Ironfest Photos Part 1

 Ironfest in Lithgow


Saturday 20th April

The Time Machine. It seems to be being guarded. Probably a good thing, you wouldn't want the events of Morlock Nights to come true.



Stacey and Lady Chatsalot. Lady Chatsalot made the hat with the working clock herself. If you live anywhere near Sydney, it will soon be available in the Gallery Serpentine store!


Damien, a Steampunk gentleman in a smashing purple coat!


The stall for The Tattered Tower, a lovely and inspiring little business. Look at the beautiful things she made!




Lovely Steampunk ladies. Me, Stacey, Lady Chatsalot and Kathleen.


The Steampunk Suppliers store and some of their amazing wares! They make handmade leather goods.

The most adorable little peg dolls! I remember making these as a kid, but none so nice as these!

An aviator who flew in for Ironfest with his engines still strapped onto him. Unfortunately he seems to have run into some pigeons on the way, look at the back propeller!


Stormtrooper! Argh!


These lovely people fix up old sewing machines and can convert newer ones to hand crank! How wonderful!

Quilt Cover to Cottagecore Dress!

Image
This one has been a long time coming! I took a lot of breaks due to some issues and learned a lot along the way! It all began when I found a secondhand quilt cover with two really pretty patterns: I used my go-to pattern for the skirt. I went with the longer length skirt (view A and B) with the ruffle from the edge of the quilt cover on the bottom. The ruffle. I initially cut out a different bodice but I didn't like the fit. I d ecided to combine the two different fabrics into a Gunne Sax inspired dress with the bodice cut from remainders of both fabrics and a different bodice pattern.  The bodice pattern I chose. The new bodice pieces. After that I abandoned the project for quite some time. The centre bodice and side front pieces refused to line up right. I checked and made sure I had cut them out right and I had. I received advice that I needed to notch them and they finally lined up!  For the sleeves I had a limited amount of fabric so I had to go with quite small cap sleeves. G

Update

 Hi there, it's been a long time since I visited blog land!  Life has been really busy and I have not had any time to write or make videos! Blogging and commenting have fallen by the wayside of my schedule! Thanks to lovely Bracken for asking about my stories, I have written a couple of short stories but I haven't had time to edit them. I am thinking of self publishing a little short story collection but I haven't had time for that either! I have had a few adventures and done some crafts, hopefully I will get around to posting pictures eventually!

Melbourne Day 5 and 6

Image
 DAY 5  THURSDAY: Melbourne CBD A little sparrow at the markets, I think he was waiting for his coffee order. Vegan cupcakes at the market On Thursday morning we caught the tram to the Queen Victoria Markets. I got another iced decaf coffee. Jon got a breakfast burger. The market was only partway full (there were so many empty spaces) and most of it was the same cheap clothes, tourist merchandise and expensive leather goods. We got a couple of cute presents and a Wednesday tee for $20. We did get a Melbourne magnet for our fridge because I realised a while back having cheesy merchandise from holidays is fun.  After looking around the markets, we headed back to the deli hall for lunch (the food court was closed for renovations). I grabbed a vegan pie and a Biscoff cupcake from a Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse. The pie was really amazing!  Jon got prosciutto and salmon wrapped cream cheese . There weren't really many places to sit as there was no food court and most of the seats wer
