A collection so close to our heart

Growing up I immersed myself into the journey May Gibbs took us in her stories and illustrations. Perhaps that is where our Fabric Pixie name came from?

A wonderland in our own backyard made so believable by May Gibbs and her iconic gum leaf where gumnut hatted babies peeking out from the leaves. Inspired by the Australian landscape, May's illustrations in the early days during World War One were sent to those serving our country in far off distant places to give them a little slice of home.

Later, May added stories to the illustrated Gumnut Babies to entertain the imagination of children. It is these adventures that we have such fond nostalgic memories of and what contributed to May Gibb's illustrations and stories becoming a classic in Australian Literature.

So you can imagine how thrilled I was to see May's artwork so beautifully represented on fabric! The whole May Gibbs fabric range is just divine! Featuring the most beautiful colours and prints that to suit any application from babies and children, right into adult clothing, this is a range that really does cross all all boundries.

We have received all prints within the range from from Gumnut Friends, Blossom Babies and Flannel Babies, Mays Garden and the popular Mays Tales.

Gumnut Friends

Gumnut Friends is a bright and colourful print featuring best of friends Snugglepot, Cuddlepie and Little Ragged Blossom on the stunning background colours of sage green, midnight blue, soft pastel pink and a rich rose.

We love how the sage green Gumnut Friends fabric has been made up into this lovely sundress by Alina of Sen by Alina. Just perfect to throw on and go about your busy life on a hot day. Make something similar with the Noosa Shift Dress by Sew to Grow Patterns.

Blossom Babies

Blossom Babies are the most delightful little darlings and literally covered in bright yellow blossoms. On a background of Lemon or Sky Blue, we're loving this print so much.

Photos are with my very own volumes of May Gibbs books that I have cherished for years!

Mays Garden

Our Australian flora is so spectacular and it has been celebrated beautifully in the 'Mays Garden' co-ordinating floral print. Our much loved native blossoms intermingle on a pink or midnight blue background with a scattering of beautiful white butterflies. It's just so pretty.

The Mays Garden prints are perfect for any sewing project where it's all about the flowers. Belinda of Belhels and Rachel of Little Ray Bonnets have used these prints so beautifully in their large tote and super sweet baby bonnet.

Mays Tales

Last, but by no means least, is the popular Mays Tales. Our first delivery sold out and history repeats as again we have sold out. However if you are loving this one.... we do have more coming and have opened up a Pre-Order so you can secure some now!

Not hard to understand why this print has been so popular as we absolutely love all it's Australian flora and fauna and the adventures that are happening right across the print. The mix of subtle and more saturated colour, makes your eye skip over the Mays Tales print falling on something new with every pass.

Please note, at this stage our anticipated delivery is expected at the end of April/May. Please be aware that things are constantly changing with our future deliveries and this delivery date may change.
