I’m always game for a new fabric collection, and if it’s locally designed – well then, even more fabulous! Skinny laMinx has teamed up with Cloud9 Fabrics to design an inspiring collection that is ready to take you into the clouds – Up Up & Away is reminiscent of traditional Scandinavian prints with a touch of contemporary whimsy. Printed on quilter’s weight cotton, this gorgeous collection is a spin off from Skinny’s earlier Free As a Bird design for Cloud9 and, as you can see from Heather’s inspirational images, can be used in a variety of ways. Just let your imagination take flight…

if you’re in the mood to rustle up a pencil-bag in this beautiful print, then zip off to Skinny laMinx’s Cape Town shop where you can get your Up Up & Away fabric straight off the shelves…
