Fabric Friday: Tiki

Aloha!

We have received a new batch of goodies from Alexander Henry! These fantastic Tiki prints were ordered waaaaay back in November last year and we are so excited that they are here :D

First up, is Tiki Gods. It is possible that this may all get used up as shop 'samples' because Polymonkey needs a new shirt and Cloud is angling for a halter neck dress out of it. Cloud is slack though when it comes to getting around to sewing new clothes so get in quick!

If Cloud is lucky, I will let her have a dress or a halter top out of Tiki Island (above) instead of the Tiki Gods. Maybe. The aqua background is quite summery & this fabric would make an amazing bikini with matching sarong.

We have one more Tiki fabric on order (a smaller, red version of the Tiki Island). Hopefully it will arrive soon!

Ky

Where have the bunnies been?

It has been ages since we've updated the blog - sorry. Ky & I have been in Japan for most of February. Japan is heaven if you are seriously into textiles. The cotton prints there are amazing! We did a LOT of shopping in Fabric Town (Nippori, Tokyo). Between us, we brought back 103m of fabric!
Yesterday was the monster photoshoot so we can update the shop with the haul from Japan. It took us 9.5 hours and the processing / editing hasn't been done yet. Thank goodness Matt has awesome lighting equipment & magic pixies in his camera. There was no sunlight yesterday and his camera / lighting rig set up meant that we could still get the pics taken.

The trip wasn't all shopping for fabric though - I went to Hokkaido for the Sapporo Snow & Ice Festival, and to attempt skiing (which we shall not speak about). Near Sapporo is a place called Mt Moiwa with a cable car to the top. From there, you catch this to get to the summit:

 

Check out the logo on the side! It is actually a squirrel but it looks so much like a Voodoo Rabbit that I needed to share him with you.

PS: In Ky's last post she complained about how cold it was in Tokyo. At that time I was leaving Furano. It was -16 degrees celcius & snowing. I win!

Japan Shopping here we come

Cloud and I are now both in Japan and boy is it cold. We are both in different cities at the moment but rest assured that when we meet up next week we will be searching high and low for great new fabrics for our store.

Our Etsy store is in vacation mode for the duration of our trip and will be re opening on the 1st March with 3rd March being our first shipping date.
