Prints Charming- Bright and Funky Fabrics

If you are an avid sewer you probably have a favourite colour way that you usually turn to. I know I do. It’s the style your fabric stash is full of. Choosing from your favourites is always fun and will always make your heart sing. You probably have some favourites that are so special that you cannot bring yourself to cut into them. They are the ones you get out every so often just to look at, refold and then place safely away. They lay waiting for that truely worthy project. I totally understand, I have many fabric pieces stashed away patiently waiting for that magical day!

But ever now and again it is refreshing to look at fabric that is completely different. This has recently been my experience as I have come to know the fabric tastes of some new friends. Since moving interstate I have met some wonderful new sewing friends who have welcomed me on their fabric hunting  expeditions. I’ve been able to see first hand their purchases and to then marvel at the exciting ways they have used these fabrics to create beautiful items.

This new insight has given me a fresh look at all fabrics and I now see possibilities jumping out at me everywhere. So much so that I have been experimenting with some fabrics I would not normally have bought. And I must say I’m very pleased with the results.

This brings me to an ezxciting new site I have just found at: http://www.printscharming.com.au These girls look like they are having the time of their lives with creating bright, funky, fun fabrics for us to enjoy. Their use of colour is sure to inspire you as it has done me. Their original designs are quite unique and make me smile.

These talented ladies were featured in a recent Country  Craft and Decorating magazine and I noticed when I was on their website that their fabrcis are selling out fast. So if these fun fabrics tickle your fancy then be quick.

Prints Charming- don’t they have  a fabulous name?

They come in 112cm widths and are selling for $24 AU per metre.

Here’s a few samples from the Prints Charming ranges on offer.

Hope you enjoy and happy fabric hunting.

Warmly Lenna
