We’ve got a fabulous new fabric range to tell you about. Its called Red Letter Day by talented designer Lizzy House.

What do you think? The Red Letter Day fabric collection is some of the cutest, most vibrant fabric I’ve seen in a long while. Its perfect for quilting and kids clothing (duck pajamas anyone?).

If you want to see how crafty peeps are using this fabulous fabric range, visit the Red Letter Day flickr pool. There are some amazingly talented people out there!

Lastly there is a FREE pattern using the Red Letter Day Fabric here.

ModKids Patterns

Posted under General 1 Comment

We received a big box of ModKids sewing patterns today from US designer Patty Young. The ModKids range of patterns caught our eye and we just had to add them to our store.

Each pattern includes a full-size pattern sheet and a color instruction booklet with dozens of detailed photographs to guide you along the project.

“Mod threads for the cool kid”… Indeed!

New goodies on the way.

Posted under Fabric, General 2 Comments

Ordered some new lovelies for the shop today.

The Heather Ross “far, far away” beauties (even better in the flesh) are printed onto double gauze fabric. Lightweight. Wispy. Delightful.

Lots of slightly off the wall Japanese novelties including these piggies:

A feast of Blythe.

Posted under Fabric, Flickr, General, Shop No Comments

Was invited to join this fun group on Flickr- am so pleased, only thing is, I don’t have a Blythe (may have to rectify that!)

Oh, I’d sew her little frocks and knit her weeny scarves and cardigans and accesorise her with Mod wigs and mini ‘fros.

I think these photos are so yum, is it weird to get fashion tips from Blythe?
