Last minute photos ...

2011-11-04T02:20:00.000-07:00

So French, so chic!!
Little snippets of French icons printed on cotton and then patched together to make the panel on this skirt, love navy & white stripes!!

Lime green tie swing tops with neutral 3/4 pants,
great with everything and beautifully made, if do say so myself!!!

Close up of daughter number one in my natural summer
dress with feature panel, looks just lovely!

Just loved the light in this picture ...

A couple of last minute pictures taken of the girls this evening before i madly packed for Red Hill market. I have a great range of clothing available, from size 2 to 12, lots of denim skirts, swing tops in all colours and floaty summer dresses.
Perfect for the great weather we are going to have tomorrow!!

This is what has been happening ...

2011-10-22T23:01:00.000-07:00

Never seem to get around to posting on my blog very much, have all the best intentions and then life gets in the way.
So you may have been wondering what has been happening here, well we have welcomed two new members to the Di Stefano household, 'Ginny' and 'Luna' (Harry Potter inspired) gorgeous pets for the girls that have the best rabbit hutch & pen i have seen in a long time, built by husband who was inspired (and strongly guided by youngest daughter!!). Will post photo soon!!
I have managed to bulge a disc in my back which means I have been unable to sew or do anything interesting for two weeks now, lots of trips to the physio, walking and exercises! I do feel better but I also feel that it may be a while before I am back to normal!! Sadly I have had to cancel a couple of markets because i don't feel that i will be able to make enough stock, but I will still be around at a few local events.
I have managed to patchwork a cushion this weekend, which is going to be a project to make in my new business venture that I will tell you about soon.
Take care Em x

Spring is in the air

2011-09-19T04:16:00.000-07:00

The gorgeous weather we had today made me realise that Summer is just around the corner, time to share with you some of my summer pieces. These necklaces just look like Summer, bright & colourful or soft & pink, they look great hanging on the clothes line near the lemon tree.

I am very happy with my spring/summer collection, I have so much that I want to make, skirts, dress and tops, with a variety of colourful accessories.

Making one off handmade pieces using a variety of materials and some hand stitching is time consuming but I want yknot designs to be different from what you see at the shops.

Here I am ...

2011-08-09T05:20:00.000-07:00

I am getting going on the Spring/Summer market stock ... material bought (love it all and always want to buy more!!) designs almost figured out, some samples sewn. Just need to wind myself up a bit and get moving. Have started slightly earlier this season, but still have a mountain of work to complete, November looks like the busiest month, Markets on every weekend.
I have also been working on some patterns to go in the shop, and this is a lovely picture of me showing my reversible bag in gorgeous linen from here.
Don't you love the prominent view of my iron!
Great design, happy with shape and size, I am looking forward to teaching some classes on how to make it.

what have i been doing???

2011-07-20T01:48:00.000-07:00

So, it's been a while since my last market ... can't even remember which one it was (terrible I know), what have I been doing? Well ... have looked around my new studio/office (more about that later) and realised that I have an extraordinary amount of material, in all shapes and sizes, and I really need to start doing something with it. This has coincided with me getting a job at the local sewing & material store, can I honestly justify buying more material? Well no, but it seems to somehow happen.
Anyway I started to have a look at the many patchwork project that come into the shop, whilst many of them are not my style or taste they are still amazing and a great way of using up 'scraps' of fabric (of which I have many). So here above is the beginning of my first patchwork quilt, pieced together with scraps old and new ... now how to turn it into something that can work with yknot? designs ...because starting out was quite difficult - why do they still use inches? what is a quarter inch foot and do I really need one ...? what is the name of the squares I am making? and why are some quilts so daggy when there are some beautiful fabrics available? I have decided to make a beginner quilt pattern - something that will help beginners, it's basic, straight sewing, not a lot of matching corners, its a free size but would work in a cot (maybe a bit on the small size) - on your lap in front of the telly or for a baby on the floor - but really it was only intended to be a beginners project that would inspire people to sew - kids could manage it!!

