Marathon Sewing

It is amazing how much sewing you get done when you are not watching an election coverage!

I had a bit of a marathon sewing adventure yesterday and re-stocked my bags with some gorgeous prints, handprinted pippijoe, Thea and Sami and some yummy Japanese prints.

And I whipped up some media pouches for the savy shopper looking for a present for their dads.

Each pouch is quilted and fits a WD external hard drive, or iTouch. North Melbourne Market, come along and say "hi"!

Kaos at North Melbourne Market on Sunday

Days have been busy in Konstant Kaos land, but not in the crafty sense. We are at the business end of the teaching year, especially for Year 12's. We have 4 weeks left of Term 3 and then two weeks in Term 4 before the dreaded end of year exams start. So I guess my energies are focused elsewhere at the moment.

Every once in a while I steal a moment or two to create an item or two in my sewing room. But my mind drifts back to the school preparation and marking that I have to do and I guess I feel guilty for wanting to steal an hour of craft. This is what it is like at this time of the year especially if you are a Year 12 teacher. Bring on the September break so I can recharge my crafty batteries!

But on Sunday I get to spend the time doing a Market again. It has been far too long between markets and I am looking forward to showing off some of my groovy Japanese handbags and other goodies for Father's Day.

So come along and say hello! I am not sure when my next Market will be at this stage .. lots happening at the moment!

North Melbourne Market Sunday 27th June

I am finding it quite surreal to think that I have somehow survived the last 4 weeks. Lots happening in my life at the moment and consequently my blog post frequency (and sewing) has certainly dropped.

But fear not, we are back and at the North Melbourne Market at the Lithuanian Club, Errol Street on Sunday 27th June from 10am to 2pm. Konstant Kaos will be upstairs!

It is indoors and there is a great selection of crafty goodness on offer. Right in the heart of North Melbourne's Errol Street. Catch brunch and then rock on into the Thread Den market. Alternatively, do your Vic Market shopping and catch the tram up to Errol Street. Lots of possibilities!
