Australian Animal Fabrics – Coming Soon!
Six cute little furry friends from downunder are about to make their debut on an adorable range of fabric!
Update April 20, 2020: If you came here trying to purchase my fabric, please see this post.

I’ve spent many hours working and negotiating with suppliers to have my Little Aussie Friends animal patterns printed onto fabric. The fabric I have chosen is 120gsm 100% cotton poplin which is not too heavy and is soft to the touch. I can imagine it being great for Australian themed nurseries, fabric crafts or adorable clothing for little Aussie kids! I hope people from abroad will like these fabrics too with its unique Australian animal prints!
The fabric features the six Australian animals that made an appearance on licensed tableware/homewares Ashdene last year. The animals include a kangaroo, platypus, echidna, wombat, kookaburra and koala and the fabrics incorporate a variety of native Australian flora.
I selected a Mint, Peach and Grey palette for this series so that the fabric range can be gender neutral or gender specific, depending on the fabric designs you choose.
I’ve extended pre-orders with a special pre-order price as I’ve been slow to post this update.
I’m both nervous and excited about ordering my range of fabrics! Hopefully if this project goes well I will also create one featuring my Wild Animal Babies series of illustrations.
If you do purchase any of my fabric, please do share your creations with me and tag me on Instagram @elisemillustration and Facebook @Elise Martinson Illustration!
Hello Elise, just wondering if your fabric is available to Canadian shoppers ?
I tried to order some awhile ago and they would not ship to Canada
Hi Jean,
I have enabled it now but shipping costs with Australia Post (not supported by Etsy’s shipping calculators/labels) are difficult to calculate for different countries and to translate into how the Etsy system calculates them (one up front fee plus an additional fee per extra item). Usually what happens is the customer gets charged a fee that is higher than untracked shipping and lower than tracked shipping and I end up sending untracked and refunding the customer the difference. Not really ideal 🙁
The best way to put an order through without paying any excess is to let me know what you’re interested in purchasing and I can put together a custom quote/order for you 🙂
Kind regards,
Elise

Hi Glenda! Thank you for your interest in my fabric designs 🙂 I am not currently selling the fabric myself however, it is available from other fabric retailers. I have created some lists of shops selling the fabrics here: https://www.elisemartinson.com/illustration/where-to-purchase-fabric/
