Meet the Northside Crafters: Mrs Beckinsale
Mrs Beckinsale is one of the Northside Makers and she will her wonderful vintage-inspired travel wares for sale at our October Market.
Tell us about what you sell ...
W Class Cushions and accessories for the discerning public transport user. Myki pouches, magazine covers, diaries, fabric postcards and whatever else I feel like making.
What inspires you?
I'm inspired by Melbourne icons like trams and old buildings, old school tattoo images and costume dramas.
What's your favourite medium to work in?
I'm pretty much limited to textiles. I can't draw, sculpt, paint, woodwork, silversmith or throw a pot. But I've used only thirty years of my life so far, so there's still heaps of time to expand my repertoire.
What would you be lost without ....
My Melways. A ha ha. No, Easyfix. It's my preferred brand of Vliesofix equivalent.
What's your fave crafty read
John Peacock's Fashion Sourcebooks series.
What do you like to listen to when you craft?
If I'm lucky, the sound of silence while Little Jack has his nap.
What crafty forums do you lurk in ....
I haven't been a forum user for a few years now. It's hard enough keeping up with my huge blog reading list.
Whats up next for you on the craft front?
A few more diary designs for 2010 and some very special new cushions.
Do you have any UFO's (unfinished objects),what are they?
A pile of W Class Cushions for custom orders, my new cushion prototype and a cocktail dress for my sister.
Where else can people shop for your goodies?

About Us
A little bit about us .... the founding members of the Northside Makers Collective.
Having stitched her way from maternity frocks to bridesmaids from hell this WAHM has embraced her urban pride and now lends her talents to the quirky and fantastic W Class Cushions.
A growing range of products that will leave you nostalgic for the days of conductors, hole-punched tickets and state-owned public transport.
Creating an eclectic array of jewelery, stationary and home wares to sell both online and at local Melbourne markets Jay looks forward to the time when the government announces longer days, free childcare and a craft store on every corner.
