Up and coming markets

I'm lucky enough to be part of great markets in November and December.

Northside makers is a craft collective based in the Northern suburbs run by three ambitous crafty ladies. The idea is that markets are held in the summer and making can be done in the winter. The next market is on the 28th November 10:30am-3:30pm at the Northcote Uniting Church in Northcote, 251 High St Northcote.

on the 4th december i'll be at twighlight market run by Camberwell Baptist from 7pm onwards.

And on the 7 December, Borders Carlton is accomadating myself and 9 other makers to present "Where Craft Meets 3053". This is an awesome opportunity for me but also to check out some lovely books for christmas and maybe a hand-crafted creations as well.

Artists such Finki, Mrs Beckinsdale, Betty and Hamish, Found and Bound, Konsant Kaos, Cserpant Art, Cat MacInnes, Our Sweet William and me Made by Sarah.

Should be a great market, it's also cheap Mondays at the Nova, so you could see a movie then check out the market. i was lucky enough to be able to choose which makers appeared at this market. they make beautiful things, so come down and see us.

So those dates are

28th November Northisde Makers Market from 10:30am

Made By Sarah at Northside makers- A successful day!

Well, after a rush of getting ready, making ten babushkas and photographing them this morning for etsy, i had a great day at the northside makers market at the northcote uniting church. my work was well received, which is always nice. chatted to some friendly makers and some customers as well. was very encouraged.

here are some pics of the day my sister was very good helper and kep the stress, down to minimum. It was extremely sunny but cooled down in the arvo and i thought i was going to rain.

Made By Sarah at Northside makers

Hello friends,

I'm making an appearance Northside Makers first market at Northcote Uniting Church. Saturday October 10, from 10:30 to 3:30. I'm selling my brooches, pendants and hand-printed babushka dolls. Would love to see lots of people there. It's a great little group, to share crafty ideas and sell stuff as a collective.

Hope to see you there

I've stitched enough babushka faces to fit in a little jar. so i have a jar of faces, how cute!

Imogen&Lucy web page

A proposed webpage design for the imogen&lucy brand. A range of products you could potentially purchase.

Imogen&Lucy maternity sleepwear

Here's an image of recent project i did, creating maternity sleepwear for the online market.

I screen printed 5 meters of fabric for the garment, got professionally made and photographed.

It was my own hand-drawn interpretation of Indian ethnic designs.

A friend who's a professional photographer took these gorgeous photos of my work. Perfect for publicity! yay, so professional looking!

S

I made" zing" the cat from the "meet me at mike's" craft book. it's so cute! i made it for my new baby neice!

Well, hoping that i'll have more people viewing this, i'll post some of my other work on here.

These are some of my prints from this year, inspired by blue china ceramics and contemporary Scandanavian design. The scarf was inspired by Melbourne's meeting places and melways maps of places I've lived. Hope you enjoy.

A rewarding dat at craft hatch

Well, what a rewarding day at craft hatch. I was very encouraged to hear that people have already heard about my work through craft hatch. just then i checked this women's blog (her name's jennie and she makes gorgeous tram cushions) and she mentioned my work as "inspiring"!!! So encouraging. So i had a successful day, a few opportunities arose and few networks made in the world of craft. very exciting!!!

And another thought, who ever is following me so far, I have a stall at the craft victoria hatch market this weekend. it's a great chance for emerging designers, like myself to gain market exposure. so if your in the city, pop along to the city library in Flinders Lane in the city and i'll be there.

this is a link to their website, if your interested.
