See behind the scenes production of the things I make for my business, RED INSTEAD handmade. I run my handcrafted accessories business from my home studio in Canberra, and you can find many studio and craft organisation photos and blog posts too. I love to make things, mostly with my sewing machine, and I make toys, handbags, scrapbooking layouts, beaded jewellery, cushions and belts. I craft and sew and I blog my life and my creations with photos and words.

All Things Mum is a sewing blog. Mum of Two, Kim, loves to blog about her Japanese Sewing Books, garment sewing, fabric finds and every day life with her two little bubs. She shares sewing tips, tricks, trials and errors in a relaxed and funny sewing adventure.

I make unusual and interesting quality handbags, purses and wallets, children's clothes and toys, kitchen accessories and other items. Everything I make is colourful, individual and original. I use natural fabrics and waddings and vintage, repro or current designer fabric and fittings.

A Blog which details new info from the Silly Gilly children's accessories store. Also lots of info about crafting, sewing, op-shopping and family life.

The Haby Goddess is a collection of all things haberdashery. A huge range of original and rare finds as well as basic haby at great prices. Weekly updates of local designers as well as haby news.

The Kelani Fabric blog aims to be a type of 'Inspiration Board' for fellow crafters, home decorators and sewers. It is here that I would like to connect and get to know other crafters and share craftiness, whether it be sharing a photo of my own craft or from my customer handmade inspiration gallery.