So, that is what i have been doing ... a quilt pattern and maybe some material to get you started will be available at the next Piccadilly Market in Geelong. Stay tuned for the photo of my new studio/office - just need to tidy it up so I can take a decent photo of it. Em x

Open house

2011-06-22T19:18:00.000-07:00

I never seem to get around to blog posts, unless something is going on ... so here it is now, I am having an open house on Thursday 30th June from 9am-3pm, I would love anyone to drop in and say hello, the coffee machine will be on and I will bake my yummy chocolate cake ... bargains a plenty and 25% off everything!!

Buy some clothes for your kids before the holidays, pick up a present, perhaps even a summer bargain or two ...

Looking forward to see you then. Emma x

P.S Have been busy with heaps of various things, will update soon (I promise)

Piccadilly Market

2011-05-09T04:39:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of blog posts, but I am still here and writing, sewing & creating ... just letting my lovely customers & friends know that I will be at Piccadilly market this weekend for their 'small people' show ... don't forget my clothes are available from size 4 to 10.

Magnolia Square now on ...

2011-04-27T04:29:00.000-07:00

Here are two hurried photos of the kids in the latest 'yknot?' clothing,
I have been working towards Mag Sq event for a long time and yet still seem to finish everything at the last minute ... the charcoal denim dress with a cord tie around the middle was finished this afternoon and the gorgeous blue denim smock (a new favourite) a couple of days ago!

I am pleased to say they are in the car, beautifully ironed (by Mum) and ready to go to Magnolia Square which is opening tomorrow 10am-9pm, Friday 10am-5pm and Saturday 10am-4pm.

Would love to see you there!

yknot? come and see me at Magnolia Square ...

2011-04-05T17:07:00.000-07:00

Long time between posts ... I can't wait until the next Magnolia Square event at the Malvern Town Hall, it will be the first time I have been there in such a long time, I have a great new range of clothing and accessories and a couple of new items that will be ready, just for this event!

Look out for the new yknot? designs 'classic' range!!

real models

2011-03-22T00:38:00.001-07:00

I did my photo shoots today ... boys, daughters, lots of outfit changes, very hands on, nothing professional going on here, but I have got some great results, here are two of the photo's that I have edited just for fun.
My clothes look so much better on real models than the coat hanger, in fact I am delighted with the look of the whole range, I am looking forward to showing it this weekend at Finders Keepers.

cuffs ...

2011-03-21T04:26:00.000-07:00

I spent ages taking photos of my new look stand at Piccadilly Market on the Weekend and this is the one that I like the most, don't my new season cuffs look cute!

I am loving this ...

2011-03-10T03:33:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the clever people at Finders Keepers I now know a new website to edit photos, this is my first go ... very happy with results!
Out there in blog land or website world I am sure you already knew this existed - but why has it taken me so long??

more images

2011-03-06T01:31:00.000-08:00

I have tried to take more images of my new products, I really need the live models to be involved and had planned to do it today, however I sold a lot of my new range of necklaces and clothes at Red Hill on Saturday (yippee!). I need to quickly make some more so I can take pictures of the kids as soon as possible!
Above is a picture of the newest necklace I have made and the one I sold out of on Saturday and also the tops I am making, both the printed one (a loose over-shirt with pocket) and the long sleeve longer length t-shirt top.
Below are my gorgeous velvet ribbon bow clips, don't you just love the colours?

... here it comes ...

2011-03-01T03:24:00.000-08:00

I am now almost ready to show my Winter 2011 range, the last few necklaces were completed today, belts tomorrow and a few more long sleeve tops. The above photo shows a glimpse of my Winter skirt and also a long sleeve top (stripe), funky strong colours and a cool design.

This photo is of the almost completed necklace, still a denim bird but slightly different, what do you think?

I am really pleased with how it is all coming together, however it does feel like i have been working on it for ages, I promise (Mum) next year that I will be better organised and not so last minute panic!

yknot? for boys!

2011-02-20T01:55:00.000-08:00

This Winter I will introducing a small but fantastic range of tops & belts for boys. I have made a long sleeve top in navy & grey stripe with a funky denim dog on the front, the other top is all grey with a charcoal denim shark! Available in size 2, 4 & 6.

