Go Granny - Exclusive Behind the Scenes...
Apologies lovely readers - I know I promised to show the Go Granny behind the scenes photos last week, but then life and general craziness and phone problems and babysitting took over... yadda yadda yadda... you know how it is!
I must thank Brianna for snapping some photos while we working away trying to get the colours just right (and of course, for making me cups of tea).
It's actually quite cool to have some photos to document the final design process.
This was the very first print...
Checking the design size.
A few more rows.... check out that printer head whizzing past!
This was the first full metre printed...
The Money Shot!
Thankyou so much to Michelle from Frankie and Swiss for her invaluable help and hard work at such short notice. I was kind of in a huge rush to get printing...
Can't wait to get stitching with it now!
PS - I have panels listed in the shop but it's also available as metreage... just purchase multiple panels and I'll cut as one piece.

Granny is Go!
I had such an exciting day yesterday.
It was spent at the Frankie and Swiss studio finalising the colour and design of my Go Granny fabric.... and I even pressed the GO button on my very first commercial print run for this range!
It's printed on a 100% natural fibre 295gsm cotton canvas using water based, non-toxic solvent free inks.
It's perfect for all sorts of projects from purses, to bags, to skirts. I'm even going to use it to make myself some new curtains.
I have lots of lovely 'behind the scenes' pics to share tomorrow, but for now I just wanted to share the fabric and let everyone know that it's available for purchase in the shop.

My Creative Space...
In my creative space today...
Some more fabric samples that I picked up from Frankie and Swiss yesterday. I haven't managed to get the colours just as I like them yet, so there's still a bit if tweaking and testing to go.
The home of our creative spaces.

Granny Square Fabric is Go!
Gosh, such super exciting news today...
You may remember a little while back I designed and sampled some of my granny square fabric.
I even used it as a background in the promo shot that I used for the Cosmo FFF competition.
Well, in the coming week, I'm moving into production mode, and having it printed right here in Melbourne, by Frankie and Swiss, a new boutique textile printer.
I'm hoping to be able to offer for sale very very very soon.... but at the moment I'm doing a little happy dance!
