My Creative Space - The Yardage Design Studio

Artwork by Geek Amour

I had a little bit of a creative adventure last week that I've been bursting to share. I just had to wait for a sneaky little surprise package to reach it's destination before I could spill the beans!

My cousin Iona and I headed to the Yardage Design Studio at Abbotsford Convent to partake in some fun screen printing.

Here's Nic preparing t-shirts for my nephews.

I've never had the chance to screen print before, and I'm quite sure that I asked about a billion questions (sorry Nic), but I learned sooooo much!

..... and here's the finished result. Brilliant!

In perfect timing, the Abbotsford Convent is having an Open Day this Sunday, so you can go and visit the Yardage Design Studio too.

Nic will have her entire range available for purchase on the day - all the details are here.

My Creative Space

It's better late than never today.

There was a mad rush to get an apron made for my cousin to use tomorrow (as we're off to have some secret squirrel fun).

She's just a young whippersnapper from the 80's..... and this was the one and only 1986 teatowel from the stash.

I teamed it with some glorious vintage fabric from Lynsey that came all the way from the UK. Quite fitting considering she's just moved here from chilly Scotland.

Suitcase Rummage - Thornbury Theatre

Are you looking for something fun to do tomorrow?

My cousin Iona has just moved to Australia, aaaaaaaall the way from Scotland.

She has a little online shop named Zinefan, where she stocks a fab range of mags, zines, and comics to suit all ages and interests.

She's taking her vintage suitcase full of Zines to the Suitcase Rummage at the Thornbury Theatre tomorrow (Sunday).  It's on from 11AM-4PM, and it's going to be a beautiful day!

Make sure you say hi!
