Special Deliveries

One delivery today stopped me in my tracks and made me make a Fedora in Anna Maria Horner fabric.

Very exciting to see Vilene S320 again - come all the way from Germany especially to see me. I'm still as besotted with it as I was was time it was in town. It is the BEST hat interfacing I've ever used (and I've made a LOT of hats!). For this Fedora I used two layers of S320 on each piece of the hat. Even after being scrunched to bits while I was sewing, it pressed back into perfect shape and holds its form. It's in the shop HERE!


Also SUPER-CUTE little zipper pulls arrived!! The motifs are a very tactile rubbery material. The attachment rings connect directly to the existing zipper tab to make zippers easier for little hands to manage on kid's clothes. They also make a simple coin purse look special (and make it easier to open and close) and would be sweet on handbags (or kid's backpacks) as well. Practical and cute - gotta love that.

They're $3.65 each... AND THEY'RE NOW IN THE SHOP!

We also have a small quantity of Birch Bias Maker sets - sizes 12mm, 18mm and 25mm for . They're not Clover (although these days they're trying hard to look like them... notice the colour scheme...?) but it's a set of 3 for $17.95. A cheap and cheerful alternative - NOW IN THE SHOP.


And we have a small quantity of 19cm round bamboo handles - a really nice quality handle - running out at $6.50 a pair. They're being discontinued so they're a finite resource.

PS. Ok, I admit the Fedora is only blog-finished. That hatband is just sitting there, pretending to be sewn on. I thought I'd get away with it but it's looking a bit loose and free there.

OK. NEXT summer, I really will make hats. Hopefully then the anklebiters will know how TO KEEP THEM ON THEIR HEADS.

I will be buying some of those boyish zipper pulls from you in the very near future! They look great - especially the airplane.

That fedora is so cool! I love it! I hate myself in hats I always think I look over accessorised?! It looks so great!
