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 florals,  ginghams, 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!!

Pretty birdies on the front and plain chino with Mikko detail across the centre on the reverse.

Yoga & Exercise Mat Bag

My daughter requested a bag to put her yoga mat in, as she was fed up with carrying it under her arm.  

Yes I know the feeling, my mat is like a floppy fish, I lost the tie, and when I finish my class, and roll it up, it just as quickly unrolls.  So together we designed a pretty bag to carry that large floppy piece of foam in.

And here it is. Now listed in my store and  also in my  Made It  store and my daughter took the other.  Im going to add it to my store aswell this evening.

It is made from one of my Lila Tueller gorgeous Party Dress fabrics, has a rope handle that easily flings over your shoulder.

Yoga & Exercise Mat Bag

Available in all the lightweight fabrics and organic Beyond The Sea fabric too.  If you would like a specific fabric, or even a slightly wider fit, then drop me an email.

Bettie Birdie ~ Retro bunting/hanging birds

Its so nice to have my camera back at long last, and take some pics of my renovations and also my new Bettie Birdies.  

I wanted to make some bunting,  but didnt want the regular triangles, which i love  and have in my laundry.  I wanted something slightly different.

I had a rummage around in my workroom, because I new hiding somewhere was the bird pattern I had made last year, for some patches on teeshirts.  After some frantic emptying of boxes, I found her.  I had named her Bettie Birdie.  I file in mysterious ways!!!!!

Anyway to cut a long story short, I broke out my oilcloth and made these gorgeous doublesided Birdies.  And they do the trick, just what I wanted.  I have since been asked if I sell these, so here they are, in my Made It Shop.   

Pop over if you get a minute, Iam running an offer with these ~ if you buy 4 you can have the 5th totally FREE.

Vintage Pink 

Happy decorating.

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.


The retrun of the Gingham Tablecloth

Now available at 

  I Just Love That Fabric,

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

Susie

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...
