Things got busy around here in winter, but some new fabric panels have just been listed in the shop. I've been wanting to work with bigger and bolder shapes lately, and do some more two-colour screen printing, and these are the first batch of prints. Hope you love them as much as I do. Plus happy spring if you live in the Southern Hemisphere...finally!
May Fabric Packs
It's already OVER halfway through May, so probably about time to mention the May fabric packs! There's a 3-fat quarter panel pack and a scrap pack, both in bright colours (in an attempt to counter the dull weather here in Melbourne). And fabric packs now come in cute little fabric pouches, because I love cute little fabric pouches.
Stocks of the packs are limited and there are only a handful of each left, in case you've been thinking about getting one. Happy sewing :)
Fabric fabric fabric, buttons buttons buttons
Every now and then I reach *peak fabric*, ie: I end up swimming in a sea of the sceenprinted goods. This week was one of those times, so I promptly made up a whole bunch of colour-coordinated fabric packs, which are available as of today. And if you want to be the first to hear about such things in the future, make sure you sign up for the (infrequent) mailing list and get first dibs.
Oh, and I also went crazy making fabric covered buttons, so all orders received in May will get some buttons thrown in, for good measure. I hope you love buttons as much as I do.
Happy Friday!

New fabric and quilt WIP
I've had a busy few weeks screenprinting a big new batch of fabric, which has just been added to the shop. This process started out with me figuring which of my designs go with which ink colour and onto which basecloth. I also tested each of my custom-mixed ink colours on each basecloth (you can see the swatches below). That was the fun part! Then came trying to Tetris all the printing in my small studio (see image further below!)
Next is to start working on another quilt, to add to my WIP collection (why finish one when you can start another, right). Maybe I should aim small (like the last photo below) - a practical lap quilt that takes about three pieces of fabric and not too long to make. I've also been planning on making a quilt pattern and *big* fabric packs, so watch this space.

A mix of Spin Spin designs screen printed onto a range of base cloth fabrics - linen, organic cotton and linen/cotton blend. Printed in Melbourne and professionally heat set and cured. The ink used is non-toxic.
Each pack is a bit over 400g (0.88 pounds) and contains a selection of fabric designs as seen in the photos, though each cut and design placement may be a bit different. Each piece is around 20x20cm or 20x30cm but some are bigger, some smaller.
Each pack would make a decent sized lap quilt, a range of quilted cushion covers or use the pieces for smaller craft projects such as lavender bags, wheat packs, eye masks or pillow covers.
I’d love to see what you make - feel free to share!
