New bag fabrics

Half of the Fat Mumma's team just returned from Hawaii, where (as hard as they tried) they couldn't stay away from fabric stores!!!!! It drove her family insane... but it did mean there are some brilliant, bright new fabrics on offer to brighten up some dull winter days.

Why not come down the St Kilda market on Sunday's throughout the year to have a browse... or just contact me about any that take your fancy and I'll rustle up a quick bag for you :)))

On a more altruistic note, if you are feeling you need to get rid of some money (donating to a good cause), check out this website: project18.org.au. Beware though, you may need to keep some tissues handy :)

Love and Peace

Hand Made Market Week

I just wanted to put in a quick reminder that we do have a stall every week at the Esplanade Market in St Kilda, Melbourne. If you are in the area and want to come and touch and feel our products, that's the best place to come. We are always happy to have people come and say hello as it can be a long cold day, especially at this time of year! Come and check out our nappy bags, or take advantage of our great special prices :)

Love and Peace

By the way, I picked up an amazing little 'Peace' badge this week Catriona McLean, who also did this amazing little paper cut illustration which you can buy at her etsy store:

Sometimes there is a need to think of something other than Nappy Bags, and so I have to say how excited I was to meet the childrens' book illustrator Andrew McLean the other day. I think his illustrations are beautiful including this recent release, 'There's a Goat in my Coat" which was written by the now deceased Rosemary Milne.

I'm always really inspired by creatives that have stuck to creating beautiful things and have made a living from them! That's our hope one day :))

Free Nappy Bag

Did you know we have this great offer where you get a free quilted nappy bag with every vinyl nappy bag you buy? I know, you may say, "Why do I need two nappy bags?" Well let me give you a list of why:

1. Because this is a backpack, so when you are travelling it's really handy.
2. It's unisex and stylish for dad, so that you don't have to make him wear the floral pattern.
3. It's really, really, lightweight, so is great for wearing across the body.
4. You may need to ride your bike with bub, so you can wear this on your back.
5. It's handy for giving to grandma and grandad so they have a spare bag when they are babysitting!

I could go on, but you get the drift :) Basically, it's two nappy bags for the price of one AND you can buy the accessories to match!

Love and Peace

Video showing more detail of nappy bags and handbags

I've now got two videos up online about our bags. One shows the nappy bag in more detail, and

the other shows our range of messenger, day and zip-up shoulder bag.

If you are interested in seeing how big the bags are and what they hold, these are great little vids to get you started on the Fat Mumma range! :)

Day Bags and Zip-Up-Shoulder Bags

I've had a few enquiries recently about some of our bag ranges that aren't currently for sale via the web. Basically I'm getting photos together, but that always seems like a much bigger task than it needs to be :) I currently have been talking to a friend studying photography, so hopefully
we'll continue to get better at offering a greater, changeable range :)

Here is an image of each of the zip-up-shoulder bag and the day bag so at least there is an example! :)

These are also some of our new(ish) fabrics here are a couple of new ones...

Messenger Bag Style - Nappy Bag Use...

Well thank god school holidays are over. I feel I can finally start thinking again. As much as I love the peace again, it was a fun Easter holidays! There was plenty of creative fun to be had, and we even got down and got dirty with the fabric paint! Here is a great t-shirt dress that my youngest and I put together! She did such a great job! If you want instructions on how to make one, just email me and I'll send you the instructions! I can even sell you a plain t-shirt for a cheap price (although I don't have many plain ones left!).

I also got more photos to put up on the website, as soon as I get chance! These messenger style nappy bags have been a popular seller lately!

The beauty of all of our Fat Mumma's bags are that they are versatile. They are all designed with the idea that they you can use them as a beautiful handbag OR as a nappy bag. All the bags have a large zip pocket on the back, which is perfect for storing all a parents needs when it comes to nappy bags.

These Messenger style bags have a studded flap, a large zip pocket inside, as well as a phone pocket. They also have an adjustable strap, and as mentioned above, that beautiful big zip pocket on the back!!!

The bags you see here are made up and raring to go and you can choose any of the fabrics on the website. The RRP is $110.00, with postage and packaging included :) If you're after one, please email me, as I'm a slow coach at getting them up on the online shop!

Peace and Love

Ebay Specials

We have had an Ebay site for a while where we sell off our overstocked fabrics, etc. We currently have green nylon which we bought thousands of metres of in order to get the 'right' colour. Of course, in true manufacturing style, as soon as we bought these thousands, they then started stocking 'said' colour and selling in much smaller amounts!!!! :) Ahh.. the life of small hand-making business!! One day we'll be able to stick it to them.... (or not, as the case may be! LOL!!)

More made up bags!!!

I finally managed to get the light box set up the other day and have taken a few more product shots of our hand bags which are due to put on the website for sale in the next few days. Here's a sneak preview before they go up.

Just a little teaser of our day bags, and two of our zip-up shoulder bags. I'll also be putting us a couple of our messenger bags as well as some new backpack designs :)

Found this great Lantern Site from the UK

Have been looking for something interesting to replace the old rice paper lanterns in the girls bedroom. I came across this site, which has some beautiful designs and thought it presented a new spin on the flat colours of the one's I currently have.


You can find them at: www.hanginglanterns.co.uk
