"Every moment is precious, every day counts. Everything I do I do not only for myself but also my brother who didn’t get a chance, and my daughter who has just arrived here. Things are bigger than me and I’m part of a much more profound and interconnected constellation of things. I think I’m sad and elated and grateful in a way you can only be once you’ve walked through fire and come out the other side."

Some kinds of wisdom only arrive through transformation – the sort that comes from holding both an ending and a beginning in your hands at once. For pianist and composer , this wisdom is woven into every note of her new album Dust, a work written in the space between her brother’s death and her daughter’s birth.

Due for release on November 14, Dust is Rose’s second album, and finds her expanding beyond her neoclassical roots, weaving guitar, drums, and ambient textures into her signature piano work. The result is an album that holds space for grief and joy to coexist, where silence becomes as meaningful as sound.

We chatted to Rose to find out more about how she transforms life’s most seismic moments into sound. 🎵

The Fabulous Fern! We’re losing count but we think Jessie has made four pairs now - we think that means they’ve had the Jessie tick of approval?! (They all look gorgeous btw)

From :

👏 The Fern Pleated Pants. and with have given us a beauty of a pattern.

Can I just say, once again, the fit on these pants, for me, is epic.

Size H, length shortened and facing for the hem.
I used a regular zip, just to show, that if you don’t have an invisible zip foot, you can still make these pants.

And what spring outfit would be complete without a matchy top.
I had some small pieces left over, so I used a vintage 1975 McCalls pattern for inspiration, and made one to fit my measurements.

This cotton/linen fabric was purchased when closed in town, it was $1m, and it was in my deep stash - AKA a box in the shed.

So, why would you bother sewing your own clothes?

For me, it’s mainly the dramatic entrances and being able to look like your Aunts curtains from 1976.

High on comfort, low on effort – our luxe loungewear pattern ups the ante in the stay-at-home outfit stakes!

Can you guess when we created this one? May 2020, so you can understand why loungewear was on our minds. Still such a fave though – WFM is here to stay!

We worked with Alison Pollard and Charlotte Mackay of sewing pattern and sustainable fashion brand to create this beautiful pattern. With a short-sleeved drop-shoulder top and relaxed-fit cropped pants (with pockets!), it’s the ultimate lounging staple. Layer it with a chunky knit cardigan for cooler days, mix-and-match with separates for jaunts out of the house, or wear on its own for lazy days at home.

We used the Lola ‘Musk’ Lightweight Linen from

“This work will be undervalued as it uses an artform associated with women” 🙌🏼

Incredible work by Nicole Kemp

“My Grandma Thelma is still very present in this work. My mother, many years ago, passed on the unfinished patchwork pieces by my Grandma, to me.
They now inspire several works on the go and who knows what else to come. She was a strong , powerful, highly organised professional woman of her time. My great Grandma and her owned several pubs around Victoria and in Melbourne. They would have whipped those men into shape in the bar.
She was definitely a feminist of her time.”
