New in Store - 11th December 2016

The year is drawing to a close but I am still receiving exciting new fabrics! This week I am introducing the Punk Skulls collection from David's Textiles, a couple of newbies from the popular Eclectic Elements Collection from Tim Holtz and a funky geometric range from Alexander Henry Fabrics. 

Adding to the gold bag hardware range I now have 12mm (1/2") d-rings and swivel snap hooks which are the perfect size for adding a strap to your Necessary Clutch Wallets.

New in Store - 4th December 2016

It is going to be early in the new year before the next shipment of new Alexander Henry Fabrics is due to arrive in Australia. I've had a ramage through the distributers warehouse and found a few hidden gems to tide you all over until then ;)

New in Store - 26th November 2016

Due to popular demand I am now stocking a selection of gold coloured bag hardware, there is more to come but for the moment this is the full selection. If you have a request for a particular product that you require in gold please let me know and I will see what I can do.

Rivets are now available in a new size, these ones have a 6mm cap and a 6mm long stem. They are suitable for the Necessary Clutch Wallet if you prefer a smaller head on your rivets.

There is now a new section on the website for pre-cut fabrics, this is where I will be adding any charm packs, layer cakes or jelly rolls. A few have been added to the website and there are a few random ones available in store that won't be added to the site.

New in Store - 20th November 2016

I am in Melbourne this weekend for the annual Australian Quilt Market so I have just popped in quickly to give you the weekly new in store round up:) 

I'm super excited to get the new Echino metallic cotton/linens from Kokka, Japan I've been waiting a while for these ones to come in :) 

I now have plastic grommets in 11 different colours available. These plastic grommets simply snap together, no tool required. You can use them on bags and clothing to provide extra stability on openings. They are required for the Monica Poole Designs Wrap Skirt and the You Sew Girl Fan Bag. 

For the dog lovers I have two new puppy prints from Timeless Treasures and a few oldies but goodies from Alexander Henry Fabric.

New in Store - 6th November 2016

This week I would like to introduce a new bag designer to my store, Lisa from Two Pretty Poppets. Lisa is an Australian designer and she has 11 patterns in print format. I have all of them available on the website and in store, I can't wait to get in and make some samples of these super cute looking patterns. 

We also had bagmaking supplies from Emmaline Bags and You Sew Girl arrive this week and next week I will have a large shipment of hardware from Hong Kong arriving as well. So 'almost' everything will be back in stock again.  I have already sold out of Style B frames from Emmaline but I will be getting more in again hopefully in two weeks. 

I have had some requests for gold coloured bag hardware, specifically the strap anchors but if there is anything that you really would like me to stock in gold please let me know and I will see what I can do.

New in Store - 23rd October 2016

Save 10 - 20% off Cork Fabric

The cork fabric has been a great success so I am aiming to do a much larger order which will include some new colours and patterns. I am offering the opportunity for you to pre-order the colours below at a discounted rate. The pre-order will run until Monday 31st October and I am expecting the stock to arrive sometime in early to mid November.

Pre-order Disclaimer:
These items are currently out of stock and are being offered for sale as a pre-order. Any additional items ordered with these items will not be shipped until everything is in stock (ie they will not be shipped separately).
Although I have been assured that the colours and quantities that I have ordered will be shipped to me I am at the mercy of the factory. If my stock arrives and I do not have the item you have pre-ordered I will offer you an alternative or refund your pre-order payment.


I am slowly working through the backlog of fabric I have to add to the website and this is the last of it, at least it would have been if another fabric shipment hadn't arrived during the week ;D
But I did add so many new fabrics this week that I have divided the collages up so you can actually see what the fabric looks like. First up we have some Alexander Henry Fabric with a bit of Tula Pink Slow and Steady and a piece of Cotton and Steel thrown in for good measures.

Next we have the new Alice in Wonderland fabrics There is a cute comic style one from Timeless Treasures Fabric. From Lecien, Japan there is a panel and matching print in three colour ways printed on Cotton/Linen.

New in Store - 16th October 2016

The Craft and Quilt Fair was a great success last weekend, a big thank you for everyone who popped in to see us :) The cork fabric was super popular at the show but I still have a few colours in stock. I have also added 4 bright new colours to the website.


