Raylee popped into @songlines_arts to find a bag to replace her beloved Nancy bag (on right). Our bags are beautifully made but natural fabrics don’t last forever. She chose this lovely @papulankutjaartists design by Angilyiya Mitchell that tells the Seven Sisters Story.
She took advantage of the current 20% OFF sale - see our online store (not Etsy shop) www.flyingfoxfabrics.com - lots of crossbody bags to choose from ☺️

Have always loved this particular fabric. A total delight to see how good it looks in the hands of a wonderful creative 🙌 - maybe a reprint @babbarradesigns ? 🙏

#Repost @sewnbyindri

This was most likely one of my overthought sewing project - 5yrs+
It was the first Aboriginal fabric I’d ever purchased. It was the one that sent me looking for Publisher Textiles - the factory was 10 minutes walk away!

The reasons it took so long:
1. It was expensive - for someone who was sewing for a hobby with no paid job.
2. I didn’t want to cut the artwork to small pieces.
3. I wanted to sew something that I could wear anytime, all the time. It should be Interesting enough for special occasions, yet still wearable to school pick up, groceries, etc. I definitely didn’t want this dress to hang in my wardrobe gathering dust. This is my sewing goal for all my outfit!
4. This turquoise base didn’t look too good near my face but I love the pink & gold flowers too much! So I needed to find a way around it.

Previously I was going to make it as Merchant & Mills’ Trapeze dress with The Assembly Line Box Pleat Dress’ sleeves. I even bought matching buttons.
After that I got distracted - for about 5 years. 🙈
When I saw the RWB event coming up, I knew I had to make something. I always make something new to go to Museum/Art Gallery anyway. It’s my thing!
I dug up this fabric, found a matching stripes.. et voilà!

Details:
Pattern: heavily modified Bloom dress by @makebytfs
* apart from the big sleeves, I also folded the hem forward to show the stripes, instead of the usual backward towards inside the dress.
* Added stripes inside the sleeve frills.

Fabrics:
* Manwak - Mumeka Blooms designed by Deborah Wurrkidj of @babbarradesigns printed locally in Leichhardt by @pubtextiles purchased @mca.store.australia
* Zip in Kiss Metallic by @iamrashidacolemanhale from @rubystarsociety

Buttons from @tessutifabrics

Also some more dreamy images from last night event! ...

Hoping Jodi doesn’t mind me sharing this! She sent a pic to show me what she’d done with a couple of pieces of Patricia McTaggart’s Billabong design from @merrepenartscentredalyriver - the black and white length came from @songlines_arts
It can be printed as a one or two screen/colour design. This looks amazing 😍

Oh, I’m being photographed? Hang on while I get my cool on.
Sorry dude, it’s a video.
Damien hit the print workshop again today (at 8am!!!) and brought along Raphael - grandson of two of Bula’Bula Arts founders. Here they are printing Raphael’s totem Ngambi (spearheads). It was a fun day of training and ink splatters and some gorgeous prints.

Got a bit carried away with filming Selina … wanted to capture the process but kinda forgot I needed to be on the other end of the squeegee.
This is Peter Gambung’s Lorrpu (Sulphur CrestedCockatoos) design on hot pink cotton stretch sateen. Selina is an artist but always happy to jump on the print table. She has a great eye for details and points out our/my mistakes.

Have been having so much fun training up new printers at @bulabulaarts this week. Damien did two lengths today - he picked the screen and colours for this Butterfly print. His family requested this photo - they came in to cheer him on.
Workshop supported by an @ankaaboriginalartists TADS grant.

You’re going to see a bit of @bulabulaarts spam here in the next few days 🤪 It’s so good to be back and printing with the crew - including some newbies. ☺️ Selina printed her own (new) Butterflies design, despite having a bung eye (she was keen). She was thrilled about the rainbow colours.
We’re mucking about with 4 lovely new screens 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣

Gwennie is one of our weavers and visits regularly with her son’s family. She spotted this Delia bag with Ngalmangiyi (long or snake neck turtle), a fabric design by Gabriella Maralngurra of Injalak Arts. It was love at first sight 😍🥰 …

Nikki remembers buying this fabric from me when she lived in Gunbalanya and I worked at Injalak Arts - around 7 years ago!
It’s the classic Marebu (Pandanus mats) print in a one-screen simple white on black linen. She used it on the side panels. Elegant and really striking. Kicking myself I didn’t take a video because it moved so well.

Check out Injalak’s Etsy store for fabric fresh off the print table. @injalakarts

These two lovely ladies browsing @flyingfoxfabrics stall did not know each other - but turned out they were both carrying Chris bags!!! Fabulous coincidence 🥰 The one on the left is Puli Puli design by Keturah Dixon of @ikuntjiartists and on the right is Selina Nadjowh’s Manme (bush foods) from @injalakarts
Both bags made by @kravanhouse
We met and caught up with so many good people over the weekend at the @tactilearts market.

Look who I bumped into at the Tactile Arts Christmas Makers Market!!! Sorry about the daggy audio - but wanted to keep it so you can hear Marcia. The designer of this print was Isaiah Nagurrgurrba from Injalak arts and its metallic gold ink on black linen - and was printed in the community workshop. As usual Marcia has worked magic with it. Contact her direct if you’re interested. (Forgot to ask about the pattern she used for this asymmetric beauty).
