Christmas shopping

I know Im a fabric a holic.  I cant help myself.  Now I own a fabric store, oh dear, I feel a rampant attack.  Especially when a box of yummy Christmas fabrics, current 2013 appear to tempt me.  I was restrained, I really was

I could not resist this Newcastle fabric, such depth of colour & it matches others already in the shop.  Im so glad that she didnt bring another box or I may have been exceedingly naughty!

Dont forget the special offer for newsletter subscribers.  It is free & there are other freebies & patterns etc from time to time.

Please would you head over to face book & like my new page.  I would love to build the page

HERE IS THE LINK

It has not taken so long to upload the new fabrics tonight, so I may be able to relax and enjoy the Great British Bake off & drool, maybe I will treat myself to a banana!

TRANSFER PRINTING

I am very pleased to announce that I am a guest artist in www.thethreadstudio.com new EZINE threads-in-fusion.
My article is on TRANSFER PRINTING.
I have two workshops currently for sale on the patterns page on my website HERE

Here is a different idea

I have wiped my large brush onto layout paper & let the colours dry, remember that they dont look the same colours when transferred 

I have cut & torn the papers to make a Courthouse steps look, a Patchwork technique.

This is what 4 repeats look like, really bright colours, compare with the originals.

This is transferred onto a stretchy polyester like fabric, a bit like teeshirt fabric

To stabilise it I ironed it to interfacing, before transferring & will stitch it with the stretch stitch on the sewing machine

A great way of making quick Christmas pressies
