bedcovers

We are still working on a room makeover here. My daughter painted her room hot pink ( what can I say, it is her domain) and we have been making curtains and pillows to match the color scheme. On Sunday I made a quick throw for her using the cheater print "Patchwork Posy" from Kokka and a Stenzo print. She had a nasty ol' green fleece blanket that we used as the batting.
The other bedcover pictured here, is going to be a bday present for a lucky little girl. Sonia sent the photo in, it is her first sewing project in about five years.....(I am guessing the minion is maybe this age????). She used fabrics from a Stenzo fat quarter pack. Pretty darn cute.

repeat studio

Behind repeat studio are two ladies, Roisin Fagan and Arounna Khounnoraj. They share an interest and love for patterns and hand printed textiles and out of this love , repeat studio was created.

Roisin Fagan's patterns and imagery she draws, are based upon eccentricities and familiarities, and appeal to the historical aspect of Craft as well as the humourous everyday.

Arounna Khounnoraj's patterns are derived from the scribbles and daily observations of nature and her urban surroundings.

Volksfaden is pleased to be able to offer a selection of their hand printed, hand covered buttons. They can be found here, in our new, by the way "Buttons" category.

dalaclogs & förklädet

Here are products from two more Swedish online stores, dalaclogs and förklädet. Both websites are in Swedish but I am pretty sure that dalaclogs offers very funky handmade clogs, (I am so loving these moose clogs) and Förklädet offers headscarves and aprons in fun , colorful organic cotton prints. So sweet.

Their textiles are printed in Sweden and their products are all manufactured there. Here is a small sampling of their beautiful textile products but there is more more to see here on their website.

New patterns from the Australian based company Melly & Me have arrived. I love their charming, sassy designs. They can be found here.

I love these fabrics from Tone Finnanger's Tilda collection. They can now be found by volksfaden here.

westfalenstoffe

Westfalenstoffe opened their doors 75 years ago in Münster, Germany and are still there to this day. Their small prints are are based on traditional folk art designs and all of their printed fabrics are certified Öko-Tex-Standard 100. This means that the dyes used for the printing process are heavy metal and azoic free and the fabric has been treated and bleached without the use of chlorine and formaldehyde. Volksfaden has had fabrics from their organic cotton collection but I just recently added these tradtional Westfalen prints.
