Sherbet Pips Childrens Fabric

Sherbet Pips by Aneela Hoey for Moda is an irresistible children's fabric collection perfect for any number of projects from nursery and bedroom decor to sweet children's apparel and accessories. A clever collection  including whimsical designs of swinging girls and children scooting as well as the most delightful scarf stripe and fun play dot coordinate.

This is Aneela Hoey's first fabric collection for Moda and we suggest that if you love it as much as we do you purchase soon before it literally 'scoots out the door'! My girls are particularly taken with this sweet collection as their scooters and swing are the two things they enjoy the most and both have requested a scooter skirt to pair with their tights in winter, and a scarf of course!

Gypsy Caravan - Kristen Doran

Kristen Doran has done it again with this amazingly detailed whimisical gypsy caravan design! Hand screen printed in three colours on an eco-friendly hemp/organic cotton this decorator fabric is a knock-out when framed or sewn into cushions. See further inspiration from Kristen below.

I have also framed a gypsy panel in an IKEA 50 x 40cm RIBBA frame and this design has come up a treat! In fact, many of Kristen Doran's designs look amazing framed or stretched over a canvas or you might like to try our custom made features and we will create a gorgeous cushion or 6" cylinder table lamp just for you.

Amy Butler Soul Blossoms

Introducing Amy Butler's NEW stunning fabric collection Soul Blossoms - In Store Now!

Amy Butler shares with us her personal travels to India with this exquisite collection. Dreamy jewel toned prints in multi-hued flowers and designs - uplifting and passionate - weave together Amy's ethnic inspired story. Three truly amazing saturated color collections; Passion, Joy and Bliss, work in a harmonious treasure box palette for endless exotic combinations. As with all of Amy's collections, these fabrics look fabulous made into both adult and children's clothing, bags and cushions.

And what better way to show off the Soul Blossoms designs in all its glory than with loads of inspiration from Amy Butler...

One of my personal favourites, this spectacular Sari Blossom design has a beautiful intricate border running along both selvedges and would look lovely at the base of a wrap skirt or kaftan or as a feaure on a bag. .

Balloons Over Paris

If you can't visit Paris bring Paris to you with these NEW gorgeous whimsical Paris fabrics! 'Balloons over Paris' is a lovely collection of fabrics with beautiful Paris scenes and hot air balloons on a medium weight natural cotton/linen blend. The design is mirrored on both selvedges with the balloons floating in between.

  

Also a part of this lovely collection is French Balloons! Our house is set up high and we are fortunate enough to see hot air balloons floating in the distance always bringing much excitement from my daughters in the early hours of the morning! There is something about hot air balloons and the magic feeling of floating above the world!

Fabric Love!

Certainly one of my favourite japanese fabrics this year! I have already cut into a couple of colourways for some new barcelona skirts. Forest is a batik-style scattering of trees & apples with the odd bird perched in a tree, in flight or standing beneath these gorgeous trees. Printed on a 100% light weight cotton makes it the perfect dress fabric but any of these colourways would look fabulous made into anything really.

Lovely NEW Small Scale Japanese Fabric Arrivals

A selection of some of our NEW small-scale Japanese fabrics perfect for that 'little' project! I can see some lovely hair accessories, buttons, wee shoes, jewellery and bag linings made from a few of these.

Leave us a weee comment with what you would like to make using just one fat quarter of one of your favourites here and we will select eight responses and mail one fat quarter of their choice of the above Japanese fabrics to play with! If you are a mum like me you may just find a wee amount of time these school holidays to make something from it!

NEW Nani IRO Fabrics

We have recently added the NEW gorgeous NANI IRO fabric collection to our store. Oooh I can see some beautiful dresses, blouses, tunics, lounge pants and skirts made from these lovely light weight cottons and double gauzes!

A few images below from Nani Iro to inspire are below:

NEW Whimsical Double Gauze Japanese Designs

Bound to be a crowd pleaser with the girls!!

These Japanese double gauze keep getting better & better as well as more versatile! This NEW batch of double gauze is a gorgeous medium weight that is incredibly soft. I can see this lot made into beautiful winter skirts, pinnies or tunics for the girls. Cute as when paired with a long sleeve tee and a pair of winter tights! Or 'set the theme' for a stunning girl's bedroom or nursery.

I would love to see what some of our talented customers come up with for these exquisite designs. There are many NEW japanese fabrics to be added to our store in the coming days and it is great to see many of these are being printed on double gauze which is becoming increasingly popular with so many of our customers.

NOTE: Our sincere apologies for the continued delay with uploading customer handmade items to our gallery. We are currently working on our gallery as well as our NEW custom made area and hope to bring both of these to you soon. We also look forward to meeting many of our Sydney customers at the up & coming Craft & Quilt Fair on at the Sydney Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour from June 16-20!
