A small piece of Fame

Fame at last, one of my gorgeous oilcloth tablecloths has been featured in the  Donna Hay - Kids Magazine edition.


Our Baby Blue Gingham Oilcloth table cloth looks absolutely fab mixed with Baby Pink accessories, I Love it.

 Oilcloth tablecloths have become very fashionable over the last few years, with their easy care and wipeclean surfaces.  Todays most popular Oilcloths come in 2 different types, there is the 91% pvc type Mexican Oilcloth which is waterproof on both sides and is great for picnic mats, lunch bags, totes and all sorts, and is less expensive, whereas the Laminated cotton oilcloth is as it says, a gorgeous printed fashionable fabric which has been laminated on the top surface to give a hardwearing, durable and wipecleanable top.

Oilcloths are very easy to keep clean, very easy to sew and easy to turn into a multitude of gorgeous crafts, from tiny coin purses and doorstops to large beach bags and picnic mats.

Pop over to our store I Just Love That Fabric and take a look at our collection of floralsginghams, dots, stripes, tropical and chic oilcloth designs in lots of gorgeous soft and vibrant colours.

Now to look at those mouth watering recipes,  oooooh yummy!!

GreenGate ~ Spring on a Roll

Today was the day, the delivery truck pulled into our driveway and out came my rolls of Green Gate fabric.

Yippee as i ran down the drivway.  I think the driver thought I was totally mad!! 
I unwrapped them carefully and just stood looking as you do when new fabric arrives, thinking tomyself should I really sell any more of this, or just keep it all to myself.?

Anway I have decided to keep some for me as it took so long to get here and keep the remainder in my store.  

I can now share with you,  it is  simply Spring on roll, beautiful colours, country and comtemporary all rolled into one. 

I wish I had ordered more, as it has been selling well, but hey, we live and learn,  always on the side of caution, -  but not anymore.    Im going to make some cushions and things, ooohh! im so excited. 



So here we have Paisley on white at the top, Mathilde (largescale)  in the centre and Sophia at the bottom (which is a tiny version of the Mathilde) .

Im off to play with my fabrics now!!
