New Nani IRO Collection

The latest fabrics from Japanese designer, Naomi Ito have arrived and they're at least as gorgeous as her previous collections. There's a mixture of super-soft double gauze and some beautiful linens. The prints range from subtle florals to really unusual modern abstracts. If you haven't sewn with double gauze before, I'd urge you to give it a go. Usually soft fabric lacks body, but because double gauze is actually two layers of fabric, it holds shape quite nicely. So, what to make with it?

I'm a big fan of the beautiful Magnolia Square pop-up market (if you live in Melbourne you're probably already aware of it) and I try to attend most of the events. The next one is in late November.

GforGeorge - colourful magnetic boards with fresh fabric-covered magnets. Est - These guys were doing beautiful soaps and all things natural long before it became the trend of the moment. Their products are amazing! Chook Leaf - amazing leat...
