Va Va Voom!

Thank you Scoutie Girl for featuring Thea & Sami's hand-printed Va-Va-Voom Top on your fabulous blog.  



Scoutie Girl has "a penchant for the passionately handmade" and sources the globe for the best in hand-crafted design.

Our Va-Va-Voom Top is also available in plain black or white organic cotton/spandex jersey.  The organic cotton remains soft while the spandex ensures that the garment fits well and retains its form.  Who said eco can't be sexy?



The top is shown here with our Classic City Skirt hand-printed with our Marguerite design on certified organic linen.

Printed Organic Linen

Beautiful hand-printed organic linen fabrics have now been added to the Thea & Sami on-line store.



I love these exclusive fabrics and have been using them in our own line of stylish organic clothing, such as the black wrap dress. Clothing will be added to the shopping site at a later date.

The linen is lightweight and ideal for making dresses and blouses. No need to dry-clean either as adding nasty chemicals into fabrics that don't have it defeats the purposes of buying them. Hand-washing or a gentle cold-machine wash is safe; guaranteed by me personally as I always wash my clothes this way.



You can also order these fabrics unprinted to coordinate with printed panels or whatever clever ideas you come up with. See organic fabrics.



You will also be able to view and purchase these fabrics at the Brisbane Stitches and Craft Show.

Mexican Climber

Fresh & Modern. This is my new favourite product! What do you think? Leave your comments on this or any other of my blog entries before December 10th for your chance to win an adorable Door Mouse.

This is our Mexican Climber design hand-printed on 100% certified black linen border. The white towel is certified organic cotton as per the previous Blossom design.

A few weeks ago I had breakfast at the bayside Fish Cafe and visited the Manly Creative Markets where I purchased a wonderful pre-owned botanical book. That is where the inspiration for this design came from. This plant had some complicated scientific name but we opted for the simpler "Mexican Climber" as it is exactly that and we thought it sounded kind of cool.

Currently, I am collaborating with a lovely young designer who studied Textile Design in Wellington, New Zealand. Her name is Madeline McGregor and she is the talent behind this design. I'm sure you will agree that she is a great illustrator.

Watch this space for more of Maddy's upcoming work. She will be bringing some of her own work joining me this Sunday, December 7th at the Young Designers Markets.
