MARKET SEASON HAS STARTED! SEE ME IN WILLIAMSBURG

Have you been to Artists and Fleas? http://www.artistsandfleas.com/
It's a great market in Williamsburg on the weekends, indoor and out.
My first visit there will be Sunday April 11th.
I hope you stop by and see my new products. It's been a long, long winter and I have been sewing up a nor'easter in my studio. Andy, the bf, has been patient with all of my fabric and products hanging everywhere. Give a holla' to my boy as they say.
A few of the things you will find are:

 

TEATOWELS

LAPTOP CARRIERS

PLACEMATS AND NAPKINS

 

PILLOWS  

 

PURSES AND GROCERY TOTES THAT ARE WATER RESISTANT!

And let's not forget the furry ones.....pet mats for cats and dogs.

Claudius, a customer, pawing at the catnip. Thank you Harriet for sending!

 

And Hermes snoozing on the black faux fur mat.

And remember everything is one of a kind and made in NYC by me!

Everything at the Artists and Fleas is handmade by independent artists. Open Every Saturday & Sunday 12-8pm. 129 N. 6^th Street (between Bedford & Berry)   Public Transportation: L Train to Bedford; G Train to Metropolitan; JMZ to Broadway.

Fabric and houseware stores in Sydney.

Back from Sydney for a week now, how time flies. I wanted to point out a few more fabulous spots.

Cheesoon and Fitzgerald
387 Crown St
Surry Hills
cheesoonfitzgerald.com

This store sells Marimekko fabric off the bolt along with other manufacturers. They also sell lots of cool housewares you won't find in other stores. The guys in here were quite nice and pulled out their 2 big baskets of remnants for me to sort thru. I purchased myself some great off cuts of Marimekko (BF helped me choose) so keep an eye out for some new product. Some of these will also be used for the patchwork quilt I am starting. Of course right now just collecting swatches for this.


Cloth- great store that does their own design and printing. Very simple monochromatic or 2 colour contrast prints. The women in here were super nice and have awesome product. I picked up some cool fabric covered buttons which I can't wait to use on some bags.

Birdtextile 380 Cleveland St Surry Hills Syndey  http://www.birdtextile.com.au/
My dream store. Fabric, clothes and housewares. I can spend hours in this store but prefer to own my own. This wonderful store is all about sustainability in design.

All of these shops have so inspired me! A pretty successful trip...now to start sewing!

Before I go, one more pic, I met this handsome one outside Birdtextile.
