We took a blanket to the park on top of Highgate Hill to take some photos on this lovely sunny day. My partner was very accommodating in allowing me to borrow his long arms to fully display the blanket in its 180cm x 180cm glory.
Also, you can now use the code FREESHIPPING200 to get free shipping within Australia on any order over $200aud!
Yes! https://jesseirwinart.com/collections/new/products/black-and-white-birds-of-brisbane-woven-blanket
They’re a bit expensive, but they’re really nice quality. The woven fabric is thicker than I expected, and the design came out beautifully. I also only got 50 made, so they’re very limited edition at the moment!
I found a manufacturer on Alibaba, and decided to hire them to turn my art into the blankets. It was a bit of a gamble, as I didn’t buy a sample first to check their quality. It turned out great though!
For “print on demand” fabric, I highly recommend Spoonflower. You can upload your designs and get them printed on a variety of different fabrics.
I can’t remember whether I ordered from Little Miss Threads or Material Magic but I ordered two of their designs and they turned out well (one on quilting cotton, one on cotton jersey) but there’s Palm Printing Company, Sew Much Fabric, Audrey’s… that’s the open tabs on my phone anyway.

The back has a very cool rainbow sort of glitch effect!
These are gorgeous!
I’ve just purchased one for myself and 2 for gifts outside Australia! So reminiscent of Brisbane annnd I love that I get to support a local artist.
Thanks Jesse!
Jesse! Mine arrived today and I’ve gotta say, the pics don’t do these beautiful blankets justice. And omg they’re huge!! Your partner must be monkey armed because I can’t even hold one out like they are in your first pic (but then I’m a shorty).
Just wanted to say thank you so much for creating these and I’m so excited to give them as gifts (and snuggle under my own).
Anyone out there reading this and thinking about getting one - do it! You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you so much for saying such nice things! Did the make it through the post ok? I realised too late that I didn’t have any boxes to fit them, so I had to improvise with the paper bags and garbage bags.

These are amazing. Are you selling them?

How did you get them made? Is there like a 'print-on-demand' shop for fabrics?

There are quite a few Australian companies that do this now. Postage from Spoonflower is a killer.
Ah, I haven’t looked into printing fabric for a while, so I wasn’t aware of other options. Do you have any Aussie companies you’d recommend?

This is fantastic to see and I’ll be on your order list this week these look amazeballs! Love the Maggies!
just brought one way better then a poster cheers
I love it! Just bought one. My almost 4 year old is obsessed with Bin Chickens ❤️
Thank you! I hope he likes it :)
Haha, he will. I just showed him the photos and he was super excited. Started trying to name every bird ❤️
Aww 🥰 Does he like stickers? I’ll add some shiny bin chicken stickers for him when I post it.
He does 🥰.
Just looked at your stickers too, they’re all awesome!
Thank you!
Looks so freakin cool! Mind sharing what each bird is? I’m familiar with 80% of em
Sure! Tawny frogmouth, noisy miner, magpie, butcherbird, peewee/magpie lark Brush turkey, ibis Currawong, curlew, plover
Cheers!
Peewees - the underrated, unthreatening and inoffensive Aussie suburban wildlife.
totally there my favorite bird
They’re good birds.
If I bought one, I would probably put it reverse side up I like both sides, but the colour is nice on the reverse side

Not a bug, it’s a feature!
Magpie 😍
Holy shit, that's awesome. You're tempting me bad here. Edit: I love that it's woven and not just printed.
