DIY fashion, indie design, fabric art supplies: the blog Wednesday 6 August 2008 Where to buy organic baby clothing ready to print or decorate - so many people have been wanting to know. At last we've got great designs in certified organic cotton. Rompers, bibs, hats, and t-shirts for baby, "big O" t-shirts for grown-ups as well. Going organic does not have to be expensive, as these styles show. First shipment due in early September 2008, so get ready to order. More styles coming. Friday 18 July 2008 How to start a baby clothing business? Here's a great article on getting started - and why to keep going. Read about three success stories: Oobi Baby, Dew Drop and Petit Maison here http://smallbusiness.theage.com.au/growing/sales/sewing-up-the-baby-business-913534217.html?page=2. Wednesday 12 February 2008 Lots of exciting new offerings this month. There are new colours in popular styles, and long-awaited long sleeve t-shirts for children. Friday 25 January 2008 The big news this summer is definitely ultralight fabric for t-shirts. Our hottest lines are Ladies Ibiza Featherweight Designer Tee, and Mens/Ladies American Style T-Shirts, and the Breeze Ultralight. Our regular t-shirts are available in ultralight fabric at a bargain price, if you can live with black or white only. The more generous cut of regular tees suits the current oversize t-shirt look. Wednesday 29 August 2007 We've got blank baby clothing coming eventually. Australian made. Too beautiful an idea for baby shower gifts, boutique items, craft stalls, funky custom decoration. Thursday 19 July 2007 Our new online shopping department opens, and our range of DIY creative fashion products is expanding as fast as data can be entered. Our old 'DIY Supplies' section is now renamed "DIY World", and the new "DIY Supplies" section is a store menu item on the right-hand navigation bar. Monday 16 July 2007 We've just added a whole new range to our store. We're loving the quality of these new garments, and the way they arrive individually bagged and swing-tagged ready for pricing. This added value is sure to interest some of our boutique customers. And we've ventured into whole new areas of blank world with things like roadie jackets. Ours have a heavy fleece lining with a nylon outer, and aside from being very durable and practical they are also really stylish in that authentic roadie-looking way (apologies to Frank Zappa). Tuesday 15 May 2007 At last we can manufacture small quantities of custom made clothing in Australia at reasonable prices. This is a real breakthrough for customers wanting to make a range of maternity t-shirts; schools, sports teams and companies needing raglans or hoodies in custom  colour combinations; and boutique customers wanting that authentic designer look under their own label.  More info on custom made t-shirts and hoodies is here. Wednesday 7 May 2008 New arrivals include baby hoodies and baby sweaters - so welcome in time for winter. Monday 30 April 2007 We are currently gearing up to offer Australian made t-shirts made from Australian organically-grown cotton (no irrigation or pesticides). They're not cheap, but very beautiful and an investment in our nation's environmental and economic future. We are also actively sourcing long-sleeve kids t-shirts, ladies long-sleeve t-shirts, and more 4XL and 5XL manufactured stock options. Tuesday 24 April 2007 Plain aprons are another great DIY canvas. So far we've got them in black only, but they're a great apron retail or bulk. Ideal for the kitchen, bar, restaurant or BBQ. Aprons can be easy to screen print, paint or stencil. Sew-on badges make them another great corporate premium or staff uniform idea. Aprons are here. Tuesday 17 April 2007 Ok, we've had some requests for blank plain unprinted eco-friendly bags. These are easy to decorate and make great gifts. The best idea we came across was to DIY print shopping bags for use instead of gift bags - they save paper, are very much appreciated as part of the gift, and have a long and useful life after the moment of giving. We've put together a range of bags made from natural cotton and poly, individual or bulk discount, suitable for the beach, uni, or the street - shoulder bags, drawstrings, shoppers and totes. Clever designers, applique enthusiasts and fabric artists will customise them for sale in stalls or boutiques. Our new range of bags is here.
