Say hello to my newest fabric collection: Outside Oslo

Big news! I'm thrilled to announce my latest fabric collection—please meet Outside Oslo, a line of home décor fabrics in two colorways. This batch is brought to you by The Needle Shop, Chicago's delicious little fabric store and sewing school.

Look for Outside Oslo in stores in May. If you're a shop or manufacturer interested in wholesale purchasing, head over to The Needle Shop's page for information on ordering. While you're there, you can grab a PDF that shows all the prints, along with lots of ideas for fun things to make.

Now, allow me introduce the cast of characters. I'm sure it's no surprise there are some orangey guys in here.

Stay tuned for an update when the collection is available to purchase retail. Hope you like it! And now I'm signing off for the week; I'm traveling and will meet you back here on Monday.

Update: The collection is now available online here.

  5. Love, love, LOVE!! (But you already knew that, since I was privileged to get a sneak peek. It's great being your mom, y'know. ;) ) Can't wait to be able to sew something from them!

    Have a great weekend, and say hi to A&D for me! (And see if A's iPhone will send a pic of that baby.)

    Love you,
    Mum

  12. Congratulations! What creativity, and what an achievement. I absolutely love Skiff and Frond in the Dawn colorway... I need them! I'm designing my soon-to-be-here baby boy's nursery in aqua and (you guessed it) orange, so those colors are spot-on for my project. I see book slings and chair cushions in these fabrics in my future!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Based on the name, I assume this is outdoor-safe fabric? These would make some gorgeous patio chair cushions.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh, Jess--this is gorgeous! I'm looking forward to ordering some.

    ReplyDelete
  15. LOVE!

    Yes, please do let us know when they'll be available for retail purchase. I have a similar chair to what is shown in the first pic, and I would LOVE to slipcover it in one of those fabrics!

    Also, must mention that it just warms my heart that your mum leaves such wonderful comments here for you. It's clearly a very special bond that you share and it's a privilege to bear witness to it. I have a 4yo daughter and aspire to sonething equally special as she grows.

  54. Are you serious? My great-grandfather came straight off the boat from Norway. This fabric line is so me. This is why I love you.

    ReplyDelete
  55. This is a simply gorgeous line - I love all the colourways ... I'd already bookmarked it on another blog before I realised it was YOU!!!

    Wonderful ... can't wait to buy some :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. I very rarely post about other people's projects/products, mostly because I fear I won't do them justice, but I just had to give a shoutout about your new line! To die for... considering any fat quarter giveaways in May??? Absolutely inspiring :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. ack! these are gorgeous! and I am sure they will end up a Target chair one day!

    ReplyDelete
  58. So beautiful! I'm in love and can't wait until they're available to purchase.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Love both colorways!
    I have actually been looking for modern awesome prints in the Dusk colorway, too bad it is coming out about 2 weeks too late for my use.

    ReplyDelete
  60. They're beautiful! Both colorways look great, can't decide which one I like best!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Everyone, thanks for your super compliments! It's always a little scary showing new stuff. I had imagined a scene where my mom left the only comment, and she said, "Well, I don't care for it much, but I love you anyway." You guys are making my day!

    I'll share more about the names and stuff in a future post. Have a good weekend!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  76. Luv! Congrats... job well done!!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I certainly understand that the Dawn color palate is very Outside Oslo. However, I think the Dusk array is more Inside Oslo, muted colors and rather concrete junglish. I'm just sayin'.
    If you need a test driver in Norway I'm your girl!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Outside Oslo is positively gorgeous. I want to make something out of it right now! I can't wait to get my hands on some.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I LOVE them!!!! I want a chair with the Frond from the Dawn collection in my living room... but really, I love them all!
