New Fabric Experiments

 
 In between making customers lovely orders we have been very busy with some new fabric development. We are especially grateful to a lovely lady called Emily Falconer who has been super mind of knowledge on her product & hugely helpful. (a big shout out to helpful people!!!! x)We are using her companies cottons for our new purses & personalised cotton cushions, phasing out the larger more rustic calico style we have been doing for a much better quality fabric which is being made especially for us. Emily also sent us the most gorgeous shimmer velvet which we can print here at HQ. Proving a tough one to find the right shape & construction for the factory to handle. Sadly the pom pom trim has had to go (but not before we tried it out on 8 velvet 1 off samples) So the Whippet has been made as a thank you to Emily but we are going to have a new tab very soon on the web site for 1 off samples, development product & slight seconds. (& 100 meters of pom pom trim anyone!!!)
 





Why the Whippet?

Monday motivation & breed of the week, the lovely Whippet. We will aspire to have these qualities this week! Whippets are quiet, intelligent, and not prone to barking. They are generally gentle dogs and may be content to spend much of the day resting.The AKC describes them as "quiet and dignified in their owner's living room"and says they make "excellent house dogs." Their quiet and somewhat sensitive nature means that is particularly important to train them using only positive reinforcement. They will not respond well to harsh reprimands or commands.
Whippets are touch sensitive, meaning that they tend to jump or overreact when touched unexpectedly. That is definitely ME!!! I hit the roof when someone even speaks to me unexpectedly!
