24.01.2022 Beauty and Destruction Had an unusual trip home from work today. The recent storms mean Mountain Hwy is still blocked, so I took the gravel Basin-Olinda Road (lucky the car is filthy anyway ). I passed downed cables and trees freshly cleared off the road, SES tape fluttering everywhere. This pic is in Olinda, opposite where I took the snow photo a few weeks ago Stay safe, peeps! Hope you've all got your power back on ... #Olinda #TheBasin #DandenongRanges

24.01.2022 Spring weather is unpredictable Tuck a QueenB neck warmer in your bag or pocket and you won't get caught out when it suddenly turns chilly! These unique fabric wraps are the ultimate layering piece. On top of a jumper or under a jacket, they keep your neck warm on cool mornings without the itchiness of a woollen scarf. Tap to shop or link to our Etsy store in bio ... Kids' size available too #springweather #springinmelbourne #layeringclothing

24.01.2022 Goodbye 2020. I never really liked you anyway. Bring on 2021! ... Heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped me (and each other) through this weird one. Besides my dear friends and family, special shout-outs go to : @laurenwilliamsjewellery for the hilarious stories; @thestronglifeproject for dialing me in each day; @hempoilwanneroo for keeping my anxiety at bay ; and my beautiful, brave customers who visited the very limited editions of @belgravebigdreamsmarket #queenbseamstress #handmade #designermakers #australianartisan

22.01.2022 Getting in the Christmas spirit, or at least the mutant 2020 version of it! Anyone else love Christmas a ridiculous amount, but find it incredibly painful at the same time? I've finally learnt that nothing in life is conveniently black and white, just a big beautiful mess of grey - the positive mixed with the negative, the joy with the sadness. Hugs to you all as we exit the year together ... #christmas2020 #smallbusiness #designermakers

21.01.2022 QueenB fabric wrap scarves are the practical, eye-catching accessory for Melbourne's unpredictable spring weather Handmade in the Dandenong Ranges, they have snaps so they stay done up, are non itchy and come in a ridiculous array of patterns and colours Oh, plus there's kids' size too https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/QueenBseamstressAU ...

19.01.2022 Hey peeps! It's been a while. My creative juices have run dry and I haven't touched my sewing machine for well over a month. Feels like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for my last dregs of patience, resilience and strength And I know I'm not alone in that, #Melbourne #Stage4 this is tough, right? ... In fact, it's super shit. But, we'll get there in the end. Cos there's no other option. Don't beat yourself up for doing whatever it is you need to do, to get through this last stretch. I've recently learnt to be kinder to myself and I'm even getting slightly better at letting go and only focusing on the things I have control over (rather than the many, many things I don't.) Love and hugs to all the #melbournites And to the rest of Oz, you don't know what this has been like for us and I hope you never have cause to #covidsucks #inthistogether #staystrong

19.01.2022 GIFT IDEAS FOR DAD Want to get your dad something practical but definitely not boring this Fathers' Day? Neck warmers are the go - they wrap round the neck and stay there, no annoying ends or itchy wool to contend with. ... They sit easily with a jacket or jumper and allow freedom of movement when he's hiking, gardening, camping, motorbike riding, golfing, fishing or whatever other things outdoorsy things your Dad get might get up to https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/QueenBseamstressAU PS. we also do gift vouchers if you can't decide which one #fathersday #giftideasfordad #giftsforhim #fathersdaygifts

17.01.2022 Welcome to the weekend Hey peeps, hope you're safe and well and sane I'm the first two but not sure about the third! I had a very forgettable week as my reserves of patience finally evaporated. Yep, I've officially reached the end of my (normally very long) tether Thankfully, I can spend this weekend with The Husband and The Dog and do some things to reset and restore. Gonna be sunny so that's a help ... Look after yourselves, there's only 2 (ish / maybe / hopefully) weeks of #Stage4 left. You can doooo eeeet Melbs! #inthistogether #staysafestayhome #covidblues #melbournelockdown

