The Week That Was: Part One

"Wont you take me to…. Funky Town?" Hmmm ok not Funky Town but ye' old Sydney Town?

Here at Sanoii + Six HQ we have been busy little bees. Last week was full of splendour - we took a day trip down to Sydney, posted off some custom pieces and even took time off from the sewing machines to celebrate at a party.

Sydney as always, was a riot. Our first stop was All Buttons Great and Small in Newtown. May I just say OH EM GEE the button range was intense. Wall to wall buttons and so many amazing finds. We even discovered some special little buttons for our up and coming winter range. Whoo! After being in button heaven we headed off in search of the perfect range of fabrics. After trawling lots and lots and lots of suppliers (some lovely, some not so much) we came away with a boot load of fabrics. Hooray! After a long day in the city Sanoii and I always give ourselves a treat and by treat we mean chocolate. Loads and loads of chocolate so off to Max Brenner we went. Belgium waffles, chocolate soufflé and some lovely chocolate drinks and we were set for our sleepy trip back up the coast.

 

Last year S+S met the lovely illustrator Renee-Anne and when she asked for a custom swimsuit we just couldn't say no! A few deatils of colour and style and we got pattern making, one fitting and a few minor adjustments and we were finished. The swimsuit is a based on our beloved 'Petal' cotton one-piece, with a few tweaks to the straps and fabric to make this truly unique for dear Renee.

Last on our agenda was a party for Oh Deer Vintage to launch their beautiful new online boutique. We donned our faux furs, our prettiest dresses and our shiniest hair and headed to a fun filled night of new friends and delicious champagne. We were so grateful to be apart of their big moment and we had such a great time, I even forgot to instagram that night (I blame the champagne hehe)!
