Kelly Doust introduces readers to her wonderful world of reviving and customising vintage pieces, while bringing a modern and unique twist to wearing vintage clothes – Dita Von Teese
Market Day this Saturday

Just a reminder about the Prints Charming Market Day this Saturday, open from 9-3pm at 2 Young St Annandale. Have a look at some of the gorgeous items they’ve been making in preparation:
The thing that gets me is, all these prints are done by hand – you wouldn’t believe the amount of time and effort involved. And the paints they use are non-toxic and safe enough to wash down the sink, so socially responsible to boot.
Chic summer kaftan
Printed tea towels
Kaleidescope napkins

Hi Kelly! I’m trying to make the beach bag from your book, but I can’t seem to find any oilcloth. Did you buy your oilcloth in Sydney? Any recommendations?
Hi Gaby, do a search on ‘oilcloth’ on the site and there’s a whole list of my favourite places to buy it… good luck, there are some gorgeous designs out there!
Oh how I wish I could live in Sydney!
