24.01.2022 I think I'm going to have to start calling these "sandwich packs", putting together ribbing sandwiches is so much fun! #mysterypack
24.01.2022 While one side of the world is warming up (bring it on!) another side of the world is cooling down...how amazing is mother nature and this Wakefield Raglan Dress? Good thing about this pattern is that you can sew it all year round, choose your combo and off you go. Sewist: @tip_the_sew_modest_doll... #wakefieldraglandress #wickedpatterns
24.01.2022 It's confirmed I broke zipPay but I've managed to un-break it and it's working again The new set up means you can complete your zip payment in one go (without me having to send a manual invoice) so happy days for both of us! Zippity zip zip!
23.01.2022 If you're after bamboo or starting to think about sewing for warmer weather it's time to stock up as most of these colours will not be re-stocked once it sells out (discontinued by supplier): Cherry Pink Bamboo Jersey Petrol Bamboo Jersey Powder Aubergine Bamboo Jersey... Aegean Green Bamboo Jersey Maroon Deep Red Bamboo Jersey Black and Navy will be available at the end of the month, I will let you know when it's been restocked. Other fabrics that's back in stock: Black Heavyweight Supplex White Cotton Jersey Melange is running low (available colours is in single digits) so if you have some in your cart I highly recommend checking out as the next shipment isn't due to arrive for another couple of weeks. Until next time, keep sewing and keep creating!
22.01.2022 Sitting with my coffee scrolling IG...then figured I better get off my butt and cut an order. TADA! Maybe you feel the need for a mystery pack to live at yours too? #mysterygrabbag #ribbing
22.01.2022 #stockupdate #newstock =Threads= Hello Tuesday, rise and shine peeps!... I've got quite a bit to get through so lets start with seraflock threads. The following colours has been restocked/added to the website: Hunter Orange 1000M Light Kelly 1000M Brilliant Blue 1000M Deep Purple 1000M Cachet Pink 1000M Eggshell 1000M Aqua 1000M Deep Aqua 1000M Bright Green 1000M Pine Nut 1000M White 1000M Black1000M Just in case you're not familiar with Mettler Seraflock, it is a voluminous polyester overlocker thread (like woolly nylon) that gives great results on any fabric. Manufactured specifically for use with stretch fabrics it is ideal for finishing seams in knitted fabrics such as underwear, swimwear and sports wear. It is a convenient size allowing you to collect #allthecolours! =New: Denim Woven...= You're shocked right? This year I said I'm going to open my heart (and my shelves) to certain woven bases and if it proves to be popular, I can explore adding to the range. Let me introduce..... Denim in Washed Denim Jeans Fabric Denim in White Jeans Fabric Denim in Black Jeans Fabric Denim in Light Blue Jeans Fabrics Medium weight denim with a small amount of stretch perfect for your next pants, skirt or dress project! Denim isn't just for clothing, I'll love to see my fellow bags sewist whip up something to impress me (that's if you're up for the challenge..). =Matilda's Mask Filters= Using the knowledge gained by making mask filters for the CSIRO in recent trials, Matilda's Own have created this highly efficient face mask filter. 100% Made in Australia from Hollow Conjugated Polyester for moisture absorption and extremely effective particle filtration. Each pack contains 4 x A4 sheets, measuring 210mm x 297mm for use with your own cotton outer. Makes up to 24 refills (pending mask pattern). Refills are washable but it is recommended to be replaced after each use. =New Website Function: Re-Stock Notifier= Life's busy, I get it. Sometimes we don't have time for Facebook or Newsletters so I've been working behind the scenes to get this function added to the website. Thanks to a group of ladies who volunteered to test yesterday I've managed to tick this off my To Do! If an item is out of stock, you can "subscribe" via the website to be notified by email when it comes back in stock. Easy peasey. I'm always looking for ways to make your shopping journey easier, I hope this is a function adds value and you find it useful. Until my next enabling session xx
21.01.2022 I know we talk about seasonal palette but some colours (most) to me are all rounders. What colours do you gravitate to? Darker, lighter, warmer, brights, neons etc?
