Because I forgot to tell you….

Hi! Happy Friday! The OUT TO SEA fabric has had a GREAT release this week! I’m So excited to see all of you get your hands on some fun end of summer projects:)

But I’ve been getting tons of emails asking for measurements of the map panel prints. Let me help you out .

One single Map is exactly 12×22 inches. There is a very convenient faint grid that I included in the design, which is marked in inches….very easy to cut.

So, when you cut 1/3 of a yard, you will get 2 maps…since there are two maps that will fit on the bolt (which is 44″ across).

If you are ordering online, you can specify 1/3 of a yard and make sure that you are getting 2 full maps. Some stores are only allowing cuts in 1/3 increments to that no one is cutting into it.

Happy Sewing!

And Happy Friday! We start school next week…one more weekend of summer! (insert sad face here).

Sarah

Hi Sarah Jane, I am a long time lover of your blog and I love Children at Play. I have left you this question a few times and I haven’t had a response yet but I am very curious and disappointed that New Zealand is not on the map? Would you please consider releasing an embroidery pattern for New Zealand to be stitched on by hand (and Tasmania!). New Zealand is a super cool country and as little as we might be, I think we definitely deserve a place on your map. I would love to hear from you on this subject and I am keen to put New Zealand on the map thanks. Lara

Yes! Some have you have commented on a few places missing on the map. This is an error that has kept me up at night. The map was initially meant to be the 7 continents, and no other small islands or countries. I worried it would be too much information for such a small space on fabric. But as I designed it, I realized that the details added a lot of richness, so I slowly added in the smaller countries, but was still careful to keep things loose and not too exact (I’m not a cartographer, and had no intention of making it a perfect map). So, because this was hand drawn, and not digitally created, there are some errors. And New Zealand missing is a huge mistake on my part. Ugh. I guess this just goes to show that I’m really making this stuff on my own, and well, I’m very human, and make mistakes! New Zealand has always had a special place in my heart. My apologies to all my friends across the globe. An embroidery template sounds like a good idea. Any other suggestions welcome!
