The week that was.

The week started with Audrey saying her first words, Da da Dad, that was pretty exciting, and she is pretty proud of herself. So now she says that in between blowing bubbles and flirting with customers.

The shop needed restocking. I worked on some rompers including one from vintage Ken Done fabric. I have had this fabric sitting in my pile for way too long (one day it was going to be made into a dress for myself, one day….)

I had lots of customers visiting from Melbourne, they walked away with lots of fabrics to work on their projects back home

I spent a whole day topping up key fobs and luggage tags. We joke that some gangs have patches, but if you are part of the Alie Jane gang you have a key fob hanging brightly from your keys

I have also topped up my clear zip cable/charger/ storage bags, who knew these would sell faster than I can sew

New fabric from Japan and a retro inspired cotton range has arrived in store. I couldn’t wait to sew the retro inspired range and deck out a new window. (even though I am still wearing my fun moon boot from a broken foot) The window now has flashing LED lights so you can see me at night.

This Saturday night I am off to Frock tails at Noahs’s. I am one of the sponsors. To attend, you need to wear a garment you have made. It has come around quicker than I expected and will probably wear the Tiki dress I made

This week I have been sewing satin sleep caps. These are the newest item to the Alie Jane range. I have black, blues, and today I sewed pink and red satin.

Until next time. Alie Jane, Audrey May and Geoffrey x
