I've been looking for ways to use up more fabric off-cuts and love the idea of adding fabric covered buttons to our product range.
Do you like them? These are the samples featuring our Red Hydrangea print and Blue Marine Marguerite print. One button size will be 28 mm (as pictured) and perhaps a smaller size too. Any preferences?
Of course we will continue to offer our Scrap Packs because you are a creative bunch. Keep checking our SALES Page too as I've been adding new items daily.
PS a new Yardage Printing class is scheduled for the April school holidays and will be open for bookings at the end of the week. Today, our screen-printing class will be printing our new Lilacs fabric design. Can't wait to see it on fabric!
What a strange combination, I know. They're the fabrics that we are discontinuing to make room for the new.
Pop over to buy "Dotty about Roses" on natural linen at less than 1/2 price until stock sells out. Available in Red, Creme or Blue prints.
And "Mushrooms" on Hemp/Organic Cotton too. Choose from Red or Chocolate Brown prints.
Now you will have to excuse me now as I need to rush off to a family Christening but will be sharing a new stockist and fabric design with you very soon!
This year for me is all about embracing and trying new things.
Last week, it dawned on me that I never wear green and in fact, we don't even print it on any of our new fabrics which is quite unfair on my part. BUT, you will be pleased to know that I stepped out of my comfort zone on Friday and purchased the most fabulous silk dress in GREEN & black.
It was the last day of our Sunshine Coast holiday and I enjoyed some 'Me Time' shopping in Noosa's fabulous Hastings Street, as you do.
I don't know why I didn't like green before because I really like this green, don't you? So yes, Ann, we are printing green colourways very soon!
We did make it to the beach one day after days of endless rain and I pondered the use of Tangerine?
It is, after all, Pantone's Colour of the Year. While I'm not one to generally follow trends, I did start thinking about it a little more when a decor magazine asked if we had any Tangerine products to submit for their next issue.
Well, we may just have because in our own studio, we can print any colour we like.
Look at this seagull, he's really rocking the Tangerine Look (legs and beak). It's not so bad. I hope Mr Gull and I have inspired you to try a new colour this year.
I seem to get a lot of questions about the Permaset Aqua inks we use. I thought I would answer a couple of them publicly in case any of you may have encountered the same issues.
Q: Ashley from the UK wants to know how to avoid getting streaks when mixing different colours together.
A: We use a hand-held mixer and make sure to stop and scrap the inks from the bottom of the bowl/mixing container with a spatula every so often.
Q: Jane from the US was using the Permaset "Transparent White" ink in her colour mixing which has now been discontinued. What should she do?
A: I like using the Permaset "Print Paste" for diluting colours and for when you don't want a pastel shade. That would be achieved by mixing with the opaque "Standard White" ink.
Don't forget to heat-set all printed fabrics!
Disclaimer: Permaset Inks do not pay me for this advice. It is solely based on my own experience.
