Making, Making, Making!

I am currently in the process of making lots of lovely handmade products out of my own patterned digitally printed fabrics!
I am waiting to have all my products made, photographed and uploaded onto my website before I show my new designs...(hopefully not too much longer to wait!)
In the mean time however here are a few pics of the making process.. including my lovely woven name labels!

Using Iron on Vinyl

I really love the look of oilcloth fabrics and products however this is an expensive and specialist process! I began looking for possible ways of achieving a glossy, waterproof effect on my fabrics that I could do at home. I discovered 'iron on vinyl' and it literally does what it says on the tin!
Simply cut your vinyl to your desired size, peel off the backing paper, pop it on the fabric, then use the backing paper as a barrier between the vinyl and the iron and simply iron it on! Finally turn the fabric over and give it a quick iron on the other side too... and voila! shiny, waterproof fabric!
I made a little hanging pouch with my vinyl covered fabric pictured below!