Here is a sneak preview of one of the tops ...

winter 2011

2011-02-02T16:41:00.000-08:00

I am having difficulty uploading more that one picture and then putting it where I want ... I have done it before but can't remember what to do ... I'll try again!!

Anyway I have been working on my colours and styles for this coming season
... what do you think?

Fabric has been ordered, just need to sew up some samples and get going ...

I am also working on a range for boys!!!

So many customers ask if i make things for boys, and finally the answer will be 'yes', I will have long sleeved t-shirts and a range of belts, I will be making size 2,4 & 6 and maybe 8 - I might wait and see if that size is requested.

The boys range will have a strong navy & red theme with also a grey, neutral & orange.

So that is where i am at ... kids are back at school, house is organised and clean ... I am ready to go, I look forward to seeing you at future markets!!

Emma

... what I have been up to ...

2011-02-02T16:19:00.001-08:00

I know you are wondering what I have been up to lately, hopefully some of these pictures will explain what has been happening in the house of 'yknot?'

First of all I have been at a few markets, Inverloch with the lovely girls from Mookah and the Mornington Market, selling all my summer range at discounted prices, this weekend (5th Feb) I will be at Red Hill where all my kids clothing will be at $20 each or less, I still have a variety of sizes available, 'yknot' buy something to put away for next year or get some fantastic birthday presents!!

I also decided it was time for a re-arrange and major tidy up in my office, shelves have been moved, material folded, things thrown out ... it really was out of control! I now feel that I have made more space and feel more organised. I am just waiting now for husband to make me a desk that goes along one wall so I can spread out my sewing machines rather than being cramped on the one small table (it's really tiny). I also have plans for a feature wall and some mounted shelves to complete the space, will post photo when it is done.

SALE! SALE!

2011-01-17T16:50:00.000-08:00

I will be at Mornington Market this Sunday, selling my summer clothes at reduced prices, I have a range of styles and sizes still available. If you can't make it to the market and are interested in something then please email me and I will see what I have and post it to you!

I am busy working on Autumn/Winter 2011 (well as much as you can during the school holidays!!), it will be ready to be launched in March.

... the next generation ...

2011-01-02T15:57:00.001-08:00

Welcome to my first post for 2011, it has taken me a while to get back into the swing of things after Christmas and the mad Market rush ...

I got the kids a great Christmas present (well I thought so!!), a sewing machine and here is Bella my eldest giving it a go ... there is potential, the next generation "YKNOT?" she is patient and very precise which is a fantastic!

Here is to lots of sewing projects ...

this is where yknot? designs will be ...

2010-11-23T18:30:00.000-08:00

the mad XMAS rush

2010-11-18T02:10:00.000-08:00

I have so many things going on at the moment, the crazy weeks are just beginning ... Magnolia Square being one of them, you will be able to see me in two states over the next two weeks, the first event is in Adelaide at the gorgeous Norwood Concert Hall.
I have been busy making some great new products that I am sure will be a big hit!!

new post

2010-11-10T01:56:00.000-08:00

Wow! Long time no post, can you believe a month has passed by, what have I been doing??

Well ... I have had a few markets, Red Hill and Magnolia Square, a monster virus invaded my computer (very annoying!) and I have been developing some new products.

My busy time is fast approaching and I am going to find myself in two states (SA and VIC) and two markets (Magnolia Square Adelaide and Christmas at the Studio - Merricks Nth) at the same time.

A week later I will also be in two places at once,
Red Hill December Market and Magnolia Square St Kilda.

How do you manage stock for four events?
How do I know what will sell?
Any ideas let me know...

But apart from that tomorrow night I will be at the
Malvern Primary Twlight Christmas Market, showing all my lovely yknot? designs.

Hope to see you there!
Em xx

a wedding

2010-10-10T02:29:00.000-07:00

It was a glorious weekend, the weather on the Mornington Peninsula was beautiful. A perfect time for a wedding, my cousin got married. It was the first time my girls had seen a 'bride' and they weren't disappointed.
She looked gorgeous ... dress, flowers, hair, everything ... even the venue was beautiful and they had the perfect Friday afternoon.

