hey there auntchelle! thanks for your nice comment on my alice + olivia pants! I can't wait to see your version- good luck on ebay!

Thanks for your lovely comment on my dress. So you've probably been out-bidding me this whole time! I hope the re-creation process goes well for you, who needs a tablecloth when you have a lovely dress hey? Alice

Hi Auntchelle, thanks for your compliment on my Bellissima jacket.
I also noticed your post on the "Australian fabric stores - particularly online" post in the forum. Adelaide is fairly limited as far as the amount of stores to buy from but there are some good ones if you're willing to travel and don't want the really cheap rubbish that's found in Lincraft and Spotlight. Have a look at: - Catwalk Fabrics - Coglin Street Brompton - Glynburn Fabrics - Glynburn Road Firle (specialising in evening fabrics they had some amazing fabric that was $1000 per meter one time I was there!!!!). there are also some other stores around that area but they're not so spectacular. - Ferrier Fabrics - Fullarton Road - The Needleworks - Marion Road and another location but I can't remember where. - DK fabrics - Port Road (opposite entertainment centre) is a massive place with so much stuff it can be overwhelming. I often find exactly what I'm looking for there. Another little known treasure (and also where I picked up the fabric for Bellissima jacket) is Gaye Naffine, an Adelaide based designer. Gaye sells her remnants when she completes a seasonal collection. If you call her office (under Gaye Naffine in the phone book) you can be put on a mailing list and they let you know when it's on. They usually hold it in a community hall just off Fullarton Road so you could go to Ferrier's at the same time. Occasionally Miss Gladys Sim Choon (Rundle Street) sell the remnants from their designers for absolutely NIX! I have purchased some amazing knits and laces for $5 per piece for lengths of 2m or so. I haven't been to one of these for a while, but you could call and see if they still do them. There is also a bridal house somewhere in kent town that sells evening fabrics but the name slips my mind right now. If I want something really, really special, try d'italia. They're a Melbourne store but if you email them a photo of what you are making with some ideas of the type and colour of fabric you want, they'll send you some samples for free. Their stuff is italian and designer so the minimum price is usually around $50 per metre. Their website is: http://www.ditalia.com.au/ I hope this info helps you out and you find more inspiring fabrics from my suggestions. Regards and happy shopping Kerri

Hey thanks for your encouragement on my knitted dress. It's my first "creation" on the website and i really value your feedback :)

Hello Auntchelle, thank you so much for the nice comment on my red leg-of-mutton and polkadot Kasia. The colour combo does remind me a bit of Minnie Mouse :)

Hi again Auntchelle, I have seen the Plus edition at Borders, do you have Borders over west?
