Creative Customer Competition Winner

Being Christmas and all and as it is a time of giving I have decided to reward all entries for our handmade inspirational gallery during the month of November with a $25 Kelani gift voucher.

A big thankyou to the following customers for sending me these lovely pics and for inspiring so many others.

Sue has made these fantastic boys tees with appliques and light weight denim shorts with feature pockets and cuffs using the Hoffman Beep Beep range of fabrics. Visit Sue's online childrenswear shop here.

Yvonne continues to amaze me with her exceptional sewing ability and fabulous colour and fabric combinations. Beautiful dress made from 'vintage cherries red' and skirt using 'apple dot autumn' both from Sandi Henderson's popular Farmers Market fabric collection.

Leah is another big fan of Sandi Henderson's Farmers Market and has made herself a lovely skirt using the fabulous Make it Perfect Versatile Wrap pattern.

I have mentioned this before but I love receiving pics of customer's handmade creations for the Kelani online customer inspirational gallery. Please forward any of your lovely images to gallery@kelanifabric.com.au for your chance to win a Kelani Fabric gift voucher.

The December creative customer winner will be posted here during the first week of January. I look forward to receiving your entries.

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.
