Birthday boy and dog

Sally — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:05:23 +0000

Where has the last year gone, Alfie turned 1 yesterday, it doesn’t seem possible. We had a little tea party for him which he thoroughly enjoyed. One of the highlights for him was playing with his favourite little tractor, as you can see, he is making ‘full-on’ tractor noises! One of his presents from us was ‘dog’. Alfies first word wasn’t ‘mama’ or ‘dada’, it was ‘dog’, so it only seemed right that he got a sausage dog for his birthday. I used Farmdale Crosshatch Mustard for the body, Farmdale Blossom Red for the tail and Duck Egg Linen for his ears. When Alfie saw him he ‘arrrrrred’ him with a big squeeze – sweet!

Cosy knits

We’ve added some lovely cosy jersey to the shop. It would be great for children’s clothing, hats, tops backing of dribble bibs and snuggly taggie blankets. Its 150cm wide, so 1 FQ will give you 75cm x 50cm. Please note its important to wash this before use as there will be shrinkage, between 15-20%.

And the winner is……

Jennie, comment 22 – congratulations! This is what Jennie suggested:-

‘I adore your site and cannot help but buy lots every time I visit.

What would be helpful in my eyes is seeing all the fabrics in a category in one go rather than having to clck the option or browse per page, if that makes sense. Also because I usually trawl through all the categories anyway I would like to have to option to see all fabrics in one huge list, regardless of what category they are in. And then being able to sort by colour would be great.

And i agree that more customer or your projects would be really inspiring.

But keep up the good work as yours is one of my favourite websites!’

Thank you to everyone that entered and for all your comments, we’ve had some great suggestions. Its an exciting time for Fabric Rehab, watch this space for the new and improved shop…

We’ve received some fantastic new fabrics from Alexander Henry, the designs pictured have a real Autumnal feel about them, ideal for Halloween projects – apple bobbing anyone? Why not embrace the changing of the seasons with some fabric therapy!

Gorgeous Gingham

Sally — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:05:04 +0000

The shop now stocks some lovely gingham, we thought they warranted their own category, so you can find them easily. The width is longer than standard, so you get more to work with, a FQ measures 80cm x 50cm, so if you want 1/2 a metre you’ll receive a piece measuring 160cm x 50cm.

What’s New?

Lots, that’s what! We’ve had a dry spell as far as deliveries go (not as far as the weathers concerned!), stacks has been ordered – but its taken a while to reach us and I’m glad to say its started to arrive.

First we have Kiss Me Owl Pink and Kiss Me Owl Chocolate, super sweet owls just twit twooing for good homes!

It might still be officially summer but the inclement weather has got me thinking about Christmas. I’m the first to twitch when Christmas crackers arrive in the supermarkets 3 months early, but we had to get this adorable reindeer fabric in the shop now. If you look closely you can spot Rudolph with his red nose. Perfect for stockings, runners and tablecloths. You’ll find him here in Funky Christmas.

Next we have the new Free as a Bird collection, lots of pretty colours, dots and sweet little birds.

Finally we have a new fabric category, Organic Cotton. Here you will find the lovely new collection by Nancy Mims ‘Free to Grow’, gorgeous designs that are produced using 100% organic cotton. We have organic plains to add to this category, they should be in the shop next week.

The fabric used for this sweet dress (Itty Bitty Baby dress) is on order, hopefully due to arrive soon. The good news is you can download the pattern free from Made by Rae. This is a lovely blog with lots of great patterns, I particulary like the ‘Big Butt Baby Pants’ – I’ve got to make some for Alfie!

As you can see we’re already taking your comments on board (free patterns), your input has been fantastic – keep it coming!
