Day 57-100 days project

When I first saw this jacket, I thought the zips were all too much and it wasn't till the next day I went back and got it...but now I love this 1960's raincoat. Five dollars...a bargain!

Day 56-100 days project

Great little wool jacket. I wonder if it was ever part of a suit? I love the fit and attention to detail in retro clothing.

Day 54-100 days of design project

Flash back to bay city rollers. I don't wear this jacket much. I always feel like I am wearing an old tartan dressing gown...yet it has nice detailing and black duffle buttons.

Day 53-100 days of design project

Love the colors in this skirt. A great one to wear in Autumn.

Day 50-100 days project

A skirt from the hospice for 50 cents with old buttons sewn around the hem and necklace made from hospice buttons. The jacket is also from the hospice. Lovely soft leather.

Day 49- 100 days project

Nice Day to acknowledge John and Jane Adams. My Dad died 12 years ago today and the locket is of my Great great great Grandad John Adams on his 25 wedding Anniverary 25 December 1903 ish. They are buried in Lane Cove, Sydney. Jane is on the reverse side.

Day 47- 100 days project

Odd little top the pleats do my head in.. BUT love the orange. The label says made in Hawaii. Another knitting bag. So Functional.

Day 46- 100 days project

Not worn for a while. But love the geometric pattern. I have quite a collection of the knitting bags....as you would expect......in purple, orange, brown, yellow....functional. Love them.

Day 44- 100 days project

Whoops! Posted out of order! This top is a wacky little optical illusion and very synthetic. Photo by Ella aged 12

Day45-100 days project

Another jacket! This has a silver thread going through it that didn't photograph well. The bag is wacky. My guess is that the bag is handmade. It has elaborate detail and macrame work.

Day 43-100 days of design

I have a vague feeling these jackets were called Safari jackets? This one has a great belt with a plastic buckle (not shown here). It has well thought out details that don't muck with the crisp clear design.

Day 41- 100 days of design project

Got to love orange and brown! The top is actually really a sparkly gold colour...but that didn't come out very well in the photo.

New work

Just had a bisque firing! Looking forward to glazing and making them all shiny!

Day 40-100 days of design project

Pretty gloomy day on Day 40.....so pulled out a bright top from the box of retro tops. A long time favourite. Love the combination of patterns and colours!

A crazy little jacket.  I have picked up a few of these over the years...all in crazy designs.

Day 38-100 days project

A smock that I got at the hospice and added a bit of colour with some material from an old 'tea towel' for pockets. Not my favourite item of dress, but great for school. I teach 5 year olds. Pockets are very handy.

Day 37-100 days project

A while back I went through a phase of sewing lace crochet on everything! I do not buy new clothes (apart from knickers and bras)....so modify 'bits and bobs' I find. This skirt has been thrashed. I usually wear it with the necklace below by Wellington designer Black Swan. I found the lace in a skip bin that I climbed into. That is a long story!