20.01.2022 Simple bundles like this brings a smile to my face but unfortunately I have no IRL friends (referring to my lifelong circle of friends) to share fabrics with because they have 0 interest in fabrics and sewing. Secretly I think they're missing out on a really cool hobby (on all levels) and perks
20.01.2022 White stretch fusible interlining that's soft and drapey. I have no projects planned but my supplier recommended this product because it compliments stretch fabrics so now it's in my studio...so easily enabled Do you use this?
19.01.2022 ***New: Ribbing Packs*** Did you have a fabulous weekend? I spent the weekend celebrating my littlest birthday, I can't believe he's 5! It's slowing sinking in that my little boy Blake isn't so little anymore because he starts "big school" next year To keep my mind busy (yes, still in denial) I decided to work on putting together the start of these ribbing packs that's been on my To Do for a while. If you have been following me through my "wicked" journey the last few years... you'll know how much I love ribbing. I decided to run a report last week and was shocked to find I have over 100 ribbing variations in stock...I'm really not sure how that happened but oh well, it is what it is lol. If you suffer paralysis by analysis like me then I'm hoping you'll find these packs useful and if you are new to ribbing then these are the perfect starter packs to get you going. Rainbow Ribbing Pack - Classic Rainbow Ribbing Pack - Pop While you're carting supplies don't forget to add some threads, sewing supplies and interfacing to your order (this is a generic reminder for those that keep forgetting random items and have told me to add it into the newsletter as a prompt) ***Stock Update*** Ughhh snail mail. I'm not a fan but it seems I need to exercise patience as transit times has gotten longer and longer. Unfortunately, port congestion and strikes is the root of the problem so until they figure it out it I might have less to offer each week. I did however, receive a shipment yesterday so this will have to do us until the next one.... Denim Look in Black Jersey Hot Pink Melange Jersey Lilac Melange Jersey Light Grey Melange Jersey (Aus) Light Turquoise Melange Jersey Purple Melange Jersey Teal Melange Jersey Hot Pink Jersey Fuchsia Jersey I'm trying my best to get some photos of the new chunky ribbing colours, aiming to get it up via the website by Thursday xx You can find items above here: https://www.wickedfabrics.com.au/new-arrival/)
18.01.2022 To all who put up with our need to create <3
18.01.2022 Never been done before, 30% OFF all patterns. Patterns on sale until midnight 30th November, no code needed as it'll automatically discount at checkout. How easy peasy is that?! Terms and Conditions: Sale is available via https://www.wickedfabrics.com.au/wicked-patterns/ only (not Etsy)... How about adding to that collection?
17.01.2022 MINI RIB JERSEY RELEASE! Possibly one of my favourite releases this year. If you have been part of the Wicked Community for a while you'll know besides being passionate about sustainable fabrics I'm also a big fan of textured knits.... When I laid eyes on this collection I knew we needed it in our lives. This style of textured knit is HUGE in the ready to wear scene and is so versatile! It's suitable for all ages and with the addition of elastane, fabric washes up nicely and has good return. I'm a visual person when it comes to sewing (I prefer video vs written instruction and sewn inspiration vs flat lay) so I want to give a big shout out to my showcase seamstresses for offering their services so you can see how lovely this collection is made up. Thank you Emily Tomlinson, Mia Batty, Sasha Ford, Renae Tector, Erin Rudrum and Joanne Moyle! The following colours is available for purchase: Mini Rib in Maroon Mini Rib in Rose Pink Mini Rib in Vintage Pink Mini Rib in Navy Mini Rib in Light Grey Melange Mini Rib in Latte Mini Rib in Lichen Green Early bird discount is active so get in quick before it sells out! You can also find the collection under New Arrival. HAPPY SHOPPING
17.01.2022 I've had the pleasure of meeting this sassy, super genuine and authentic soul in real life earlier this year (before the world went mad) and she never ceases to amaze me with her creativeness. I love this #kilatank from @allieolson.patterns made out of ribbing!! Yep, RIBBING.
