Shelleyberelli's sewing up a storm for BrisStyle's upcoming markets!

Shelleyberelli’s been sewing up a storm in the lead up to the BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market on Friday 30 July, 5-9pm at King George Square and the BrisStyle Co-op at the Red Hill Fair on Saturday 31 July, 10am-3pm.


Shelley’s been teaming with a theme. Check out her new drawstring bags – there’s the contrasting small and large flower prints in autumnal colours (...despite being well and truly past this mild season, into the 'deep' of winter) or the yummy chocolate/blue combo. "Perfect as book bags or music bags for little girls or to keep 'your smalls' in when you travel.... to prevent, as shared by my friend on her recent trip to London, finding her undies covered in glitter when she borrowed her littlest one's drawstring bag). Oooer, matron!"


Or maybe your laptop’s in need of a new case? Come and visit shelleyberelli for a padded laptop sleeve with a difference. Each is embellished with striking ribbon, all the way from Honkers.


Are you a crafter or knitter? Looking for somewhere special to keep your spare bobbins and thread or needles and yarn? Maybe a craftwrap’s for you?

All the old shelleyberelli favourites will also be available. Obi-style belts, purses and swing totes – made from found fabrics and special purchases from Japan (and Indooroopilly…). Hope to see you there!


Shelleyberelli will be at the following BrisStyle markets:

BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market
Friday 30 July, 5-9pm
King George Square, Brisbane City

BrisStyle Co-op Market Stall
Red Hill Fair
Saturday 31 July, 10am-3pm

To check out other shelleyberelli wares, visit her on Etsy, made-it, facebook, or her blog.
