{Everyday Inspiration} more Marimekko…

Posted by kristinloffertheiss on February 03, 2011 in fabric, klt:fabric stash, klt:plush, marimekko, slug plush | No Comments

January was good to my ever growing stack of Marimekko fabric. I actually might call January 2011, the textile month because I went a little bonkers with finding gorgeous fabrics internationally. Not to mention I brushed up on my textile/design history and learned about a lot of amazing textile designers. Most of my fabric purchases came from Finland or the UK with a combination of cool vintage & new finds that I’m really excited about. So what am I going to do with all of this fabric you ask? Oh, oodles & oodles… but lets’ start with some new slug plushies, a kitty, … and ol’ Phil the Groundhogs cousin- Mr. Squirrel.

I find making plush out of Marimekko fabric so inspiring- my hands can’t keep up with my ideas. The painter in me loves to play with different color combinations in search of making the colors sing. While I realize this isn’t Friday – and this could be classified as a Fabric Friday post, I felt it belonged in my Everyday Inspiration category as well. Besides, who couldn’t use a jolt of gorgeous color on a Wednesday? What would you do if this was your stack of fabric?

Did you know that slugs love this time of year? They get really excited at the idea of crawling into someone’s stocking. While owls, birds, & snails seem to feel more at home under a tree.

When I think about some of my favorite childhood gifts, they seem to fall into the plush friends category. So to help make the holiday season a little bit more cozy, use the code {KLTPLUSH25} for 25% off of all klt:plush here. Like the tees under the tree sale, offer is good until December 23rd 11:30pm PST. I love thinking about what kind of exciting new adventures all these little plushies are going to have.

{Fabric Friday} Vintage Marimekko…

Posted by kristinloffertheiss on November 26, 2010 in Fabric Friday, klt:fabric stash, klt:plush, marimekko, Uncategorized, vintage fabric | No Comments

It’s no secret that I have a major fondness for Marimekko textiles. I’ve written about it many times. Well, about a week ago I bought a bunch of vintage Marimekko fabric via this Etsy Shop that made me giddy with excitement. I carried this stack around with me for days, sort of fearful to cut into it. After all, I bought it to use. But then had second thoughts when I saw how beautiful it was. My husband reminded me that fabric is fabric & it’s meant to be used and transformed. If you are a KLT FB “liker” you have already seen this top stack of Marimekko goodness. Actually- the piece of fabric in the middle isn’t Marimekko- it’s a gorgeous Finnish, vintage textile that I liked too. But the rest of these pictures will be new for you.

So I did it – I cut into the fabric this week! My slugs just called out to these fabrics (or vice versa) – it was what I originally had in my mind to make when I saw first saw the vibrant textiles. I love playing with the bold shapes, patterns, & colors for the slug bellies. There will never be 2 exactly that same- which I really enjoy. These little guys are truly special & the colors are so darn happy!

These vintage Marimekko slugs will be slowly inching their way into the KLT Etsy Shop throughout the next few days. Don’t worry you die hard fabric collectors, I won’t use all of the fabric, I have saved a bit for safe keeping. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what I will make from this gorgeous stack. Oh, and don’t forget that klt:friends get a nice discount code to use for weekend. Happy Fabric Friday!