... yes a wrist cuff/bracelet ...

2010-10-06T04:05:00.000-07:00

After chatting to a friend at Red Hill Market, she informed me that it took her ages to work out what the image was of in my photo.

Obviously I have necklaces on the chair and a belt, but the other item was a mystery ...

Let me explain, it is a fabulous NEW wrist cuff or bracelet, made from some gorgeous fabrics, lots of frills and joined around the wrist with press studs. I have them in both collections and truly believe you will love them.

Come and see my them and other great products at Magnolia Square
October 21, 22 and 23.

school's back ...

2010-10-04T02:18:00.001-07:00

This is what my kids have spent a great deal of time doing on the holidays, and yes it was by choice!! Both of them are mad for 'monkey bars' or just 'bars' as the 10 year old says, and because we don't have any they improvised
(as kids do).
The trampoline gets moved under the flying fox line and they hook themselves over the cord and they do 'tricks', it has kept them entertained for hours and I (and any visitor) have spent many minutes/hours watching the latest trick/flip.

We have had a great holiday, visit to the Peninsula Hot Springs, weekend at Phillip Island, many sleepovers, a couple of movies and heaps of other things!!

But we are ready to go back to school ... I really need more time at the sewing machine!!

a beautiful Sunday ...

2010-10-03T04:01:00.000-07:00

What to do on a perfect October Day? Gardening/Weeding ...

For my friends and family (and fellow bloggers!) here is a picture of our front garden bed - without weeds!
(It's amazing I know)

Kind father-in-law and equally kind husband weeded this garden bed this morning and what a difference it has made, I plan on mass planting some grasses and then back filling with mulch (of course).
My job was to take all weeds to fire pile and prune trees, which I hope will grow more now that they are not being suffocated by weeds.

old & new images ...

2010-09-27T05:37:00.000-07:00

After reading the Mag Sq post about the Polaroid tool that you can use
I decided to give it a go and here are the results.
I used an old photograph of myself, wasn't I cute, missing teeth and all!!

and also a picture from my current range!
I love the results, something different and fun.

our tree

2010-09-22T04:59:00.001-07:00

While I have been busy sewing and making stock for upcoming markets,
our tree has been slowly coming to life!
This is the view as you look out our main window, the most gorgeous tree ever, and the beginning of Spring it is at it's best, long tassels appear in a beautiful pink hue, getting longer and longer until they blow off in the breeze and the leaves come out the top.

Such a wonderful sight - this means Spring to me.

sweet pea collection ...

2010-09-14T01:51:00.000-07:00

I am drip feeding you images of my new summer collections while I get my website organised.

Another great image, my three-quarter pants/long bloomers in slate grey, front pockets, contrasting side zip (size 6-10) and matching ties around the leg (sewn in) and best of all adjustable elastic!! I am delighted with these pants, they match back with everything in my collection.
Available in size 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10.

Soft pink ruffle tee, layered lace necklace with bow and gorgeous butterfly headband ... more to come!!

love this photo

2010-09-09T20:17:00.000-07:00

I just love this photo - red towelling beach dress with hood and side pockets,
blue spot trim around the hood.
Fantastic!!

photo shoot summer 2010

2010-09-09T04:40:00.001-07:00

A couple of sunny days and now I am ready for spring/summer, we had a photo shoot after school today, the sun was shining and suddenly it all made sense.
The beautiful styles and fabrics I have been working with the last few months have all come together with my best range ever.

I have two collections this season - my biggest yet!

The 'Sweet Pea' Collection of clothing is partly represented in the first two photos; slate grey, pinks & pale yellow come together with a fantastic range of co-ordinating accessories which I will be uploading to my website this coming week.

More images and information to come.

My second collection 'Summertime' is bold with denim, red & navy - always a classic colour combination. Fantastic denim shorts, not too short and not too long - very 50's inspired with a cute red zip, striped singlet tops and a red beach dress that will slide on easily after the beach/pool/day out.

