Featured Artist - Christiane Zielinski

Hi, my name is Christiane Zielinski. As a child, I loved to draw and painted a lot. I first studied graphic design and then art therapy bc (Bachelor of Arts Therapies) in the Netherlands.

I love designing patterns and fabrics. Since 2019 I mainly design fabrics for fabric suppliers and in 2021 I founded an online shop called Bella Blommig, where I only sell my own designed fabrics, but this is more of a sideline because I just love the fabric to hold in my hands and I got more and more requests to sell my designs also on fabric.

I have always loved fabrics and fashion and I also like to sew, but unfortunately there is often not enough time left for it. Especially I love structured fabrics such as muslin, rib jersey and waffle jersey.

I prefer to paint flowers and animals in watercolor. My designs are very flexible in terms of style, but you can say that I've always liked the bohemian style, flowery, playful or even minimalist design. But it also depends on which style is currently in demand.

I am married, live in the countryside and have a son and 2 pug dogs. In my free time I like to be in our garden and do nice things with my family.

Vibrant colours, good feel

Good quality, washes well and didn't appear to shrink. Haven't made it up yet, still trying to find a nice pattern but it should make up well.

Lovely material

Nice and appealing material, easy to sew. Made a carry bag out of it, even after a wash it retained good strength.

Great sewing evening

I love the Melco sewing evenings! You get to meet like minded people who share a passion for sewing and Fabrics. There is always plenty of laughter and of course the opportunity to buy some awesome quality Melco fabric. An excellent evening.

Boysenberry Waffle

I was really impressed at how accurate the colour on the website was to what was delivered. It's a beautiful deep colour and a gorgeous light-medium weight.
Look forward to sewing up Swimstyle's Karla lounge set in this.

Being slightly rural to Melbourne, I was worried about the delivery notification. Mel contacted me personally & advised the delivery process.
Sure enough, I got my delivery the next day. Very impressed with Melco's customer service.

Beautiful Colours and gorgeous soft drape in Cotton Poplin

I purchased this print in Cotton Poplin for my little granddaughter. The sweet print and pretty colours are just perfect for a little girls dress. The Cotton Poplin drapes beautifully for a shirred dress. My daughter loved the fabric so much that I have just purchased anther 3.5 metres of this print in Cotton Poplin to make her a matching dress for her daughter. Colours on the photo are true.

Great colour combination

The linen is lovely to sew with and feels soft. It wears well as it does not crush easily.

Ditsy Daisy Cotton Sateen in Black

I love the look and feel of this fanpbric and knowing it’s a unique Australian print makes it even better. I’m looking forward to finishing sewing this fabric, it’s cut out ready to start today. I’m making the Isla top from Atelier Scammit, a French pattern company. The pattern is free to download on their website.

Samples Received

Mel was great, the samples received were just as I had hoped, I haven't ordered anything as yet, but certainly will do in the near future. Just need to find a bit more time to sew. Beautiful samples, very helpful, always nice to feel the fabric before purchasing.

Poplin is so soft and easy to work with

I made some beautiful Christmas Scrubs with the poplin. It washed up really nicely after arriving a touch stiff. After a wash it was nice and soft and really easy to sew up. Amazing!
