New! Amy Butler Laminated Cotton!



About a month ago, I saw the new Amy Butler fabric line, called Love--it was featured on True Up.  I fell in LOVE right away. The photo of the Love Raincoat made me melt, it's to die for, right? Along with all the regular cotton fabrics, they now have a 100% Cotton that is Laminated. Yes, that's right we are talking oilcloth people. This isn't your Grandma's oilcloth or our beloved Mexican Oilcloth, it's a more supple oilcloth, and it gathers and drapes like a dream! Did I mention that it feels like butter?

Shortly after learning about the new line I was contacted by Amy Butler Designs, asking if they could use our Oilcloth Addict tips for promoting their new oilcloth. You know I said "Yes." What an honor to be recognized by such a prestigious company. Ever since, I have been aching to get some Love for the shop.


What pleases me the most, is that this laminated cotton is PUL, which means it is PVC free!!!  I am so happy that my shipment of the first printing has arrived. I look forward to making lots of goodies to share with you all here on Oilcloth Addict.

In honor of our new arrival, I say we give a half yard of this wonderful fabric away for our Monday Madness contest. Let us know, by leaving a comment, which you like best: Trumpet Flowers / Emerald, or Paradise Garden / Mint.  Good luck my lovely oilcloth addicts!  


XOXOX, Kelly

    Paradis Garden/Mint by far is my favorite. I just love the cotton line and her free pattern for the hexagon quilt. I would so LOVE a half yard. I can see a new checkbook cover or maybe a notebook cover or some rubber gloves (housework in style yippee). With a half yard, I might just be able to do all three. Thanks for the great giveaway!!!!

    I *heart* the Paradise Garden/Mint. It would make a lovely rain hat, don't you think?

    I'm partial to the trumpet flowers/emerald. Can you embroider on laminated or oilcloth fabric?

    Michelle,

    You can definitely embroider on the Mexican Oilcloth, and I assume you can with this too! It isn't flimsy, it has a nice hand to it.

    Trisha, what great ideas!!!

    I tell you guys, the pics don't do it justice! It is lovely!

    I Love Amy Butler, how exciting! I love them both but I think I like the Paradise Garden- Mint one a tiny bit more. This would make some great makeup bags, a tote, or diaper bag, or really so many other great things.

    Paradise Garden/mint, it's got to be... I'm thinking a little make-up bag for each of my big girls for Christmas surprises :) and I can't wait to see what marvelous things you do with this fabric, Kelly!!
    Happy Day!

    Paradise Gardens is perfectly named with its sleepy colors.

  32. MarthaNovember 24, 2009 at 9:51 AM

    I love the mint too. Would the large pattern translate well into small items like cosmetic bags?

  33. Kelly McCants November 24, 2009 at 10:18 AM

    Hi Matha

    Great question. The print is large, so large that the pattern would appear rather abstract on something that small. Pretty but abstract!

    I have one of Amy Butlers Laminated fabrics. I plan to make a bag, but really want to embroider my daughters name on it. Any suggestions on what type of stabilizer or needle?

    Hello,

    I am sorry I don't know the first thing about machine embroidery. But! What about a vinyl sticker?

    Karen at http://www.lilybella.com/index.php?cPath=90 puts her vinyl monograms onto her oilcloth all the time.

    I pretty sure it would be just as great on laminated cotton.

    thanks for asking!!
