From @TheRealMrsKelley:⁠
⁠
Hello, fall? Is that you? 📞🍂⁠
⁠
When @PeppermintMagazine hit me up and asked if I wanted to make the Rozelle slip with this beautiful @Spoonflower fabric that is sooo deliciously autumnal, I said ‘duhhh’. This project has gotten me so hyped to get into fall/winter sewing projects so I’m gonna pretend it’s not 80° outside and get right to it. If you need me, I’ll be in my sewing room, byeeeee!⁠

The voices of women, girls and non-binary folk have often been silenced when it comes to history, politics, science, art… well, you name it. But multigenerational storytelling night, Generation Women, is speaking truth to power, offering a warm and inclusive space where people of all ages can come together to share, celebrate and learn.⁠
⁠
Held in Sydney and Melbourne, the monthly event aims to amplify a selection of female and non-binary voices – representing those in their twenties through to their seventies (and beyond) – each sharing their own stories on a specific theme. ⁠
⁠
We're so proud to partner with @Generation_Women_Aus to bring you a monthly series sharing the words and wisdom from some of the speakers. August’s theme was ‘Desperate Times, Desperate Measures: Stories of Drastic Action’, with performers sharing a time when the going got tough, so the tough got going.⁠
⁠
Head to the link in our bio to read more from acclaimed journalist and writer Jane Sullivan as she reflects on the night John Lennon died. May her words ring in your ears the next time action is needed! ⁠

⁠
But how can you face all those fabric flowers knowing the damaging impact the fashion industry has on the natural world? Fear not! At the link in our bio, we’re revisiting the best in the field – 14 blooming lovely Australian brands who are planting the seeds for a greener future by committing to ethical and sustainable practices, today. ⁠
