Something to be said about Gingham

Gingham once again has become so popular, a reminder maybe of Grandmas kitchen pantry shelves covered in sticky back plastic gingham paper, or her pretty cotton apron.

Ive always been a lover of gingham, for tablecloths and teatowels, mixed with dots and stripes.  

Birthday parties are a great favourite, and gingham always looks fresh, and can be in any setting, retro, shabby chic or traditional, whatever the mood.

So without having to sew a thing, you can just throw it over the table and hey, a new look.  Cut the edges in a scallop all the way round and you have a gorgeous new tablecloth.

Its not Pink.........its Black Board fabric

(Non screeeeeeching Black Board Fabric!! )

I know, i usually have the pinks,  oranges,  greens, blues but for today Black is the new pink.

Chalk Board/Black Board Cloth, what a brilliant idea, its the same as a black board, you can use it the same way,  but it can be rolled up and put away.

It can be found in the Oilcloth section in my store

Use it as a tablecloth at a kids party with their names on for seating, or doodle parties.  The uses and fun are endless. Or use as a portable blackboard for travelling.

The only thing that is different from the real chalk board/ blackboard is you cant make the chalk  ....screeeeeeech.  Do you remember at school that sound of sharp chalk scraping down the black board.  ooh i can hear it now.  Thats it.

Chalk/Board Black/Board Cloth Fabric, like an oilcloth but a matt finish

This is available from as little as $8.15 for a piece 60cm x 50cm

Enjoy the mess and NOT the screech

Well , its been a very busy week, sewing and cutting and allsorts.

I had an order for a doorstop in a fabric I now I only had a tiny amount left in, and of course I said yes, as you do, and then spent the next half a day searching thru boxes and boxes of off cuts, end rolls, bits and bobs, until finally I found what I was looking for.Sooooooo...

Monday Gorgeousness in Canvas

Still only time for quick blogs, the school hols rule and just finding a few minutes here and there to update and blog.  But its been fun, we now have one broken wrist in the household.  Poor Ollie, was Army jumping a fence as boys do and bam, landed on his wrist, so no more sport for 6 weeks at least and unfortunately no trip to Rockhampton for the State Nipper Titles, he was so looking forward to. 

But these things happen and maybe now he will think twice about army jumping fences... although probably not.

So with all the various trips to the hospital and fracture clinic and so on, my blog has been a little neglected, I managed to add a 3rd coloumn to my blog which was fun to say the least.  

Now on to the business of fabric,  just adding a few gorgeous fabrics from the fabulous Surface Art, these are canvas weight and great for upholsterings and soft furnishings, lovely and thick.

 Japanese Floral in leaf green & sand ~ 

available only in 100% cotton canvas

Amy Butler Laminated Cotton/oilcloth bundle

So my camera isnt working, im not surprised, as i took it to the beach last week, and like the kind loving mother that i am handed it to my 9 year old, to click away merilly.

Not until i turned and looked that I saw to my horrow, 2 hands covered in SAND........  I looked at him , I looked at my camera and just shook my head.  Well at least he had fun for 5 minutes.
We closed the the lens and packed it away, after shaking all the sand out.

When some new fabric arrived earlier this week, I excitedly got my camera out and YES, it had sand in it.  I  had totally forgotten we had taken it to the beach and the sandy hands incident.

So it is now at Teds being de-sanded so I can use it again.
So again whilst this is happening, i thought Id add some special offers for the Easter holiday, seeing as though i cannot take any new pics of my nice new quilting fabrics  until next week hopefully!!!

I shall have a special each day, with the previous being put back to its original price.  So be quick because they will change quickly.

Heres todays.  happy shopping........

Get inspired and create something gorgeous with our 

oilcloth and fabric bundles.

Shabby Old Church Pew

My sad old church pew has found its way to ebay.

Its in need of restoration, and some tender care.  

We used to live on the Warwickshire/Northamptonshire border in the UK, which is where this pew was from  originally, a little church in a village where we lived, were making more room and selling off surplus pews.

We paid around $400 for it 6 years ago, it weights a tonne, and suited our little cottage.  It has loads of character.  And in the right house or setting would look fab.  A couple of coats of varnish and some pretty cushions would make all the difference!!

It even has a couple of hooks in the back to hang a kneeling cushion, and a shelf to keep your prayer book.

Click here to view on ebay  .

Polka Dots & Cupcakes ~ Party bags

Easter bags, party bags, play bags, little book bags, they can be called anything, but I like to call them party bags, as they are just large enough to hold some yummy lollies, and few goodies.  The bag in itself is a gift.

These are also environmentally friendly, as can be used time and time again, by the little party goer.

Each bag is hand made in a gorgeous polka dot cotton fabric and cupcake grossgrain handles, fully overlocked on the inside and double stitched for strength.

These were a special order for a customer and thought they turned out so well, that id share with you all.

3 Little Party bags

$12.00 for 3($4.00 each) individually.

These will be in store from tomorrow.

Blog Giveaway Winner....

And we have a winner, mummy2jj is the lucky girl, and will receive her cuddly cushion cover and doorstop, in the mail this week.
