Calling All Crafters



Like most fabric lovers, I have accumulated quite a stash over the years.  However, in the name of decluttering and boosting my cash flow, I decided to start printing the fabrics that are taking up studio space.  Thus, we have been printing all week and while these particular fabrics are not organic, it is a good thing to pass them on to clever crafty types who can make something wonderful with them. As we have used fabrics in stock, these particular colourways are limited-edition and will not be repeated. Organic fabric packs will be on offer too.

I love printing over patterned fabrics such as this cotton ticking. Look out for our own layered designs that are coming soon.
   

I spent the better part of today cutting and packing the fabrics into craft packs.  It took me a while to figure out the best way to do this and folding and ironing each set gave the best results.  The packaging is biodegradable cellophane and I am waiting for some recycled card labels to arrive this week.

We will be selling the fabric packs at the Young Designers Market at South Brisbane this coming Sunday and then at the Stitches and Craft Show in Melbourne from March 11 - 15th.   I will also be packing some vintage fabric pieces into packs.  

 

Hint for my blog readers - go to Living Creatively to print out a Thea & Sami voucher to save 15% off 2 or more products to use at either event.  The voucher does not apply to sale items and there will be lots of clearance items at the Young Designers Market.

See Us at the Show

Thea & Sami has been selected as one of the Indie Designers to exhibit in the Incubator Section of the Stitches & Craft Shows this year.  Shows will be held respectively in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.  The shows are being organised by Living Creatively to appeal to a younger and broader audience then previous years and there is a lot happening!  There are workshops, demonstrations and lots of Australian hand-made and crafting products to see and buy.

Living Creatively is a cool on-line community dedicated to creativity so check it out here for more information, show updates, sewing projects and even business tips.

The first show will be held at the Melbourne Showgrounds from March 11 - March 15, 2009.  We will be printing lots of new organic and natural fabrics, homewares and eco-fashions to show you all.  Please let me know if you are intending to attend and of course, come and say hello!



Our popular Fretwork design is now available for purchase in our on-line store.  Other designs and colours are also listed and are printed on hemp/organic cotton.  I will be giving away some fabric soon so keep following the blog.  Soon to be listed is our new mushrooms fabric in natural linen.
