Magnolia Square

Brooke from Magnolia Square has just written a lovely post on the Magnolia Square Snippets blog about Duckcloth . Thanks Brooke! 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. The Magnolia Square team also writes a gorgeous blog, Magnolia Square Snippets which focuses on many of the retailers who attend the market, but also showcases other retailers and talented designers (mainly from Australia).

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? It's ideal for clothing and light homewares such as quilts and cushions. Not only is it beautiful to sew with, it's just so comfortable to wear. Whatever you make, I'd recommend you don't mess with it too much...just keep it simple...an a-line skirt, a throw cushion for a bed, a little girl's gathered top or dress. If you're looking for inspiration, one of our lovely French customers writes a blog called Les 4 rats which is sprinkled with stylish clothing and...
