Custom Made Cushion Launch!

We are all very excited this week to launch our Kelani Custom Made Cushion Service! Available on most of our fabrics we now offer a large, small and breakfast cushion with a choice of same fabric front and back or pattern front with a plain back from our solid collections. Look out for the 'create a cushion' image in our fabric descriptions. We pride ourselves on a good quality, durable cushion and look forward to sewing our first orders of beautiful cushion covers for our customers.

Home Beautiful

I am very excited to mention the lovely write up on Kelani Fabric in the current December issue of Home Beautiful! It was great to see a couple of fabulous Aussie products illustrated with a pic of Saffron Craig's beautiful unique christmas decorations as well as one of Angela's adorable 'Sew Your Own' dolls, Miss Buttons alongside talented fabric designers Anna Maria Horner and Amy Butler.

I must also mention one of the loveliest people I have met online since the launch of Kelani Fabric and that is Tara Davy. Tara is one of the design / illustrators for Home Beautiful and she has a fabulous blog Love Illustrated that showcases a daily fix of style, illustration, pattern and interiors. There are so many unique finds that I have discovered through reading Love Illustrated. Thanks Tara for the lovely emails and I look forward to keeping in touch with you.

NEW - Sandi Henderson Portabellopixie Boutique Patterns

Sandi Henderson Portabellopixie Boutique Patterns are a unique and stunning collection of beautiful childrens clothing and accessories. Sandi has taken a fresh approach to pattern making with all patterns printed booklet style with easy to follow full colour instructions and also include beautiful photographs of pattern variations and styles.

These patterns represent great value for money with each pattern including 3-4 variations. For example the Analise pattern shown above has 3 variations, a party dress, patchwork dress as well as a patchwork skirt. I have never come across patterns with such easy to follow instructions which include full colour diagrams (example below), produced in a quality 20 page booklet format, not to mention the amazing photography displayed throughout. All patterns also include sizing from 6 months to 8 years.

I am so impressed with these patterns and can't wait to get sewing myself - I just need to work out which one to start with as I love them all!

Sandi Henderson also has a really inspiring blog you can find here. Be sure to take a look at the free patterns on offer in her sidebar.
