Ol' Melbourne Towne - Here I come

Just charging the iPad downloading season 5 of Modern Family - ready for the flight! I know there will most likely be some sort of entertainment on the flight and I have several books and magazine (all on the iPad) for choice but lets face it when you're on the red eye you just want something easy to watch and hopefully fall asleep to!

My primary reason for going to Melbourne is to visit my daughter :-) but she'll be working some of the time I'm there and I'll need to entertain myself ... we all know what that means - yep fabric shopping!

I am planning on making another Stinchcomb Blazer for Mr SS Tessuti and Clegs will be my first stops for fabric for this jacket ...

 and also for my planned Chanel Classic Jacket.

I'm torn between a tan colour jacket like this

or a classic cream colour like this

or do I go wild and ramp up a really vibrant colour palette (which colour I'm not sure - I'm hoping for inspiration in store!)

There will definitely be a whole lot more of those trunks getting whipped up over the comng weeks so will be on the look out for remnants - Rathedowne Fabrics and Remnants in Brunswick might be just the place for that!

And then lastly but definitely not least I am hoping to make these pants for Paris - I want to make them in a beautiful silver or gunmetal grey or both! You know as I type I'm seeing these pants in a light chambray - the new 'girlfriend' style on the old 'boyfriend' style of jeans???? Hmmm the possibilities!!!

I better go pack my bag - but not too much I think I'm going to need some room for the return trip, haha!
