Customer Talent

We always have the best of intentions when it comes to blogging about all amazing things our customers do with our fabric. It's one of our favourite things actually - seeing where our textiles end up - after they've been printed and rolled off our table and heat set and packaged up and sent off with the postie. Often it remains a mystery, but from time to time we get a email with a photo and we file it away for one day when we have a spare moment for blogging. Like now.

There's a lot to get through, so I'm just going to show you a couple of things today and will post more later in the week:


Catherine and Daydd's 1960's folding daybed


Catherine and Daydd's 1960's folding daybed

From memory, this Danish daybed has been in Catherine & Daydd's family for quite some generations, and they'd been looking for ages for the perfect fabric to cover it. They ended up requesting a custom print run of our Birch Design in Olive on our 100% Raw Hemp upholstery weight basecloth. The handy thing about the Birch is that it is a "railroaded" print - meaning the trees run from selvedge to selvedge. This means they could cover the length of the couch with no seams!

Another custom order, these fabrics made their way across the ditch to NZ to be made into roman blinds for Susanna's kids rooms. Love how these turned out!

P.S. - if you have any semi-decent photos of things you've made with our textiles, email them over and we'll attempt to blog about them in a timely fashion!
