While one of my BFF's from Perth and her partner were visiting we decided to take them to one of the many outdoor markets that are part of the Darwin lifestyle.
Usually these markets consist of stalls selling locally grown Asian fruit/veggies (Dragon fruit, papaya, breadfruit and snake beans all available!), plus a few local craft stalls selling jewellery and clothing.
However this Sunday we decided to check out the Nightcliffe markets, next to a charity store that luckily for us girls was open (the boys weren't interested). Not only did they have a tonne of fabric and sewing haberdashery in store but also a stack of sewing magazines and patterns.!
All up I spent about $4.00 total, which considering the money is going to a good cause, is pretty excellent in this day and age. Although the sewing mags are from the early 1990's I spied a couple of pattern that wouldn't look out of place today. Also zippers, Kwik Sew and Simplicity patterns for 10-20cents a piece, who can argue with that?
