Hat Type: Aboriginal Reversible Bucket Hat
Design 1: Bush Onions & Wild Flowers by Jane Doolan
Design 2: Bush Food Dreaming by Tanya Price Nangala
Dreamtime behind Design 1: In winter, after rains, new flowers become abundant. These become very decorative with bright yellow, pink and lavender colors. Wild bush onions have small bulb-like onions, long slender green leaves, like thick blades of grass and have distinct onion smell. The bulbs offer a pungent onion flavor; however, the green tops are milder. These can be eaten raw and are considered an important food for Kimberly Aboriginal people. People gather bush onions by digging in the sand. The best time to gather bush onions is in April/May. Bush onions are also a favourite food for native birds, known as Brolgas.
Jane is an experienced Aboriginal designer from the well-known Doolan family in Alice Springs, N.T. Jane skilfully drew bush onions (Cyperus bulbosus) and wildflowers in separate garden beds in a beautiful way.
Dreamtime behind the Design 2: Tanya Price was born in 1972, in Alron, north of Alice Springs, NT. She now lives in Utopia. Tanya speaks both Anmatyerre and Alyawarra Aboriginal languages. She learned painting from her parents and grandparents. Her Dreaming is Bush Tucker. Tanya uses fine dotting techniques as the background of her artwork. Her designs are precise, vibrant and attractive.
In Bush Food Dreaming, she presents several motifs clearly and neatly. She depicts a fan fair of foods like Oranges, Bush Plums, Bush Berries, Lemons, etc. It is a corroboree where people are happily eating, dancing and discussing various social matters, enjoying their presence.

Numerous businesses market Aboriginal designed creations. Warrina Designs is distinguished by its exceptionally well curated selections and outstanding customer service. Products they offer under each category–art, fabric, carpets, scarves, ties, table runners, hats–feature the best of the best, which makes shopping easy at affordable price points. I needed gifts for an engaged couple in time for their wedding, and found the perfect set. I also expressed my sincere hopes and best wishes for the bride and groom. The thoughtful people at Warrina Designs transformed my comments into a beautiful card. They then upgraded the shipping I chose from standard delivery to express to insure that the present arrived on time–free of charge! The unexpected attention their staff paid to details such as these, place them in the top tier of businesses, since they think of ways to enhance the quality of the customer’s experience. Beautiful selections, thoughtful staff, exceptional service: a rare combination in today’s business world. Thank you!

I have purchased a 10×10 inch fabric pack (40 pieces), two 5×5 inch packs (267 pieces in total) and three fabric packs. The designs are beautiful – bright and striking. The fabric itself is of fantastic quality, and feels amazing. I will definitely be coming back if I am working on any other designs requiring aboriginal prints.

The Wizard of Oz fabric was perfect! I’m working on wall decor for my granddaughters room featuring Wizard of Oz panels and was specifically looking for this pattern for my project. I was skeptical ordering from a JR Fabrics in Australia because of the distance and length of time it might take to receive the fabric. JR Fabrics shipped my order right away, I was alerted several time as to where the package was being processed and was very surprised to be notified when the package landed in the United States. I was very impressed by the latter and would highly recommend purchasing from this store.

Very fast shipping! No fault of the shop but I expected a printed pattern, not one that I have to draw out myself. I guess I’m a lazy person and just wanted to start cutting and sewing as soon as it came. This project will sit for awhile.
