friends

One thing Amy Butler expressed last week that hit home with me is how important your friends and family are when building a business. Often my Mum or Dad will pick up fabrics from the printer's, Monique helps me pick colours, Molly & Frizz have both done collaborations and Caro and I talk endlessly about fabrics and designs. But there's one person that has come back into my life lately that has taken a huge load off... Jodie. My trusty pal who started sewing bags for me a few years ago. She and her hubby (and 2 kids) headed off on an adventure to Perth then Melbourne. After a few years, they came back to Sydney. And now Jodie has come back on board sewing again. Things have changed here at the Doran household, but nothing has changed with her sewing. An absolute perfectionist she is. We laugh at our different sewing techniques constantly. Jodie measures, irons, pins, tacks... I don't.


Some bibs sewn by the fabulous Jodie.
Also I wanted to mention a new stockist in Melbourne CBD - ArtLife (118 Lonsdale St). Thanks Tina!
And a new shop in France: Suppléments d'âme (12 rue Victor Hugo, RENNES). Thanks Eve!
