Somewhere Over The Rainbow

I'm ever so slightly obsessed with rainbows at the moment.

Yesterday I made myself a Rainbow Cushion for the couch, and then whipped up a couple extra for the shop.

I love the intensity of the bright colours!

Megan blogged about Melli's Rainbow Disco party yesterday too. If you love rainbow colours, then make sure to check it out. It's brilliant!

Have a rainbow of a day...

Make It Yourself Rainbow Bunting

If you're anything like me, then you're the type of person that buys all the supplies to Make- it-Yourself, rather than purchase a finished product.

So I've decided to pop some Rainbow Bunting Panels in the shop.

It's super simple:

• Cut them out along the outside edge of the black outline
• Cut a piece of backing fabric for each
• Place the front and back piece 'right sides together'
• Using a quarter inch seam, sew from the top right hand corner, all the way around the curve until you reach the top left hand corner (making sure you leave the top open).
• Trim the seams and clip around the curves (or use pinking shears)
• Turn out and press so that they are nice and flat
• Lay them out and check they're in the correct order (trust me on this one teehee...)
• Add some binding and voila!

 

Rainbow Bunting is GO!

After all the designing and prototyping, it's finally here!

The colours are exactly as I'd envisioned - happy, bright and fun.

Finished off with my favourite stripey binding...

And snaps to hook it up.

It's in the shop!

My creative space

There's not much going on around here today except for yet more hospital visits. I'm up at Ridonkulous O'Clock to battle peak hour, so that I can have a horrible test done. Yah!

Anyhow, to brighten things up I will show and tell the instagram photos of the latest little prototype that I whipped up earlier in the week.

I'm hoping these will be a hit for the young, and the young at heart!

There's more fabric arriving tomorrow, so with any luck these will be available in the shop from Monday.

 I must say that I'm enjoying designing packaging just as much as I love making stuff!