New this week, we have fabric for both the dog and cat lovers out there with three new designs of each from Cosmo Textiles, Japan. All of them are printed on canvas weight cotton except for the two blue cats designs which are on light weight cotton. I have also finally listed the Ultra Firm Necessary Clutch Wallet Interfacing kit. If you prefer your wallets to be very firmly structured then this is the kit for you.

New in Store - 25th September 2016

This week I have added a very funky new retro repro range from Penny Rose Fabrics called Mid Mod. I love the red and teal colouring of this collection.
I wasn't going to get these in Ophelia from the Cotton+Steel Boo! Collection but they are just too awesome to resist and they are designed by one of my favourite fabric designers Sarah Watts.
Last but not least I have finally found a supplier of rivets and rivet setter tools. The 8mm x 6mm size is perfect for the sides of the Necessary Clutch Wallet.

New in Store - 18th September 2016

In addition to all the regular shop work I have been super busy making new bag samples for the 2016 Brisbane Craft and Quilt FairThis week I made the Rockstar Bag designed by Sew Sweetness. I have 
used True Love Tattoo Black By Andover Fabric as the exterior fabric, Ed Hardy Love Is True Roses Light Grey By Quilting Treasures for the lining and the red accent fabric is my go to Premium Solid Tomato (24) By Northcott. I have added the rockstar edge with rivets (coming to the website next week !!) and metal spikes (new in store this week). 

This bag is interfaced with Medium Weight Woven Fusible Interfacing on the lining and In-R-Form foam stabilser on the exterior. At times you will be sewing through 1/2" of foam stabiliser on this bag so you will need a sewing machine that can handle these kind of thicknesses. I found that my little Brother Innovis-950 couldn't handle the bulk (broke 5 needles learning this :/) but my Janome Memory Craft 4900 handled it fine. When sewing bags with a lot of stabilisers in them I find that a some form of double sided adhesive tape is brilliant for holding straps and zippers in place before sewing. It is also invaluable when inserting the piping and the bias tape on the lining seam, in fact I think that I used most a roll on this bag ;)
Overall this bag can be a little challenging purely due to the bulk of the foam stabiliser but the level of difficulty will come down to your sewing machine. 
I think you will all agree that the finished product is pretty awesome and worth a little effort :)


I still found time to list some new products over on the website, check them all out below :) I believe that Hot Wheels has been discontinued by Alexander Henry so this may be the last time that I will be able to stock it.

New in Store - 11th September 2016

A heap of new fabric has been added to the website again this week. One of my favourite fabric artists, Janet Wecker Frisch has released a collection of beautifully illustrated storybook panels for Quilting Treasures Fabric. The panels can be sewn up into a soft book (see video below) or used a panels in a quilt or runner. 
From the Timeless Treasures Wicked collection there are some pretty spooky Halloween designs featuring crows, stormy clouds, skulls and trees.

Also from Quilting Treasures Fabric is the new Santoro Mirabelle range, I have the panel and the two main co-ordinating fabrics in stock. For all of the Zombie fans there are two new The Walking Dead fabric which go wonderfully with the Robert Kaufman blood splatter prints which is available in both black and white again. 
The Day of the Dead Kitty fabric was incredibly popular, I now have the puppy version available. I am curious to see which is more popular, cats or dogs.

New in Store - 28th August 2016

I'm very excited to announce that I now stock Cork fabric. Also known as vegan or cork leather, it is perfect for sewing on a home sewing machine! Great for bags and wallets. It is created by adhering thin slices of natural cork onto a Poly/cotton fabric backing. It is available in a range of colours and really adds that professional finish to a project.

Necessary Clutch Wallet by Emmaline Bags made with Wine Red Cork

Speaking of Emmaline Bags I have added the brand new Gabby Bag to the website and a few new additions to the bag bling.

New in Store - 14th August 2016

I have had so many new fabrics come in over the last week or two that is is going to take me a few weeks to get them all up on the website. This week I have added a couple of Cotton & Steel fabrics from the Playful and Tokyo Train Ride Collections. 
Frida's garden in the home decorator weight are back in the ever popular black and tea colour, be quick if you want either of these as they generally don't last long. 
For those of the rockabilly persuasion there are flamingos, zombie pinup girls, day of the dead and tattoo sewing notions.
Vintage Vogue and Butterick ladies dress patterns have also been restocked with an addition of a new Circa 1954 close-fitting dress with low scoop neckline bodice extending into cap sleeves, upper bodice front gathers, darted at waist, flared skirt.
