"It's So Me!" Sewing Patterns & Kits by Materialise

When people come into the store they often ask us if the products we have made are available in a kit or as a pattern. "It's So Me" is our new range of sewing patterns and kits......

 Butterfly Garland kits made with Liberty fabrics are now available. Each kit makes approximately 3 garlands (each 1.5m long) and there are two colourways to chose from.  Patterns are also available.

 Lots of new fresh & bright fabrics from M. Miller and A. Henry are also now available. Including the Spotted Owl in 4 different colours............ including a nice dark grey colour for the boys!


Speaking of boys..... This new colour palatte (above) is proving to be quite strong so far!


And above these new fabrics are a bit of retro paisley fun....

For those customers who read Quilter's Companion. Issue 49 has a strippy quilt designed and made by me which includes the instructions on how to make the quilt. The quilt called "Strawberry Fields Forever" is on display in the shop and includes fabrics that I have collected since I was a young girl. 

To celebrate the release of the magazine article we have put together some "Strippy Quilt Starter Kits" - shown above. In these kits we have included a selection of fabrics (The Hero's) & to personalise the kits and make them your own you choose the co-ordinating fabrics to complete the quilt. These kits are very limited due to the fabrics available. 

Spoilt for choice with all the new Novelty prints that have arrived we have made two simple panel cot quilt kits for babies. All you need do is sew up the precut strips. The quilt above shows Zoo in primary colours with teeny tiny Zoo used as the outer border.



This eye catching quilt is also available in the blue & green colourway shown above.....

"oh" she says.... "we built this city..."

Branching Out

New & exciting things are a foot at Materialise with lots of new stock rolling into the store, plus a few new crafting projects just to keep us guessing & playing and mixing it up.....!

I bought this cool panel fabric with a variety of cute & comfortable houses

& the groovy co-ordiantes below. There are many more in this range to choose from in the store including some cute chicken and miniature daisies.....

We all know how hard it can be to find beautifully soft plain fabrics in just the right shade of colour.... My long quest looking for such fabric has thankfully come to an end with these plain cottons by P&B. Made in the US the colour range is awesome and HUGE and I will be adding to it as the need arises. If you are looking for an exact colour........ I'm open to suggestions......

New Liberty fabrics are also available.......

 Including 5 inch charm squares in packs and co-ordinated fat eighth fabric packs...... Yum, yum!

 With lots of new colours to choose from my Butterfly garlands are coming back by popular demand. 

I am currently putting together the "Butterfly Kiss" kits in different colourways including a garland made using some of my vintage fabrics. 

To make way for all the new Liberty's I have decided to sell a few metres here and there of some of my old ones..... Each day I will bring in something new as I uncover & sort through my stash....

For quite a few years now I've enjoyed making beaded bracelets and the like for myself and my friends.... I've never known how to make them properly which was really annoying because I'd forever be losing my precious stones when the beading wire snapped!!! Ouch

Lately Alex has been making jewellery for the shop and so I've had the chance to learn a few new skills from him which has changed things immensely. Although still wearing training wheels I feel as though I have been given wings to fly.......

This beautiful linked sterling silver bracelet with a whimsical handmade daisy chain is quite covetable.

Come in and check out some of the other cool pieces Alex has made for Materialise.....