13.01.2022 BIG NEWS!! I'm so thrilled to be listed in the @craftmarkets Virtual Market! Not quite as fun as being at an actual market, but beggars can't be choosers during Lockdown 2.0 This comprehensive online #marketplace is brought to you by the people behind the legendary Red Hill and Yarra Glen Markets. Yep, those people !! I started off this year with so many plans of growing my tiny business through selling at lots of craft and makers markets around #melbourne. My neck war...mers are at their best when they can be touched, tried on and understood in person. But my (and everyone else's) best laid plans for 2020 .... well, weren't they a naive dream looking back from here So I've pivoted my business as best I can while still working full time and am trying to get my #handmade goodies into cyberspace via social, my @etsy store and now the Virtual Craft Markets Australia. www.virtualcraftmarkets.com.au Thank you to everyone who's supported and encouraged my little enterprise, especially those brave enough to back it up with their #smallbusiness #sharethelove #craftmarketsaustralia #melbournelockdown

13.01.2022 KEEP IT LOCAL. KEEP IT SMALL Hey Melbs I've been basking in the relative freedom of the recent COVID restriction changes, no doubt you have too! As your circle of movement and choice expands, whether it be for shopping, eating or other services, please remember your local! Your local cafe, hardware store, gift shop, optometrist and so on. It's really tempting to join the rush back to the shopping centres and big box superstores. But please before you do, stop and thi...nk. They don't need your support or dollars! Not as much as the small business down the road. They're the ones who need you now - sole traders, mum n dad family businesses and tiny enterprises who've been completely slammed by COVID Think about where you're going to put your dollars and the effect it'll have on the future for small businesses and your local economy. You can make a positive difference. LIKE and SHARE to show your support for the little guys! Thank you #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #handmade #buylocal

10.01.2022 HAPPY FATHERS DAY This is my dad (can you tell ) and he is ace. Eternally wise, gentlemanly and unfailingly supportive of me, I couldn't ask for a better dad. He even likes showing off his @queenb.seamstress neck warmer to anyone who'll listen! It sucks I can't see him today but at least I know he's safe. Lucky it's 2020 and some smart person has invented video calls. . Much love and hugs to all the dads who are out there in body or spirit for their families ... . #fathersday #covidfathersday #fathersday2020 See more

08.01.2022 Reposted from @carter.bros cos i couldn't have said it better.... This year is a year where this question is, and very well should be asked more than ever. With constant hurdles being thrown our way, the look of the same four walls feeling oppressive and punishing. ... It’s OK to not be OK. Everyone is going through some shit, this year, a lot of it just happens to be the same shit. Reach out, show compassion, talk. Because reaching out could save someone’s life. See more

05.01.2022 I felt kinda numb after the Premier's latest Vic Covid update but then I came home to this furry cherub face. I think she is actually smiling If it feels like every element of life is beyond your control right now and certainty is some long forgotten concept from waaaay back in 2019, you are not alone! Hold on tight to the good things. ... Family Friends Pets Hell, a sassy GnT if that's what you need today Love and hugs to you all dear peeps, stay safe and stay strong #covid19 #lockdown2020 #inthistogether #cutedog #instadoggo

02.01.2022 Friday night retail therapy No not really, just buying hardware for #BumBags But spending money is absurdly easy when there's pretty colours involved Start safe and warm peeps, that's some serious rain hammering down out there .... #melbourneweather #friyay #weekendvibes #onlineshopping See more

01.01.2022 Is compulsive garment modification an actual thing? As in, jacket so new it still has tags on it and I decide (at stupid o'clock) that it needs 'fixing'?! Anyway, it fitted my top half but not my middle half, so now it does and I'm happy with the result. Slightly horrified at the rough original finish job hidden underneath the lining so I cleaned that up too .... #fixerupper #betterthanfactory #queenbseamstress #keeponsewing See more

01.01.2022 Super, super excited to finally be at a market again! See you there, beautiful peeps
