Snap: Britex Fabrics


Guess where I am?! That's right, San Francisco!! We're almost half way through our great US road trip. We've been to Yellowstone and Yosemite as well as Salt Lake City. A truly amazing country to travel through. Today we were real tourists and did the double decker tour bus around San Francisco. Of course I dragged them all to Britex Fabrics. I got a few special pieces. Photos to come. 


Until next time !

Snap: My Week


Life according to my phone this week has been busy! But, hey!, what's new??

We went in to the city last weekend as a family to do some errands, explore the laneways and eat crepes. Unfortunately, we had to leave Mr Sew Brunswick in there as he had an excessive amount of work to do. Mr N has been watching me pose for photos for this little blog and is getting quite good at posing. We were in the lane next to David Jones, between Little Collins and Bourke Street. He wasn't too sure about street art. It must be a bit confusing for a little kid. He's always being told not to draw on the furniture or walls and then people paint all over the buildings!!

My Anise jacket is coming along nicely. I discovered I had one shoulder quite a lot lower than the other. In this photo I'm wearing only one should pad. That was a quick fix to my lopsidedness. I hope to finish the jacket lining this afternoon as the boys are playing together quite nicely. That could change at any moment!

I briefly watched a performance by a group of singing undergraduates from Harvard. They were highly entertaining.

Mr N seems to be quite the artist. He is always drawing and colouring. He loves it!! I've finally succumbed to putting magnets on my fridge. It only took 4.5 years of motherhood to come around to the idea...

I've been running again. So far, so good. Although the stress fracture is a little sore after running with the boys yesterday. We went to Royal Park on a stormy morning. It is a great park for scooting and running. There's not a lot of people around and the boys can scoot away without worrying too much about cars and people. It also has this amazing view over the city.

After mentioning last week that I really wanted to buy more of this fabric for a maxi dress. Lisa kindly sent me an email saying they had 2.6m left in the Melbourne store. I quickly snatched it up! It's already washed and ready. I just can't decide between a sleeveless maxi and a cap sleeved midi dress. What do you think? I'm thinking a midi dress will be more wearable for my life as a mum.

Every time I pick Mr N up from childcare I also pick up a collection of craft projects and artworks. I love that he loves arts and crafts but seriously, what am I going to do with all this stuff?! Our house is not that big.

Another not-so-quiet week in the Sew Brunswick household. How's everyone else going? Been busy?

Snap: Lost in a Fabric Shop





I thought you all might appreciate these photos my Dad snapped of my Mum shopping in a fabric shop in Roma.

How do you find anything in there? How do you not lose a kid in there?!

Update: My mum tells me it wasn't actually Spotlight but just a fabric store. For risk of upsetting Spotlight, I've changed it. But it could have been a Spotlight...

Snap: My week



My week has been HUGE!! Mr Sew Brunswick has been in South Africa for a week, so after wrangling the kids and work I've been collapsing on the couch in a state of stupor every night. I so nearly lost my sanity in those 7 days... I've also been hit with a bit of house decorating fever so I've been stretching fabric, hanging frames and navigating Ikea. We've been for a drive in the country and packing our bags for a tropical holiday. To finish it all off, today I went for a long run for some much needed peace and quiet. 

Not much sewing, I have finished a dress which I think may be my favourite work dress to date (big call!) and I have a black ponti knit blazer with polkadot binding in progress.

It's all happening over here at Sew Brunswick!!
