How how I love these sweet art smocks!! Made with laminated cotton in fun prints for boys and girls. Think of all the memories your little people will paint up for you both. Kerri, my Ohio Junie, has been hard at work to bring us many prints to choose from, I'm happy to have these back on the Etsy shop for holiday gift giving!!
It's been a mighty long time since we've offered laminated cotton baby bibs on our Etsy shop. I'm happy to say that I have a terrific staff of Junies that is able to keep us stocked up!! Check out our bibs in prints for girls and boys at Modern June.
I just listed a new batch of kiss lock purses. They are made out of laminated cotton, which makes them perfect for all your make up. I hope you like these as much as we do!!
After 7 years of business I finally have proper storage for all of our
laminated cottons, chalk cloth and oilcloth!! I am just a happy as I can
be. The other day I went in to the studio early and was overwhelmed by
the days tasks. Then I turned my head and saw my pretty new wall of
fabric and I actually waved at it, like a teenage girl flirting with a
boy across the lunchroom. Hhheeeey! Yikes, I hope I didn't blush!
A few years ago my son had a math homework melt down and as a result he took his pencil
and rammed -- it lead first -- into one of my favorite laminated cotton
tablecloths and pierced it. Needless to say I was NOT happy.
Amazingly enough, the hole never grew larger. I used that tablecloth for
another 6 months straight till a new laminated cotton fabric caught my fancy and I still
circulate that tablecloth in every now and then. I'm still amazed
that the hole have never ripped or tore though so many wipe downs and heavy
use.
Please note that we don't live in a big fancy house, we only have one
table so that table gets a lot of use!! School, work, game
nights, craft time and every meal happen at the table. We live at that table!
I've used oilcloth and laminated cotton on my tables for almost 7 years
now I can honestly say that laminated cotton is just as strong and hard
wearing as the oilcloth.
I am so excited about our current collect of laminated cotton for tablecloths and splat mats. March is looking good!! We have added 6 new prints and added a few back in. Ya'll missed them, so we got them back!
Modern June makes laminated cotton tablecloths that are round, rectangular, oval and square! Don't forget our latest addition, the fitted laminated cotton tablecloth. I can't believe the great response for these elasticized cuties!! Sweet!
As always, our laminated cottons are all BPA, PVC and lead free, so they are great for kids of all ages!!

Introducing our newest product, a fitted laminated tablecloth that wraps snugly on to your table top with elastic!! In the last year my team and I made a few of these elasticized beauties, but I never made one for myself until now, I didn't know how great they were.
Let me just say that I am totally sold. No more wiggly, jiggly tablecloths! No more fabric on my lap while I work on my laptop. No kids (code for hubby) pushing the tablecloth around during dinner. This tablecloth stays put all day everyday and I love it.
I am really excited about using these outside! My new second story deck is already for spring with it's pretty Tart tablecloth. Let me tell you, this is the only tablecloth that I've ever made that survived 2 days of 20 MPH winds. Any other tablecloth would have ended up down the block after the weekend we had here in Richmond!
I am sure that all the mama's with wee ones will love that little hands won't be able to pull on the tablecloth any longer. You know how toddlers love to practice the tablecloth magic trick! I've so been there! Scary. We are using laminated cotton because its supple, waterproof and family friendly. All our laminates are BPA and PVC free, which is good for kids of all ages.
After making several prototypes I've devised a system that allows you to adjust the elastic from two sides of the tablecloth. This way you can get the tablecloth over the edge and tighten it up as snug as possible. You can then release the elastic mechanism when you want to change to another look. Easy-peasy!
So how do you clean it? Well that's the best part. (Insert cheesy TV announcer voice) Laminated cotton is so easy clean, just wipe it down with a damp cloth and gentle spray cleanser. But, for heavily soiled messes you could drop it in the washer on gentle. If you do so, let me suggest line drying it or tumble drying on low. Be sure to remove it RIGHT AWAY from both machines to decrease the amount of permanent creases caused by the machines and heat. My personal recommendation is to just wipe it down, I have the kids do it. (Every once and a while I need to give the cloths a good mommy-once-over to get it really clean -- I think you know what I mean!) I've been using laminated cotton tablecloths daily for years and I've never needed to do more than that, even after messy cake decorating and science projects!!!
I am finishing up a round of Sewing with Oilcloth (now holiday priced) baby bibs for this weekends Handmade Holiday show hosted by the Richmond's Craft Mafia. How darn cute are they in the new laminated cottons from Riley Blake? When the boy mama's see the blue and cream bibs, they are going to lllooovvveee me!
Weather your a buy-it-ready-made or a DIY kind of gal, I'll have you covered this Sunday. I'll have a stack of books and a small amount of laminated cotton cuts for you at the show. See you Plant Zero!!
Yesterday I noticed that our "to sew" pile looked like eye candy. It's not a burden to make laminated cotton tablecloths when they look so darn pretty!!!
It's spring and that means that it's time for a new Modern June tablecloth!! Think indoor or outdoors. Pick from our new laminated cottons tablecloths or our wide variety of oilcloth tablecloths this week and receive Free Shipping on your entire order. Offer ends this Saturday.
I am totally excited to have our laminated cotton tablecloths and splat mats back. We have 12 prints to choose from and more coming every couple of weeks. In true Modern June fashion the tablecloths are trimmed out in contrasting cotton bias for a polished and professional look.
Laminated cotton is THE hot new fabric--it’s a friendly fabric that makes fabulous tablecloths and splat mats. Because it’s BPA-free, PVC-free and food safe, it's CPSIA compliant and great for family use. This thinner, and more supple oilcloth is a high-quality quilting-weight cotton print, coated with a thin layer of polyurethane on the fabric’s right side.
Splat mat 44” sq. $34.00
Square Tablecloth 56” sq. $42.00
Oblong or Oval Tablecloth 56" x 90" $62.00
Oblong or Oval Tablecloth 56" x 108" $80.00
Oblong or Oval Tablecloth 56" x 120" $98.00
PRODUCTION TIME: Please allow 1-2 weeks for us to make you special tablecloth or mat.
CARE: Laminated Cottons are machine washable but we suggest that you wipe it clean for a longer lasting product. Upon arrival you may want to iron the tablecloth from the back side, using a press cloth (important) and a dry, medium-temp iron. Store rolled.
We've got a ton of new laminates to play with, and I can't wait to get started on our new 2011 Modern June Goods based on these great fabrics. So stick around and see what have to offer later this month.
After a year of baby bib withdrawal we are back in the baby business. Our new baby bibs and splat mats are made from the new Lux Oilcloth/Laminated Cotton. They are safe for baby and easy on mom. The waterproof mats are 56" square and offer great floor coverage. The Bib has a pocket to help keep baby clean and two snaps keep it fitting for month and months. Buy the individually or in a gift set, the perfect baby shower gift.
I don't know what is better, the pretty and bold prints or that the fabric is PVC and PHTHALATE free!!!