You will love this range!!

Spring is here!

2010-09-01T05:18:00.000-07:00

Can you believe that Spring is here, and what a rainy day it was!
Did you know the last 6 Wednesdays have been wet?
Why do I know this?
Well, my daughter was supposed to be doing tennis and it has been
washed out every week.

Anyway back to more important things ... new range is coming together, I made some fabulous cuff's today - a bracelet with fabric, I love them!

New photo on website, check it out here

more summer looks ...

2010-08-28T00:20:00.000-07:00

Although it's hard to image it ever becoming warm, when it has been so cold and wet, with September starting next week, the beginning of Spring is almost here, a perfect time to show you some of my new 'sweet pea' collection.

These images are just the beginning ... more beautiful designs to come,
my best collection yet!!

See a sneak peak at few of my Summer designs at
Red Hill Market this coming Saturday.

... new necklaces ...

2010-08-24T02:42:00.000-07:00

Mum will kill me for putting up this picture ... but here goes ...

... here are two images of my new necklaces for my summer 'sweet pea' collection, and a picture of mum putting them together.

A labour of love, each shape has to be traced, cut out, sewn, stuffed, sewn again, trimmed and then pinned and sewn onto the necklace, Mum is pinning the shapes I have made and threading on the multi-coloured beads (which have to be drilled - thanks Husband), later I will stitch them all together.

A lot of effort - but don't they look gorgeous!
I have these and much more to come, all fabulous fresh summer colours!
&
also a new logo and look is on the way!

close-ups

2010-08-10T04:05:00.000-07:00

vines tangled and weathered,
pruning done,
collected and placed in a pile.

striped tops at the recent Piccadilly Market

a new idea, more to come!

favourite recipe ...

2010-08-04T05:03:00.000-07:00

This yummy recipe was given to me by my friend Cecile in France, and I have made it many times, it is a definite crowd pleaser, beautifully set custard with the crunchy burnt sugar on the top.

It has become a tradition in my family to give a recipe book for a kitchen tea, as my cousin is getting married soon this is my contribution to the recipe book.

I also thought it makes a great blog post! A photo of me and the kids in Paris, a place that I adore and where I spent six months of my life as an exchange student! We are looking at a map working out the fastest route to the 'Arc de Triomphe.'

a yknot favourite

2010-07-26T17:27:00.001-07:00

I have been making belts for about two years, they were one of the first products that I developed, I love how they make a simple outfit of jeans and a t-shirt look great.

Piecing together the fabric is my favourite part, there are so many combinations available, the photos above are from my pink and green range, I will have these and more at Piccadilly Market this Sunday.

Belts are available in two sizes, 2-6 years (approx) and 6+ years, depending on the size of the tummy.

birthday cupackes ...

2010-07-15T21:52:00.000-07:00

... even though there is talk that macaroons are the new cupcake, I thought I would show you a picture of the cupcakes I made for my daughters birthday ... not professional but cute all the same and a fantastic recipe to boot ... you can find it here

school holidays ...

2010-07-13T04:21:00.000-07:00

We are lucky enough to have a holiday house (well Mum & Dad's) at Ventnor on Phillip Island, a gorgeous place that we escape to every school holidays for a few days.

Winter is my favourite time. Fire on, lots of magazines, a few books, yummy food and walks along the empty beach.

We are very spoilt!

a new stockist

2010-07-01T22:16:00.001-07:00

I am pleased to say that you can now find yknot? products at Robert Gordon Australia, a gorgeous selection of necklaces, belts and brooches.
I am very excited to be associated with such an established household name.

... a beanbag ...

2010-06-23T17:33:00.001-07:00

In a promise to my daughter that I would 'renovate' her bedroom, this is my starting point, a beanbag and floor cushion.

It has taken me two (that's right 2) whole days to put together a bean bag for my daughter, it is very generous, I drafted the pattern from one at home and somehow made it twice as big. Couldn't get my inner bean bag in and had to unpick the side and sew it back up again. I have visions of her jumping on it and splitting the seams.

