winter 2011

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!!

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

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!

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 ...

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 ...

the mad XMAS rush

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

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!
