Our second intern...

About two weeks ago our second ever intern came to work with us! (meanwhile we have our 3rd working with us but more about that in another blog post).

Jane asked us if she could come and help us for a couple of days and we said yes! Jane was super lovely - she mixed our inks, helped with general tasks and even printed fabric with us, which she picked up really quickly. I think she had a great time and learned heaps (with the vision of starting her own little label sometime soon) and I'm sure we'll see more of her in the future :)

Jane - our latest intern!

Thanks Jane, please come back and visit us!

Birthday dress...

What?! Two posts in a day? Well, these two are related.
Teegs made a beautiful dress from an original pattern found in the May 1940 issue of Good Taste Magazine and it became her 'birthday dress'. It's gorgeous!

(Teegs edit: You can't really tell, but the best bit is the fabric is a Skull'n'Crossbones print!! Being the pirate girl I am, I totally LOVE it!!)

Redstaggerwing Designs

We promised to blog about this before Blogtoberfest was over... well, we didn't quite keep that promise but we'd still like to share this amazing scarf with you.

Lisa emailed us her pictures and we're always happy to see what people make with our fabrics... and we love showing it off too ;)

The temperatures here are getting a bit too hot for scarves, but I'm sure people in the Northern Hemisphere could use one of Lisa's beautiful scarves!

Thanks for sending us your photos Lisa!

New Designs Finally Released!

OK, so you know they've been coming, but Lace Fans and Geofloral are finally here!! YAY!

Firstly a big thanks so everyone's feedback re both designs, as it really does help us decide whether to go ahead with one or not! We're very glad we did - they're both slightly larger in scale than we are used to doing, which was oddly odd, but we're particularly happy with how beautifully they printed up!

We have limited our colour pallette, so they're each only available in the Shop in four colourways :)

They are the tres classy Charcoal on Black Linen:
geofloral in charcoal in black

the uber chic White on Natural Linen:
lace fans in snow on natural

and two refreshing greens- Olive on Organic Cream:lace fans in olive on cream

geofloral in robins egg on natural

We hope you like them as much as we do!!

We also have a couple of colourways previously-seen-before but back by popular demand!! (See? We really do listen to you guys!!)

They are Birch in a very pretty Honey Gold:

and Blue Wrens in a lovely summery Teal, both on delicious Organic Cotton/Hemp! Yum!

On a side note, we had both these prints rolled out on the table yesterday and my goodness do those two colours look a-MAZ-ing together!! I love them! If only I knew how to quilt.. *sigh!
