Imaginary Flowers are coming, soon

Saffron Craig - Saturday, May 07, 2011
Just a quick update, my Imaginary Flowers will be here in June.

Saffron Craig - Imaginary Flowers fabric range

Thing is, they should have been here now but we've had to reprint the bulk.

Fabric printing is such a tricky business. When the dye is applied to the fabric through the screen barrels, all it can take to create faults is for a tiny thread to adhere to the outside of the screen, and this imperfection, or thread print, will appear at regular intervals on all fabric as it is printed. This can only be seen once the fabric has been printed. And so it happened with my Imaginary Flowers.

So, now we have to reprint ALL my Imaginary Flowers fabrics so that no imperfections appear on our beautiful designs. Time consuming and totally annoying, but necessary to get the perfect finish.

This is the first time this has happened and hopefully, this is the last time. Thank goodness our quality control is so good and picked it up.

So now the Imaginary Flowers are being reprinted and we'll see them mid June. Can't wait as I've already used up my few meters of preview fabrics.
