VELOUR LOVELINESS at Crafty Mamas

At Crafty Mamas, we ADORE Velour. It's comfy, easy to sew, snuggly and keeps you and the kiddos warm and toasty. The colours available in Australia tend to be quite muted...not anywhere near as bright as we like at CM. So I have had to take matters into my own hands...that would be my very colourful stained hands...and start producing some colours we ADORE!

This week, TURQUOISE and CHERRY. 



Crafty Mama's own tub dyed velour knits! A whopping 176cm wide, and super snuggly and soft.
Velour is 80% cotton/20% nylon. weight = 255gsm. Tub dyed using fibre reactive procion dyes- colour stays beautiful and strong after repeated washings. 

With an extra bonus ingredient: LOVE.

Doing some little sewing this week...Farbenmix Zvergenverpackung





If you have fallen in love with Farbenmix's style of Euro hooded sweaters and groovy pants and jackets..I dare you to NOT want to sew them in baby size! So cute! ( I think Mr Crafty is a little worried with all these baby clothes happening!)
