Introducing Sprouts




Have you ever been so excited about something you could just burst?

Well that is how I am about bringing you these beautiful patterns "Sprouts" from Two Peas in a Pod homegrown designs.







I contacted Trish about her beautiful patterns after seeing an article about Two Peas in a Pod in "Sew Hip" I was a little bit blown away to find out that there was no Australian Stockist of her beautiful patterns. So I knew OZ "the store" had to have them.

A little bit about Trish, like many of us she juggles the Mum gig, the WAHM gig and works part-time. Trish and her husband have Identical Twins daughters (two peas) and a third daughter (sprout). To find out more about Trish pop over and have a read of her blog.

Here is one of the patterns that I have in stock.

**Please note that the "Sprouts" patterns are only for personal use**

So what's new at OZ you ask. First you will notice a new banner and logoI hope you like it. I spent hours on it and I mean hours. I love it! Because it is simple and not only represents Handmade but also OZ I am proud to be an Aussie and think everyone that sells their amazing products on Oz should also be proud to be an Aussie as well. There is so many new things planned for OZ and they will start to roll out over the next little while. Things take time and I was hoping to have everything ready for you all tonight but alas sometimes things take a little longer than others. But as they say good things come to those who wait.




One thing that I am so very proud to share with you all is that OZ will now stock supplies. Under the Oz Handmade store you will be able to purchase, patterns, magazines, trims, sewing/craft supplies and other little things from
time to time. I have recently had a buying trip but they will take a little while to filter in. Only the Oz Handmade store is able to stock supplies the stores will still only offer their awesome Handmade products for purchase. We have new stores opening weekly and are currently updating the website. You will notice changes as they happen, if the links are not working for you then please try deleting your cookies within your browser before contacting me and finding out what the problem is.

Everyone loves a great pattern don't they.
Well I am very proud to let you all in on a very big secret!
A few months ago I was reading an amazing story in the UK's sew hip magazine about a lovely lady by the name of Trish Preston an
d I was so inspired I had to contact her. One thing lead to another and we swapped a few emails and then before you know it I have asked if I could be a stockist of her patterns.
Now not o
nly am I stocking her beautiful patterns in the Oz Store BUT I am Australia's First Stockist of her patterns until now you have had to purchase these from overseas.
So I am very proud to bring
to you Trish Preston's Sprouts patterns. They are currently on shipment to Australia so as soon as they arrived I will let you know.



As things start to arrive I will start to add them to the OZ store, where it is possible I will include postage, so you know exactly what the cost will be.
