I’m interested to know what people think about these collections. Drop me a comment.

New Fabric Range

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.

New Melly & Me book

Here it is… Melanie Hurlston of Melly and Me’s first book, Kaleidoscope.

Inside you’ll find a collection of 12 inspiring projects, complete with templates. The book features patterns for:

• bags;
• softies;
• quilts; and
• embroidery

Paula’s Weekender Bag.

Another clever customer. Paula has made this gorgeous Amy Butler Weekender Bag using pink and chocolate damask fabric.

Thanks for showing us Paula and good luck with your operation!!!

ModKids Patterns

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 Sukie Stationery

Thought I’d quickly mention that we’ve just added some new stationery sets by Sukie to the store.

Sukie Correspondence Cards

Sukie Animals on Parade

Sukie Mix & Match Stationery

Sukie Box of Labels

If you don’t know Sukie… they are Brighton (UK) based Darrell & Julia Gibbs.

For those of you that love Jenny Hart’s Sublime Stitching, we’ve also just received the following two items - a Baby Bib Embroidery Kit and Stitchable Stationery.

My next job… 3 big boxes of fabric to add to the fabric store!

Twitter Winner.

Conratulations to Nicole, our Twitter Competition winner. Nicole has won a super cute birdie pattern called (funnily enough) Twitter, by Melly & Me. Hooray for competitions!

New goodies on the way.

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:

This echino bird fabric:

And this lovely fabric panel with woodland scene and wild animals:

This is but a taste of what is to come! Excited?

Can’t wait for this one.

This is something to look forward to. The new range by Heather Ross called Far, far Away. Expect it in the shop as soon as it arrives on these shores.

I just love her so much!

Red, White and Blue.

A little breath of fresh northern hemisphere springtime from my first textile love, Cath Kidston.

Cookbooks and Cards.

Look what arrived! It’s the rest of my mother’s day giftie.

Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook. This is the cookbook from our favourite local in New York (I know- how spoilt am I?) French brasserie- yum.

Gorgeous gift cards bought in Olinda.

Too pretty to ever be written on, destined for frames. By poppies for grace and screech owl design.

A feast of Blythe.

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.

images originally from Tiny Haus, tibiloo.

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