Spirits dancing made this suit for the theatre group A Bunch of Posers for a performance at an event that marked the closing down of the Australian Bureau of Statistics mainframe computer earlier this year.

I just “stumbled upon” your blog, and I must say it is wonderful! I love it all! :)

Where can one purchase the material and pattern for such a terrific waistcoat?
We assemble printed circuit boards (see website for Brisbane company) which look just like that material.
Our five Filippino and one NZealander owners have survived ten years together and I’d like to make them a waistcoat each. I’d buy one if I could but they are such different sizes – rather small and rather large!
Anyone able to help?

I NEED to find this fabric. My son is enamoured with circuitboards and his birthday is approaching quickly…please tell us where you found it!

Thanks for the link, Kath.

Rose and Steph, I hand-printed the fabric, as a one-off product, so it is not available to buy. However, my intention is to develop this idea and investigate fabric printing for a variety of projects that I have in mind. If you would like to mail me via my website, I could keep you posted on this.
