We can offer a complete service where we get your order and give you back the finished garment. We also offer a service where we can cut out your design and you can affix the design using a household iron. This works out cheaper and also means you can attach the design to what you want, when you want. Great for businesses that need to buy in bulk and use when necessary. We give good discounts for larger orders. Turnaround is usually a few days although we aim to do most orders for the next day. ———————————————————————— Prices Please note all prices are approximate and depend on complexity of design.

This time of year we get a few boat owner in trying to update their boats. Boats are the most complicated to do a good template as the foam is often curved and they have an angle where they meet the hull. Her is the procedure for making a template. 1. using newspaper or wall paper make the template of the cushionso it fits nicely on the bed/seat. 2. Decide on the size of foam required. Once you know this get books and layer them so the come to the same height as the foam. 3. Put these books at one end of the paper and put against the hull. 4. Measure between the edge of the books and the hull using a rule placed on top of the books. 5. Mark this length on the template. 6. Repeat down the template every 12″. 7. We now have a template for us to follow. Ok sorry for the long delay since the last post but thats because a lot has gone on. Highlights for last week were doing 180 T-shirts for my daughters school for their “Save the rain forest” awareness week. They wanted 8 different rain forest animals attached to t shirts they had bought. This they wanted ASAP so the design of each animal was kept as basic as possible. Manage to cut and attach the vinyl to the shirts within a day.
There will be an increase in country flags. We will have some celebration ones like “baby boy”, happy birthday. A range of pirate flags (which are always popular). Historical like Richard the lion heart. Patriotic and political like ensigns, Europe, NATO.
It contains The complete range of DMC Mouline Stranded Thread 36 shades of Variations 36 shades of Light Effects 36 shades of Satin threads. We will have them on-line asap and there will be a discount if you buy more than one item per colour. This should make us one of the cheapest on the Internet.
So here’s my top 10 reason to shop at us (or maybe a smaller craft shop near you) rather than Hobbycraft.
We have lots of satisfied customers and are always looking for ways for us to grow. You can help us by….
If you are trying to identify a Gutermann thread here are the ways to figure it out. If you are looking at the thread full on it will say Gutermann. Further along on yhe other side it will have the number CA 02776…….This means nothing. You can tell the type of thread by looking at the colour of the bobbin and checking it with the above pictures. It is also found on the lower ring. On the bottom ring it will say what the thread is made of and length in meters and yards. Ie 100% polyester , 100m 110 yds. On some older threads the colour will be stated there. I.e Col 919 The colour can be found on the top. It will be on a adhesive sticker usually just above a bar-code. Ie Col 800. On some older ones the colour will be stated there. I.e Col 919
This can be found here http://ukbeading.co.uk/pendants-and-charms/large-glass-pendants-1/ These are glass and most measure either 40mm square or 60mm by 35mm. These can easily be made into great looking necklaces with just a simple cord. My favorite is using multiple colours of cord that tie in to the colours present in the pendant. This keeps the cord in balance with the large pendant.
These are made from polyester and have been screen printed and are meant for indoor use although a few day out would not do them harm if the weather is right. We have approximately 60 various designs and will be getting more in soon. There might be a possibility of personalizing them using our vinyl stickers but I will have to look at that at a future date. I have just added easy hot fix application paper to the website. If you use hot fix gems and studs you will love this easy to use application paper. Here’s a demo of how it works.
This will allow us to have more items available to you and increase stock levels so order are more likly to be in stock as we will have a backup supply if one shop is out. We are actively looking and hope to have a new shop up and running within the next couple months. Location Of Shop We are located on a main road with parking nearby, either on the main road itself or in the Caterham Morrison’s or Waitrose car park. Traveling times by car are approximately 20 minutes from Sutton, Wallington and Croydon. 10 minutes from Coulsdon and Oxted. Local Bus Routes
I’ve looked around and from what I’ve seen we’re one of the cheapest. These can be affixed using a special tool or a domestic electric iron. We will soon have hot fix Mylar adhesive film available for £1.50 per meter. This is a clear plastic sheet which is adhesive on one side. Gems can be placed face down on it into a design (heart for example). this can then be placed on the garment and a iron is applied for 20 seconds on medium heat. Video of hot fix using mylar/application sheet
Price is £2 per block. We also have a couple of kits and hope to increase the range soon. I’ll try and get them on-line today or soon. Effects obviously have special properties like glow in the dark, translucent, glitter Etc. The reason we went for Soft Fimo rather than Classic Fimo is on recommendation from the rep. Most average users prefer Soft. Classic he said tends to be use by a crafter who need to use it for finer items like petals on a rose, since it is firmer it’s more likely to hold its shape where the Soft might wilt a bit.
They are pads that can be placed on items close to each other to produce a mosaic effect. They can be used to revamp old items or decorate simple items and given as lovely presents. They come in four different colours and five designs per colour. Blurb from the back of packaging “Acid Free No special equipment is needed , create your own mosaic art picture. Create your own mosaic art. Simply place the plastic coloured mosaic pieces on jewelery boxes, lamp, photo frames, cups, glasses, and more. Bring an artistic touch to your home. Clean intended surface before decorating. Do not wash in dishwasher. Not to be used in contact with food or drink.
First off is their Nursery Time range of topper. These are all in limited quantities so grab them while you can. These are quite different from the normal paper topper in that they are made from thin MDF and would be suitable for not only cards but items that need a more resistant object placed on top like a memory box, room entry sign, name plaque, cupboards Etc. They come in baby boy and girl designs. Size of package is approximately 5″*4″ From the back of the item it reads “Decorative elements are great for Place cards Greeting cards Collage art Memory boxes Gift cards Scrap booking Invitations Gift bags and Home decor”
So here are a few quick posts coming up….. |

Over the next couple of weeks we will be increasing our range of flags.
We just taken delivery of our new DMC stand.
Since we are thinking about getting a new shop, and we found out that Hobbycraft was going to have a large retail outlet within a couple miles, I thought we would goto our nearest Hobbycraft and have a look at the competition. I went in with apprehension thinking about how the big boys would be cheaper and better but whilst in there found that they mostly were not.
I have today updated the large pendant category.
I’ve just started adding our range of 5 foot by 3 Foot flags.
We are currently looking for another shop around Wallington and close surrounding areas.
We now have hot fix gems and believe we’re excellent on price.
We now have Fimo in stock in both Soft and Effects range.
Impex has a product which it calls Mosaic stickers.
We have some nice items from Impex who are one of the biggest suppliers in the craft market.
Well after the trip to Birmingham we’ve been busy getting things ready for the new craft items, and they have finally started to come in. I have started to put them on the website and hope to give a bit more background information on the items introduced.