16.01.2022 Sewing Supplies I've managed to top up some sewing supplies, you might have to be quick become some items are back to single figures: Bodkin Set... 3-1 Sewing Gauge Measuring Gauge Fabric Marker - Purple Onyx Eyelet Starter Kit Cotton Tape White Cotton Tape Black Schmetz Jeans Machine Needles Cord Hood in Black Cord Hood in Natural Cord Hood in Baby Blue Cord Hood in Pastel Pink Vilene Edge Tape Vilene ILC 151 Mask Interfacing While you're carting supplies don't forget to add some threads to your order (this is a generic reminder for those that keep forgetting either threads or random fabric lol) Important: Changing Newsletter Provider (Update) I mentioned via my last update that I'll be changing newsletter provider, this is still happening it's just taking a little longer because I've forgotten the zillion things that I need to set up beforehand. Getting there! Vivi
16.01.2022 There's something about a full stand. This was taken when I re-stocked a few weeks ago (found the pic in my photo reel) but it seems it's time to reorder because I'm down to a few of each label. Any particular ones you'll like me to restock?
15.01.2022 ***Chunky Ribbing: New Colours*** Good morning! Weather has been nice-ish so I managed to capture some happy snaps of the new chunky ribbing colours, this brings the total to 10 colours. The following has been added to the website:... Chunky Ribbing in Hot Pink Chunky Ribbing in White Chunky Ribbing in Cerulean If you're a fan of textural ribbing, this is a must have in your collection. Early bird discount has been applied (you what to do!) While you're carting supplies don't forget to add some threads, sewing supplies and interfacing to your order (this is a generic reminder for those that keep forgetting random items and have told me to add it into the newsletter as a prompt) New Arrival: https://www.wickedfabrics.com.au/new-arrival-1/
14.01.2022 #stockupdate **New Payment Method Added: Laybuy** Pretty exciting news for a Tuesday hey?... I've added a new payment method over the weekend called "Laybuy", which allows you to get it now and pay it in 6. Perfect for those who shop to a budget or want to spread out payments for bigger than normal purchases. I applied for an account last week (starting to think Christmas) and was surprise at how quick and seamless the process was. Account was approved in no time and allowed me to shop immediately. Got to love that! For more information please pop on over to their website, this will replace my personal layby offer. **Stock Update** I'm not sure if you saw my page post about a parcel that's gone MIA, unfortunately it's still missing. I've gotten in contact with FedEx and they're onto it but it's been a few days and since I haven't heard back I won't hold my breath. I'm still receiving fabric mail and trying my best to keep the shelves decent so I'm not too upset because it means I'm still able to enable In the interim you can stock up on..... Jersey Steel Grey Jersey Persian Blue Jersey Maroon Jersey Pink Musk Jersey Bottle Green Jersey Off White Cream Melange Jersey Blue Frog Melange Jersey Green Grey Melange Jersey White Viscose Jersey Black Viscose Jersey Denim Look in Light Blue Jersey Fleecy Black Fleecy Dark Navy Fleecy Bottle Green Fleecy Maroon Fleecy Ribbing Red Ribbing White Ribbing Black Heavyweight Ribbing Thank you to everyone that jumped online to purchase from the Denim Release last week, based on its debut and your response I've placed an order for more so if you're interested in nabbing some, don't forget to "register" via the Restock Notifier within the individual listings and you'll be notified the minute I update inventory. Awesome hey? **Important: Changing Newsletter Provider** Heads up! I will be changing the company I'm using as my newsletter provider in the near future, I'm hoping to switch across in time for the next one but I'll see how I go. As part of the switch I will be cleaning inactive subscribers, if you haven't opened or clicked on an email from me lately you will need to re-subscribe via my website or landing page to receive newsletters. I'm assuming if you haven't clicked on a newsletter you won't see this or miss it so no hard feelings, I still love you and you're welcome to re-subscribe at any time or check in via the page to see "what's new". ;) Vivi
14.01.2022 For the last 12 months I've been making a conscious effort to improve my sustainability footprint at Wicked Fabrics so you may've noticed when you receive a parcel from me, packaging varies. This is because I'm trying to use up bulk stock (there's no point tossing them out as this defeats my sustainability and recycling efforts) while introducing a long term sustainable option at the same time. It's a work in progress and constant learning curve to find which sizes by which b...rand works best but I'm hoping by year end I'll have my interior packaging switched over and at least half of my exterior packaging as well. I decided not to go down the route of custom packaging at the moment as there's enough packaging sitting in docks and warehouses as is, we have so many amazing australian and international home compostable brands to turn to for help in this area that I feel it's important I support them New tough bags has been added to the range on a trial basis, this is made out of kraft paper outer and Australian Made. If you receive fabric mail from me packed in a tough bag I'll love your feedback! Feel free to send me a message via the Page to let me know your thoughts xx
12.01.2022 THAT black pants. Its my least favourite but I hold onto it because it gives me an indication how big or little my lower half is at any given time, its my benchmark pair If you feel you need to add a pair, Black Supplex is back in stock lol.
