Last Friday we had the pleasure of popping in to
Skinny laMinx on Bree Street, for the fun and festivities that were to announce the launch of their new #DiggiDot range of fabrics.
#DiggiDot is gorgeous, complementing the existing fabrics with some simpler and some more complex new designs so that a lovely array of pattern textures and rhythms are created. Should you choose some of the new designs as additions to an already-loved collection of Skinny laMinx cushions or other plush fabric-covered items, the newcomers will play with the originals and effortlessly enliven your collection.
What better for an overcast afternoon than to nibble delicious mini cupcakes while watching Heather Moore's deft hands demonstrate block printing in the cosy upstairs studio.
One of our highlights, and a wonderful way for everyone to interact with the colours and patterns of the new range, was a choose-your-own bunting section. Samples of the new fabrics were neatly laid out and we could all pick, choose, combine and contrast the lovely swatches while Skinny laMinx's seamstresses patiently sewed them together on cotton twill tape right and there so that our bunting could come home with us.
It's always a treat to visit Skinny laMinx, but wow! What a beautifully crafted, interactive and playful introduction to the new fabrics - thank you for a fun start to the weekend ladies :)
