I’ve just added a new product to the Vetty Creations website: Sewline fabric pencils. This fabric marking pencil is much better for marking fabric than a normal HB pencil and a fabric marker pen (texta). Why? It has ceramic lead that is designed to be easily removable from fabric.

I already have the stock, so […] While in Adelaide, I had the opportunity to launch Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. Months before, I had talked with Fiona from Country Bumpkin about the possibility of doing this, but I wasn’t sure that it was going to be possible until I knew that the books were here in Australia in my possession, […] Portuguese Whitework is now available in Europe! 😀 Its early days yet, so while the big online book retailers (I think you’ll know the ones! Amazon, Book Depository etc.) have it already, it might take a little longer to make it to your favourite needlework store or bookstore. If you want your favourite store to […] |
