And MORE fabric!!!

I love fabric. I found some interesting linen on eBay recently and it came in the mail yesterday, how fun! Nothing like a good find.

Then, on my way home from work yesterday I stopped at a little boutique that is closing and they were selling their fabric samples from the House Inc. bedding line so I snatched up six pieces in coordinating colors, very shabby chic type color line, which I also love but isn't that popular right now. I think it will make adorable baby clothes! I'm even thinking of incorporating the marker names written on the fabric. Each piece is about the size of a fat quarter, 18x20 inches. They were $3.00 a piece so I didn't buy more than six.

Ideas.... Directions...




So, now that it's the beginning of Fall, my mind turns to....

SPRING! Sounds silly but I'm already thinking about what to make for Spring wardrobes! Part of this has been inspired by my desire to start sewing from scratch again. I have ordered some yummy Japanese fabrics in cotton, linen and double-gauze cotton to put together some ideas. Here are some of the fabrics.

Don't worry, I am also thinking about holiday and winter styles but for the scratch sewing I'm going to have to start thinking now!

I'm also busy putting together a wholesale order so I'm cutting out purple flowers in the wee hours of the night while I watch really bad TV and my husband sleeps. Sound fun?
