Just a quick post to introduce Happy Chibi Girl Maribel:

And Samba the Shmerpi:

Both are for an order. Before I get back to more sewing, have you seen the fabulous fabric designs by fellow bloggers lately?

• Lara had some of her patterns professionally printed and I was able to snap some up before it sold out
• I’m hoping Shannon will get to produce some of her patterns also (love the Deer print!)
• Amy’s digitally designed fabrics are awesome and she used Bubblejet set. She provides some great pointers if you’re interested in printing out your designs yourself. She’s followed it up with a great tutorial on silk-screening patterns.

And lastly, I picked up the latest copy of Real Living magazine. They have a feature on some Aussie Fashion Designers and their homes. I absolutely love the kitschy/vintage look of Beci Orpin’s lounge room - especially that blue chair, the prints on the wall (which she designed herself) and that delightful round rocking doll!
