<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It is amazing to think that Frolic in Fabric has been operating for two years. What started as a few school holiday workshops is now up to 6 six regular weekly classes - not to mention short term workshops and the ever growing school holiday program! A few highlights to mention would be my amazing class of six super keen and enthusiastic 9-11 year olds who today finished off their lovely cushions. They had a blast learning how to cover buttons, sew buttonholes, tucks and chenille cutting - which makes the cushion oh so soft and cuddly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This Saturday sees the completion of the third ladies beginners sewing course we have run this year. They have been a great success and always a pleasure to share my love of sewing with others. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Mondays are a special day i share with two classes of teenage girls. One a class of home schooled girls and my after school 4pm class. We have been enjoying to make a tote bag, pyjama pants, button up top, skirt and we are now about to make a gorgeous dress for summer!! They are amazingly talented and lots of fun to teach.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">And lastly (i could keep going..) we held a special sewing event to make some pants for a dear little girl called Alexis. Alexis has special needs and desperately needed some new chenille pants to crawl around in. So many thanks to those talented ladies who gave up their Saturday afternoon to drop in and help make the 5 pairs of pants!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">There is so much more to share but not enough hours in the night!! When Alexis was shown her pants she said in sign language "more" with a big cheeky grin on her face. She definately loved all the applique and cuteness...and we love her too!</span></div>

I have to say most of my time has been spent setting up the studio (and scraping sticky tape off the windows which we have left on far to long and is now super hard to get off. The windows have french panels so even more tape!) It seriously took me about three hours to clean one window. I have also been busy designing a logo for Frolic in Fabric which has been lots of fun and time consuming. There are so many factors to consider when designing a logo because it will be used in so many places. If anyone could recommend a good supplier of woven labels it would be greatly appreciated.</p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgusGp-ldpBvxTYgWS1YyBVPgd0q2mSfgZx8HP6DvrCTkzBSHNCL6DlYX26-E8edoWCupOVDRUn2dbUZBs1548eba_4kHRJI3mOh_P03YYxrmd4AGHO9MAoQWONtULvHoJ9CepnZx1LL9Pw/s1600/Picture+018.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480192143244809602" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgusGp-ldpBvxTYgWS1YyBVPgd0q2mSfgZx8HP6DvrCTkzBSHNCL6DlYX26-E8edoWCupOVDRUn2dbUZBs1548eba_4kHRJI3mOh_P03YYxrmd4AGHO9MAoQWONtULvHoJ9CepnZx1LL9Pw/s400/Picture+018.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">There is so much joy to by had with a free hand foot on your sewing machine!

Only a 30 minute drive south of Coffs Harbour. How exciting it was to see some of my label in the window of The Vintage Nest. The Vintage Nest sells quality recycled and new clothing and miscellaneous goods. The blue floral dress, the girls skirts and flag banner are all Frolic in Fabric. Sadly the shop was closed so the only pics taken were through the window!<br />Next door to The Vintage Nest is the Vintage Expresso which is currently undergoing renovations. They sell great coffee and delicious sweeties...<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-PuH4hg3fwwzB227qdVqqHGVIdVnhWkJSo8iYD6fsnpXYWTM3TRKdXHD4tfWyhEKlpyviLRN65gH2xTD084j58_CSzB-lZi2OHOYJk1EQZYICRPgNJmltblOwNC_mNaqrCjK4Oi_VIDh/s1600-h/Picture+180.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422736017522992834" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-PuH4hg3fwwzB227qdVqqHGVIdVnhWkJSo8iYD6fsnpXYWTM3TRKdXHD4tfWyhEKlpyviLRN65gH2xTD084j58_CSzB-lZi2OHOYJk1EQZYICRPgNJmltblOwNC_mNaqrCjK4Oi_VIDh/s400/Picture+180.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZo2FBsD_2m6__08r6PW9qXc00-Q1Vx6UHbfABltn40qh7VGJ7zL4Zf2mnH5emrG4_oLlbe7TYG8s9OW4IG4AjeYnhKNN4Da6weJkdu295J1B32AOCcV3LPL3cEbfvTtNzFZrdwcQkHYW/s1600-h/Picture+168.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422736011794653426" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZo2FBsD_2m6__08r6PW9qXc00-Q1Vx6UHbfABltn40qh7VGJ7zL4Zf2mnH5emrG4_oLlbe7TYG8s9OW4IG4AjeYnhKNN4Da6weJkdu295J1B32AOCcV3LPL3cEbfvTtNzFZrdwcQkHYW/s400/Picture+168.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Have to say i don't mind the reflection of the tress in this picture and some of the streetscape of Bellingen.<br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwxp4gqxU9S33CIhsmozNwoZrlwvJ1Rnpcw6YfUuO6Ns5Y-2UBcon2oxtcR1Tfo6zmv5pJTBvMm6xJCLDM9YbMSBOR_K5MuaAUYDRRTPDjTdaYPbZNFmIZxt60NIuy70uuo10iMvQgKmAM/s1600-h/Picture+170.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422735999295465858" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwxp4gqxU9S33CIhsmozNwoZrlwvJ1Rnpcw6YfUuO6Ns5Y-2UBcon2oxtcR1Tfo6zmv5pJTBvMm6xJCLDM9YbMSBOR_K5MuaAUYDRRTPDjTdaYPbZNFmIZxt60NIuy70uuo10iMvQgKmAM/s400/Picture+170.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUatgUcDLc-Z-zstnldM3SSzGw8Ptxbwg5coBdw89FpR43H94tHbxgznrodSrR5V8gkJ2y6z8vP4GioiI8U7RHmI3N7WIrEhWt0XwyWNbPFMBFE7suIdquP6zsF-mKg1ZuwdnZQlFwEm-g/s1600-h/Picture+193.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422735992184051122" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUatgUcDLc-Z-zstnldM3SSzGw8Ptxbwg5coBdw89FpR43H94tHbxgznrodSrR5V8gkJ2y6z8vP4GioiI8U7RHmI3N7WIrEhWt0XwyWNbPFMBFE7suIdquP6zsF-mKg1ZuwdnZQlFwEm-g/s400/Picture+193.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div align="center">Just a few of the locals we saw in the main street.
