New fabrics!!!

Possibly the most exciting reason to return from holidays - we've printed some new fabrics!!

It's so exciting to see something from your head turn into something real, which is particularly the case with this new two colour version of our Kangaroo Paw print. Being a print of such a large scale, I wanted to come up with a texture to print in the background so it would work well in smaller pieces. And then Harvest came along, with Lara Davies' gorgeous dashes print, and we worked together to adapt it for yardage. Yay!

Here's the first couple of colourways we've done, each with the Dashes print available on it's own as a complimentary. All available in the shop right now :)




Kangaroo Paw in Red Orange and Snow


'Dashes' in Snow


Kangaroo Paw in Charcoal and Teal


'Dashes' in Teal

And then last but not least... we recently got some of our GOTS certified organic cotton dyed in a gorgeous charcoal colour, and so we present Rooftops in Black on Charcoal. Yay! We love how this turned out, and figure maybe it might even be deemed suitable for the man in your life ;)

We'd love to hear what you think, and if there's any other colourways you'd like to see :)

I usually lean toward teal, but I have to admit the Kangaroo Paw in Red Orange and Snow is pretty special!

The rooftops look great on charcoal.
I like them all!

Oh my, the charcoal and teal is lovely. It immediately made me think of being outside at the crack of dawn on a chilly morning - hang on,that sounds awful! Um... a clear, crisp winter morning? Anyway, I love it!

They all look lovely ladies! I really like the depth that the dashes add to the kangeroo paw.

[Hope you both had a great break!]

I love the Kangaroo Paw! One of my favorite things about hand printed fabric is the layering of the ink when you put pattern on pattern. Gorgeous!

Ooh - it's been a while since I've looked on here - the Kangaroo paw in Red Orange and Snow reminds me of my winter break to Tasmania - went out for a lovely bush walk and got snowed on! Perfect print ladies!
