24.01.2022 Oooh tax time! My favourite time of year (it is soooo not). Trying to make sense of all those receipts and scribbled notes reminds me I should be far more organised and disciplined. Honestly Id rather be making, but this is a real situation for small biz people. How do you cope? Any tips welcomed. #Handmade #taxtime #profitandloss #Handmadeclothes #MadeInMelbourne #howdoyoudoit #womensclothing #clothesforwomen #WhoMadeYourClothes #SlowFashion #IMadeYourClothes #SmallBusiness #HandcraftMelbourne #Melbourne #Dressmaker #ILoveMyJob #melbourneiloveyou #supportlocal #melbournemakers #helloimhandmade #supportthemakers #handmadestyle #handmadewardrobe #ilovesewing #melbournemakers #wellmadeclothes

22.01.2022 Bendigo is already well known for its world-class art exhibitions, great restaurants and awesome wool mills, but have you ever been to a market at a bakery?? Soak up a lazy Sunday at @trovemarketbendigo in their unique location at the Good Loaf Sourdough Bakery in Hargreaves Street. I’m a first timer there this Sunday 18 April 10-2. See you there! xDeb... #bendigo #artgallery #restaurants #woollenmills #bakery #marketing bakery #sundaymarket #handmade #mothersday #kingstondressmaking #madebyme #womensclothing #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #oneofakind

22.01.2022 If you were wondering what happened to that fab red/pink heart fabric from @doopsdesigns, i made a #Nicola dress and a #Patricia top out of it. Super proud how they turned out. Theyre on the rack from today @piccadillymkt so pop in and have a gander if youre in the #geelong area. Thanks to the folk at @jetcourierservices Geelong for awesome pick up and delivery service. With a smile . Take care. Deb.

14.01.2022 Winter in the garden. I love this time of year. But then I love all seasons, except summer not so much - its too hot and bushfirey. And by the way dont be deceived by Daisys angelic face - shes the devil. Shes eaten my clothesline this morning! And that fabulous #orchid! It thrives on neglect and gives me a beautiful display every year. Time to get back to some #sewing. xDeb

10.01.2022 It starts tomorrow! @piccadillymkt general store pop up. I was down there setting up last week and let me tell you it was looking awesome. Just a leisurely drive down the highway to #north #Geelong, with easy parking out front of the @ninedots_buildadvocates studio. Get thee down there. XDeb

09.01.2022 The divine Jenni Love dress in dreamy cream roses. Theres only one of these pieces ever made. Its sized for a medium but will work for a small as well. Worn here with a cute skinny belt. Check it out online. xxDeb #bohostyle #creamroses

08.01.2022 Beyond excited. I bumped in this morning to the Piccadilly General Market pop up shop. It almost felt like a Market day. So good. And I was excited by all the amazing makers setting up. Wow. Get yourself done there ASAP! PS make sure you go to the right address - its unit 1 No.9 Douro Street North Geelong. (Not the other way around like I tried to find doh). But dont worry, there will be heaps of signage so youll find it easy. #gooddays #marketdays #geelong #ninedots #piccadillygeneralstore #piccadillymkt #shopsmall #supportthemakers #helloimhandmade #handmadeclothes

07.01.2022 First #market for me since March! Come along and join the fun at @therosestmarket next #sunday 8 November. Bring your friends!!! xDeb

07.01.2022 Maker as model. Sorry about that. But being in lockdown sometimes means doing things you normally wouldnt. Or shouldnt. I had fun with my new lighting and photo set up. Still learning. Anyhow the Nicola top is divine and available in two sizes in the online shop. Have a great day.

06.01.2022 Weve had a great first day at the @themelbmarketco #popup shop at @mooneepondscentral. Thanks to everyone who popped in to say hi. Were here again tomorrow 10-5. Would love to see you. xDeb PS we changed the window. What do you think?

06.01.2022 Thank you Small Business Victoria . You rock!

05.01.2022 How to find the grain. This denim fabric has been washed, dried and ironed. Im ready to lay and cut my pattern. But first im making sure I have a straight edge so my grain will be true. Easiest way is to tear across weft - it will tear along the weaving* line. (Probably not the right terminology lol). Follow me for more occasional #sewing tips.

05.01.2022 New addition to the #pink room. Thank you @elenimilionis

05.01.2022 Pattern making is not my strong suit so a little while back I took myself off to class at @the_pattern_making_class in Yarraville to refresh my skills and drink in the experience of Scott and Glenn. It was awesome. Would definitely recommend, and I have already put my name down for some more of their classes. #keeplearning #keeplearningkeepgrowing #patternmaking #patterndesign #newskills #skills #yarraville #melbourne #classes #dressmaking #dressmakingschool #dressmakingcourses #learnsomethingnew

05.01.2022 Ooooh. Lookie what just arrived in the mail - fabulous 1960s VINTAGE cotton in the most divine green. Thank you @funkiretro_vintagefabrics for hunting out this piece for me.

04.01.2022 If you happen to be down Brighton way, you simply must do yourself a favour and pop into @shophappens2 featuring simply divine handmade goodies from some of Melbourne’s most talented makers. xDeb

04.01.2022 15% of the worlds of offcast clothing is recycled in this small town. I’d love to visit.

04.01.2022 To celebrate multiple donuts for Melbourne I’m offering FREE SHIPPING until midnight Friday 6 November. xDeb

04.01.2022 Every cloud has a silver lining, or so they say. This weeks blog looks at changes at home. Hope you enjoy it. xxDeb

03.01.2022 All set up here at @themelbmarketco #popup shop in @mooneepondscentral. Im here today and tomorrow 10-5. Im sharing space with some fantastic makers. Get yourself here! xDeb xx

02.01.2022 This little jumper took me sooooo long to knit. She’s called the Jamieson cause that’s where I started her. Finished her in Ascot Vale about 12 months later! Made from 100% pure wool, she’s navy with a fleck texture. One of a kind - of course, and she fits a medium (AU12-14). DM if you’d like more information.

02.01.2022 Hey guess what Ive been doing? A new updated #webpage is live. Yay! I love it. Let me know what you think. A big thank you to @elenimilionis for being my amazing model. Also check out the new #competition. (See new webpage for all the details.) Take care and stay healthy. XDeb

01.01.2022 Another newbie. This time the Simone Shirt dress is made from cotton/linen blend. Huge pockets. Size large. One of a kind. Cant tag so go to my online store for more pix. Link in bio.

01.01.2022 So guess what I got for Christmas! Lots of indoor plants and beautiful blue pots. I’m going to try very hard to keep them alive. I love this little montage - the chair was my nana’s, the table was thrifted from gumtree, and the mirror and artwork have been with me it seems like forever. Every piece has meaning and sentimental value to me. It pulls at my heart every time I walk past.
