Purple & orange is not an obvious colour combo but the mix of the deep purple and warm orange makes for a beautiful colour contrast. Purple promotes peace of mind, harmony of emotions and contributes to stability while orange radiates warmth and happiness.
You can find the colours purple and orange in our Tribal Sunset fabric. If want you fabric colours to be perfect, no problems. We offer colour matching services. We can either colour match to provided Pantone colour or physical swatch.

Katy Dee from Letter 11 recently printed custom fleece fabric with us to make comfy baby blanket for her little nephew and shared her creative process with us. Get creative, make your own fleece blanket, its super easy!
You will need:
Custom printed fleece fabric, the beauty of this fabric is that you can make a blanket without using filling or backing fabric. One layer of fabric is enough to get comfy and snuggly. You can order your custom fabric here!
A sewing machine.
Bias Binding, you will need enough to go around the entire blanket. For this a 1.5m x 1m fleece blanket used just over 5m.
Dressmaking pins and scissors.
Cut your custom fleece fabric to the size and shape you want, in tutorial the blanket is 1.5m by 1m which is big and snuggly! A square would also be cute.
Find a spot around half way down the longest length of blanket to start pinning the bias. To pin you fold it naturally in half with the flaps on the inside and wrap it around the blanket pinning all 3 layers together like a sandwich. Carry on pinning the binding all the way to the corner.
Now it’s time to begin sewing…. Using running stitch and the colour thread of your choice, pop the blanket in under the machine foot and do a few back stitches first to secure the bias. Then continue sewing on the inside edge of the binding and down towards the corner following and removing the pins as you sew….
To wrap the bias binding around that corner nice and neatly, fold the corners down to create a diagonal fold and pin this into place. At this point, also pin the binding along the length towards the next corner. Sew slightly into the diagonal fold, stop to rotate the blanket so you can sew another side of the blanket bias and continue to sew all around the fleece blanket.
When you are nearly at the point where you began sewing, do a few backstitches and remove the blanket. Cut the binding neatly so there is just a 4-5 cm length left. Fold this in on itself and pin down into place creating a neat hidden pocket. Now you can pop the blanket back in and sew that last little bit up! Don’t forget to finish with a few backstitches for safety!
And there you go, a super cute baby fleece blanket!

If you’re looking to give a bright make over to your home, this DIY project is for you! Curtains are a great way to add color and pattern to your home and they are so easy to make.
Elba from Live Colorful shows us how, with her easy DIY curtains tutorial, which she made using the Lemonade fabric she created with Digital Fabrics!
A couple months ago she moved into her new home, but if you’ve ever been through it you know how hectic a move can be. She had her eye on the ugly gray-green curtains that she wanted to change and now, thanks to the Lemonade fabric she created with Digital Fabrics, she had the perfect DIY opportunity to give this space a bright and personal touch.
Elba hasn’t been able to find prints that she loves, so inspired by that, she created the LIVE COLORFUL collection which features bright and happy prints that are perfect for many DIY home decor projects.
