Honey Teddy’s Fabulous Fabric Tour

Jun 30, 2011 | A day in my life, Blog, Competitions & Giveaways

Honey Teddy Bear wanted a change from being made out of plain Honey Fleece and decided that we should go FABRIC SHOPPING

Yippee! I can’t resist a fabric shopping spree!

And what better place to start than …

Tonia and Dennis are the creative duo behind Fashionable Fabrics. They started their shop in 2004 aiming to provide fashion and novelty fabric for crafters as they, themselves were often frustrated that they can’t find the fabrics they wanted, in one place. Their goal has been to source the latest in fashion fabric and keep stock that is often NOT available in traditional outlets.

They stock the latest top fabric designers such as:

Alexander Henry, Amy Butler, Anna Griffin, Anna Maria Horner, Art Gallery, David Textiles, Free Spirit, Heather Bailey, Jennifer Paganelli, Kokka, Michael Miller, Moda, Monaluna, Patricia Bravo, Patty Young, Robert Kaufman, Sandi Henderson, Studio e, Valori Wells, and Windham…. and MORE!

It looks like Honey Teddy has found her new favorite fabric! Here she is made in Michael Miller Carnival Bloom fabric.

Honey and I got so excited with her bright new look we even made her a fabulous, flowery, felt head piece!

I think we may have gone a bit O.T.T (over the top)?

Please don’t tell Honey I said that!

BUT what fun!
