Kristen Doran Hummingbird Inspiration

Kristen Doran has made this gorgeous dress from her latest Hummingbird hand screen printed fabric in our Kelani Exclusive fabulous colourway of Chocolate & Raspberry printed on a lovely cotton/linen blend. Hummingbird is also available in mustard & grey. I just love the exquisite detail in each of Kristen's textile designs!

Craft Schmaft

NEAT name... EVEN Neater designs by Claire Waring..

We all know the 'sock monkey' well, but incredibly talented fellow Aussie Claire Waring has taken sock softies to a new level and designed her own beautifully presented and packaged patterns and kits, each as adorable as the next! How cool is "Woof Woof" above made from a pair of plaid brown mens socks and coordinating designer fabric OR

"Mini Owl"

"Mummy Owl"

"Owl Mobile" (What a Hoot!)

and my favourite due to my youngest daughter being an absolute giraffe freak (maybe I can finally put away her giraffe security toy) - G-RAF!

Available for purchase here as kits including absolutely everything required to make these cuties (even the stuffing, needle & thread!) or as patterns for you to make your own sock and fabric choices. These would make a fabulous Xmas gift idea for the avid crafter or a gorgeous handmade children's or newborn gift certain to be treasured for years to come...

WARNING: Very addictive.. Once you start.. You won't want to stop!