Also made a round floor cushion, which is ok, not really happy with how the base turned out, and the cushion is pretty lumpy. But I have a very happy 10 year old customer who is delighted that I am finally getting around to doing her room.

I am going to leave the homewares to the girls from Mookah, and continue to concentrate on my gorgeous range of accessories and clothing!!

.

always time for a coffee

2010-06-21T05:50:00.000-07:00

After dropping my parents off at the airport last weekend at a very early hour, I treated myself to a coffee at Brunetti's. I must admitt the place has changed significantly since I was at Melbourne Uni and I used to ride my bike past the window and gaze longingly at the amazing cakes, however it does still remind me of breaks between lectures, morning tea in the woodwork studio and my husband.

In fact I sent this photo to him ...

... back from Sydney ...

2010-06-12T00:14:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of images from our Sydney trip ... not as many as I would like as I left my fancy new camera at home ... sob!

Thanks to Festival Girl for the second image you can have a look at her blog here

... new photo shoot

2010-05-31T05:57:00.000-07:00

My darling children kindly agreed to model my new clothing and accessories that I am taking to Magnolia Square in Sydney, here are some of the photos.

I will have more images in a look book at the event or online in the Gallery section of yknot? designs.

Halls Gap ...

2010-05-27T04:19:00.000-07:00

In between the chaos of preparing for Magnolia Square in Sydney, we had a weekend away at Halls Gap in the beautiful Grampions with a group of friends.
The most perfect weather, a clear, still, cold (freezing) morning, gave way to glorious sunny day for our climb to the Pinnacle and then MacKenzie Falls. The team of kids (9!!) lead the way and almost ran up the rocks right to the top, with the grown-ups huffing and puffing behind. The view from the top was fantastic and well worth the climb ...

... butterflies ...

2010-05-20T18:12:00.000-07:00

... another new product on the way, butterfly scarves ...

... a morning view ...

2010-05-18T19:10:00.000-07:00

... the view out our the bathroom window this morning, I am very lucky to live on a gorgeous part of the Mornington Peninsula, the sun was rising across the vines highlighting the spider webs, it just looked beautiful.

new scarves ...

2010-05-17T20:31:00.000-07:00

Long time no post, I have been working on new products to take to Sydney for Magnolia Square and also trying to get my online store up and running (any day now!).
This is the first image of one of my new products, a scarf, made from t-shirt material that is super stretchy and soft, perfect for kids.
More new products to come ...

amazing Adelaide

2010-05-03T05:08:00.000-07:00

yknot? designs had a wonderful time in Adelaide for Magnolia Square, we were warmly received by all. The shoppers who came to the three day event at the Norwood Concert Hall would have seen a fantastic range of quality and unique wares from designers, artists, makers and craft people from all over Australia.

I am delighted to report that all of my new range was enthusiastically embraced and I sold out of many products on the first day!! My butterfly puffy necklace in green & pink (as pictured above) and blue & red were the best sellers.

Look out for them in my on-line store to be launched next week.

thanks!

2010-04-15T05:39:00.000-07:00

A quick blog post...

With Magnolia Square next week in Adelaide, the last minute panic/rush has started, only five days until we leave and so much to do!
Today I had an extra hand ... thanks to my lovely Mum who operates this great B&B on the Mornington Peninsula, spent the day with me packaging up necklaces, sewing tiny red buttons on birds & generally helping me with bits and pieces.

I really should be making birds, instead I have spent most of this week, trying to find suppliers of striped t-shirt material ...

the dissection was fun, the kids had a ball, putting on the lab coats, gloves, using the dissection kit, here is the poor lamb's heart before it had been chopped and parts identified!!

headbands

yknot? designs had a great time at Magnolia Square in St Kilda, it was a hive of activity, with customers pouring in to have a look at the beautiful wares.
One customer couldn't make it but still wanted to get some headbands. I scanned these a couple of minutes ago for her and thought that they looked so colourful that I should share the picture.
Life is back to normal, I am off to B's school tomorrow to assist the grade 4's in the disection of a heart!!!
