around the stalls i spotting really really cool artwork/feature pieces tho i didnt get a photo of a table and chair set covered in astro turf with a sewing mahcine set upon it, so cute XD

My last trip was to check out the books at Candobooks and they have a good selection.
I found myself a neat book The Dressmaker's Technique Bible for $20 to learn more skills so im pretty happy :)