12.01.2022 The thing about trend and colour palette is that it emerges early. It's because we are micro influenced daily and then all of a sudden we see the same few trendy shades, tone or style everywhere as "trend" grabs hold of society (at this stage a design or style is peaking or has peaked). Neutrals such as this trio is one of the more popular palette purchased from my shop, maybe classic colourways has their own trend cycle as well? Just realised there's a lot of blue and grey in my feed lately. Do you shop by trend or do you stick to a colour palette that you know works for you?
11.01.2022 Parcel the size of a desk has vanished and gone on a permanent holiday (restock fabrics), only you can relate to my pain Parcel the size of a desk has vanished and gone on a permanent holiday (restock fabrics), only you can relate to my pain
10.01.2022 Thinking I need to push the restart switch, always happens to me on a Tuesday I've gone in to double check inventory and fixed my oopsies, should be adequate stock available via the website for today's restock items (previous post). I forgot to include Vilene Mask Interfacing (https://www.wickedfabrics.com.au/vilene-white-ilc-151-sew-/) on the list, it is back in stock but once it sells out I won't be restocking unless there is an urgency for more).... Same goes for the mask elastics, I have discounted rolls further so I can move the boxes that's taking up floor space. Elastics can be used for other purposes than mask making and handy to have around.

09.01.2022 Love this colour blocking combo @dani_sewitall, perfect with the shorts! Featuring Wren Tank PDF Sewing Pattern by Wicked Patterns (you can purchase this pattern via my website!)
08.01.2022 I love textural knits, maybe its the aesthetics or the feeling of the rib...either way, it's my vibe and it looks like I have customers that are a fan too #texturedknit #ribbing
08.01.2022 I'll be updating Double Gauze back to regular retail price later in the evening, last change to nab last drop's colours at a reduced price ;)
08.01.2022 ==Chunky Ribbing== I hope you're a fan of chunky ribbing because I can't get enough of it, I've added 4 additional colours bringing it to a conservative total of 7: Chunky Ribbing in Red... Chunky Ribbing in Lead Grey Melange Chunky Ribbing in Navy Chunky Ribbing in Vintage Pink plus Chunky Ribbing in Mustard Chunky Ribbing in Light Grey Melange Chunky Ribbing in Black ==Australian Ribbing== I'm trialing some australian made ribbing in black, white and light grey melange. Its comparable to the texture and hand feel of the european smooth heavyweight but in a lighter GSM. If you decide to give it a go, I'll love your feedback! That's it for this week, hopefully I get fabric mail today or tomorrow
07.01.2022 The chunky ribbing is one of those purchases that I go heck yes every time an order comes through and it's on my chopping board. If you missed my post re: using it as a neckband you'll need to scroll back

02.01.2022 Textural black is really shitty to photograph when said "someone" isn't much of a photographer but even with my shitty photography skills, there's only 1 x 1.5m piece left. This tells me black sells itself Will it be yours?

01.01.2022 Every time I've gone looking for quilted jersey it's been double sided so I'm glad I stumbled across this single sided jersey (the textural quilted look is on the face side of the fabric) because it means the fabric is more versatile and can be used across different seasons. Gotta love that! This is the Light Petrol colourway, only a small amount left
