Studio Update: Babies and Fabric kits

This is Sam!

His mom was kind enough to let me take a picture of him when they came by the store the other day. Isn't he SO cute??

Sam's mom is obviously very talented and creative. She made Sam's top even cuter with the addition of a few of our silkscreened bees she cut out of some fabric she found in one of our fabric kits. She says she also has a piece of the turquoise Oscillator dress fabric printed with rice and is in the process of making Sam a new pair of sweatpants! Fantastic and amazingly adorable!

Our Fabric kits are made using the extra bits we have leftover after we cut out our clothing... we pack up all the bit bits along with patches, zippers and ribbon ready for you to get creative! With lots of different kinds of good quality material there is a plethora of wonderful items awaiting your creation!
Yayy for using your hands and materials that would otherwise be cast aside!

Fabric Kit Love

I am constantly surprised by the creative women who stop by our little Lily shop here in Victoria. Always chatting about sewing, knitting, weaving, screening, just crafting in general, it seems like most Lily followers are busy themselves making beautiful things. So, of course we're always happy to supply these projects with Lily material! Starting first with out fabric kits. Anyone who has been into the shop knows about these wonderful bundles (usually put together by Miss Devon). Five dollars will get you a goody bag of printed fabric, leather...randomness. How wonderful! And now, as you can check out online we've begun making fabric buttons. A few weeks ago, pre-garage sale madness, an amazing women, Robyn, came in for more fabric kits and told me all about her "Smoking Lily Baby Blanket" she was creating. I was intrigued and asked her to email me a picture... so, here's Robyn's blanket in progress... if you have a wicked fabric kit project of your own, email it to us at smokinglilyblog@gmail.com
