Big Announcment.

Domestic Kat Designs is having a huge sale!

To celebrate my 25th birthday this past Saturday, I am offering a massive 25% off EVERYTHING in the Domestic Kat Designs Folksy shop.

This offer will run for one week only beginning now and ending at 11.59 on Thursday the 10th of September. If there is something you have been ogling for a while now but have put it off now is the time to get it at a bargainous price.

All items in the Folksy shop are set at the regular price. Once you have paid, I will refund 25% of the price to you. There is also a notice in the shop to state this to protect your rights to this offer.

Go look now!

Once again I have to apologise to you my lovely blog readers. I have not updated in over 10 days. Shocking behaviour I know.

It has been a hectic time in the life of Kat at the moment. You will probably be bored by the details but Ill tell you anyway. My American Football team got into the BAFL division 2 playoffs and our first match was on Sunday the 30th August. Not only was I preparing everything I needed for this match as it included as trip to Stoke but it was also my birthday on the night before. On the day of my birthday I also had a fair to prepare for so needless to say I was bit up to high-do.

My team won their game in Stoke so this now means we have a trip to Leicester looming this coming Sunday. Hopefully we can get past them too.

At the moment I am working on something very special which will be announced to you either later tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Some clues:

1) its HUGE
2) it is connected to my birthday.

Happy guessing folks.

Alternative ABC 's with Unicorns!

I have just finished the second of my Alternative ABC quilts. This time instead of the white Chenille backing I used a really gorgeous soft but heavy and hardwearing green fabric. This is the same fabric that I got from Standfast and Barracks, the factory fabric shop at my sisters.





Ill be honest this is the reason I bought the fabric. Since when does a unicorn appear as as standard option in an animal ABC. Other notable alternative animals were the Narwhal and the Yak. Love it!

Handbag

I had some of this fabric leftover from the clutch bags I posted about a few days ago. I really didnt want this fabric to go to waste nor did I want it to sit in my stash for ages without having a purpose.

I decided to make it into this style of swish, everyday handbag as I had made two of these before in another fabric and were an absolute hit.



The handles are one continuous peice of fabric fed through two channels at either side of the bag.

Alternative ABC

For my Christmas I got £50 worth of HobbyCraft vouchers. I spent some a while back and was left with £12 worth. I was determined that I was going to use these on a rotary cutter as I really need one. However, when we got to HobbyCraft their cutters were like £20! I was horrified as the one I wanted from Dunelm Mill was £13. So instead I thought, for once Ill treat myself to some nice fabric. So I had a little look and almost straight away came across this lovely ABC panel fabric.

Again, straight away my little brain automatically thought that it would make a nice blanket, especially since that day at a fair someone had remarked that I didn't have any unisex blankets for people to buy someone who doesnt yet know the sex of their baby. I matched it with an oxford pillowcase that I had picked up for 50p and some orange gingham fabric I had. I then backed it with a lush white chenille like fabric.
