Sneaky McPeeky

Psst...the beginnings of my new organic print line, a work in progress! I've only gotten sample yardage of one of my designs so far, but I'm so excited about it, I had to share. 100% organic cotton and hemp canvas. Yummy.

Snip snip, saving every scrap. I'm working on a special project with it right now that involves television. Eep. (No, it's not Martha) I'm flying out next week to shoot some craft segments for a show that won't air until next summer!

Luckily my fabric will be available way sooner than that. I'm hoping for a mini-launch late July (fingers crossed) and a big Ta-Da! launch in September.

    I've heard of people saving itty bitty scraps as stuffing for softies, but maybe they were even itty bittier than yours...

  27. It's so thrilling to know there will be some organic FUNKY fabric available!! Way to go you for taking this on. I am sure your new line will be incredibly successful and have my fingers crossed that someone will carry it in Canada (and if not, thank goodness for online shopping). I'm loving Sewing Green and collecting pillow cases like crazy; with all the new ideas floating around in blogland I'm sure they'll be even harder to find soon....K

  29. Gorgeous! Love the colours and the heaviness of the canvas. And I save all my little scraps-if you put ironon fusible "stuff"(sorry, it's early- brain not functioning yet) on the back you can cut them into all kinds of shapes and iron them onto bags etc. birds, leaves, dots...
