    Add a Dupatta To Your Wardrove

    We brought in some gorgeous Indian block print cotton and to extend your wardrobe we thought we'd add some fun things to the shipment like these excellent 100% cotton Dupatta, like a a shawl or wrap. 

    Think of them as a summer pashmina. You can throw one around your neck or over you shoulders on a cool evening and look good doing it.

    Topography and Terrain

    Once a geographer, always a geographer, I still can't resist even the hint of a map. Riley Blake has this annual collection celebrating US National Park Posters, which on the whole doesn't really speak to me, but this year they included these excellent terrain and topographic prints. Now you're talking!
    We thought they'd be perfect for some pre-camp or pre-cottage sewing. Pajamas? Toiletries bag? Laundry bag?

Your sewn garments will work for your unique shape and features. 

    For those of us who don't fit standardized measurements (which may include everyone?) this could be a game changer in your garment sewing.

    Whiskers from Makower is Here

    This pretty group arrived from Makower UK. Whiskers is for all of the cat lovers out there who also like cute fabric (you know who you are). The collection includes a very cute panel that will lend itself to some fun fussy cutting!

    Use the panel for fussy cut principle blocks then use the other prints to piece fun shapes, frames or log cabins around the "hero" cats. Save the stripe for your frisky binding!

    Neon PVC

    We're all quite smitten here with this awesome brightly coloured PVC vinyl. If you're thinking about a project bag, or maybe a super fun hooded cape for your little one, why not a rain hat that is also a safety beacon?

    Definitely consider one of our four available colours
