New Voodoo Rabbit Website

The fabulous Voodoo Rabbit have launched their new webstore. You can now buy all their rare, cute and quirky fabrics and their great selection of patterns, kits, hardware and interfacings in a slick new online store. 

Not only is the new store pretty, it is packed with loads of new features which should make shopping with them even better. 

• You can now order fabric by the metre! If you want 0.6m of fabric you can order it - no more mucking around converting fat quarter increments to uncut lengths. You can still buy in fat quarters if you prefer, just click the button to let us know which way you'd like us cut your fabric.
• Payment options now also include direct deposit for Aussie bank account holders.

• Improved shipping options, including upgrades to registered and Express post as well as pick up from the showroom if you are based in Brisbane.

• Related products for listings. Now if you click on a bag pattern you can see the links for the hardware that goes with it!

You can find my patterns HERE.


Vilene S320 is HERE.


Bag and Purse hardware is HERE.

The web address hasn't changed - head over to http://www.voodoorabbit.com.au/ to check out the new website.

As a special bonus they are offering all You Sew Girl fans a 10% discount from 23rd - 29th July. Simply enter the code YOUSEWGIRL10 at checkout for your discount.

I get around...

...fabric stores. If you've heard rumours suggesting I get around anywhere else, please be assured that they are greatly exaggerated entirely fictitious.  I don't even go out. 

My patterns, hardware and interfacings, however, are getting out there.  Every week, we get loads of enquiries about where to buy You SEW girl! goodies, now that I've closed the online store, so I thought it was time I did an update. 

Well, of course, you can still come in to see us in Northcote....

Failing that, the list of stores - both online and bricks-and-mortar - is expanding on my website stockist page. And if your local/favourite doesn't have the YOU SEW GIRL! products you're looking for, please ask them to get them in for you. You (as consumers) have more sway than I do on that front. 

GJ's in East Brunswick (pictured at top) was one of the first stores to take on my patterns in 2004.  They still stock the full range of patterns as well as hardware and interfacings.  They also display loads of my samples.   GJ's don't have an online shop, but if ever you're in Melbourne, it's well worth the trip to this little gem.

For you online shoppers,  The CurlyPops Shop launched my patterns this week, to compliment the fab CurlyPops fabrics and hand-crafted goodies. If you look through the archives of her blog, you'll see that these patterns have been tried and tested by the fabulous Ms CurlyPops.

Under the Mulberry Tree and Voodoo Rabbit have my hardware online and Voodoo Rabbit also has my patterns.  Other stores, such as Eureka Patchwork in Ballarat have the full range and assure me that it's on the way to being online.

And there's more on the way to Townsville, QLD.  If you're on Facebook, watch Little Miss Quilty and Quilter's Blessing for news of a huge range of patterns, hardware and interfacings arriving...any day now..... and there might also be exciting news about workshops.  Stay tuned.
 Quilt Fabric Delights did indeed list patterns, hardware and interfacing online this week.  You can see it (and purchase online) here.

In other news, my newly revamped Pyramid Purse Pattern is available as a pdf download through Pink Chalk Fabrics.  It even made cover-pic for the Pink Chalk newsletter this week.

And don't forget that on Wednesday, I'll be at Bargain Box Fabrics in Mornington.  Do drop in if you're in the area.

I'll also be in Canberra on the weekend, at Addicted to Fabric.  They also stock a wide range of my paterns and hardware, and carry a great selection of interfacings.

Well, that's enough excitment for me for a while.  I must get back to my knitting.

Itchin' for Stitchin'

Great shop name.  And a very lovely shop.

On a trip out west to see family today, I dropped in some patterns and samples to Itchin' for Stitchin at 11 Grant St, Bacchus Marsh (just up the road from where I finished High School). 

While I was talking patterns and snapping photos, I set the wee girl a task to find her favourite fabric....

In her own words, "There are too many that I really, really love!"

 There really is a fabulous range of fabrics, ribbons, embroidery threads and all sorts of everything.  There are Phaff sewing machines.... and now, You SEW Girl patterns!

 And yes - we found an absolute favourite fabric.....

PS. The girl is wearing an A-line shift dress, adapted from THIS book, in Martha Negley fabric.

I'm in London...

Well... not so much ME... I'm in the colourful Northern suburbs of Melbourne. But you can now buy my patterns and kits (and fondle hat and purse samples made by me) at Kleins in Soho - 5 Noel St, London W1F 8GD - Phone 020 7437 6162.

Kleins also stock every sort of haberdashery you'd ever be likely to need (and some you never knew existed). Just ring the bell and pop in to see Raymond. Tell him Nikki sent you!

Failing proximity to London, keep your eye on the developing online Kleins store...

Many thanks to my sewing buddy for delivering the samples on her holiday. You're a treasure!

More hats

Hats for boys...Hats for girls...

Oh, Lordy....

GJ's Discount Fabrics are having a 25% off sale. All patchwork fabrics, battings and craft materials are 25% off. I dropped off a few patterns today and came back with a bag of fabric.

There's a phrase about a child in a sweetshop....
