Cherry Reds

My last day at Kimono House. So last pics of fabric eye candy. A beautiful red kimono silk panel and other silks and cotton that have caught my eye.

I am off to the NGV birthday celebations this afternoon. Enjoy your weekend

Japanese Eco Bag

While keeping shop today I have made this beautiful cotton Eco bag from a kit and fabric from Kimono House. It will be perfect for my market shopping and I love the fact I can roll it up and pit it in it's own pouch.

Plum Jersey Dress

I am making another Jersey dress in this beautiful plum colour. I found a new fabric store at 444 HIgh St, Prahran called Preview. They have many international designer fabrics for sale. I had many jerseys to choose from but this plum colour caught my eye for an autumn/winter dress.

Stay tuned

Quinoa

Have you eaten or cooked Quinoa (Keen-wa). It's a superfood (grain) from south america and can be used like couscous. Its gluten free and low Gi too plus a good protein. It only needs 10 mins cooking 

I bought some recently from Mount Zero Farm

I made this delicious warm chicken salad with roast vegetables and Quinoa for dinner.
