I needed to share this with you, a fantastic Sydney based company, doing some great things with design and so much more. They are climate neutral and a Fair Trade company. Check out their website, I'm sure you'll be inspired!

more from one bee ...

it's been fun mixing the style I use for creating toys with the clothes i've been making. these starbellies are appearing on children's tops and women's singlets. much better use for remnants than discarding them ...


this is one of the tshirts, being worn with a skirt made from a vintage tablecloth.

Carbon Neutral

Just a few thoughts have been humbugging around my head lately. Which is no surprise really given the urgent call to change our current paradigm of living,(ie. consumption, dependce on fossil fuel and disrespect for the planet).
Finding ourselves, as a species, faced with inevitable massive climate change, The Coop has put a little thought into the way we can reduce impact we have on the planet. We would like to offer free trees and native plants to our customers making us a carbon neutral non-profit community organisation. Pioneering the way for other community groups . This benefits all members of the community, as well as the planet. It also presents an incentive to shop locally and responsibily, putting value back into products made with care and with considerartion for the planet, as opposed to imported mass produced items.

The seed of this thought is planted. Let us nurture it, so it may grow!

skip broadway

Skip Broadway is the business of Yvonne Werner, the self-named (and styled) 'underpants queen' of Bellingen. This title though, no matter how fetching, needs to be expanded somehow so as to take in the new range of one-piece women's swimsuits.









Skip Broadway 's range of bloomers (sizes 8-16) and swimmers (sizes 10-14 so far) are all handmade by Yvonne in Bellingen, and incorporate lots of little touches that add to the making of clothing that is quite unique, and most importantly, very very fun!
