Fabric Addiction

I think I might have mentioned before that I have a bit of a fabric addiction! I would show you a pic of my stash but at the moment it is all in bags so you wouldn't see much LOL. I do however have most of it photographed in the albums on my Facebook page, if you fancy a look.

One of my favourite shops is Prints To Polka Dots, as they have a great range & do a good range of sizes inc fat quarters & 5" square. Their postage is also reasonable & is calculated by weight.

One of my new years resolutions is to organise my fabric so that i can see what I have (without looking on facebook), I'm not allowing myself to buy anymore fabric until I've done so! 

I thought i would share with you what I would have bought in the sale had I allowed myself...

Alpine Fabrics Green Cars and Automobiles FLANNEL

 This would make some super cute bandanna bibs or baby trousers.

Michael Miller Bunting Stripe

I would have made a lovely summer dress with this.

I love this fabric but I don't know what I could make with it, maybe a bag or apron.

David Walker for Free Spirit Animals Silhouette Blue

I already have this cute fabric & have made it in to some bandanna bibs which are for sale on my facebook page.

I really could spend all day looking at fabric online...

Festive Sewing ...

As things are starting to feel a bit festive around here, I thought I would share some of my Christmas makes. I love sewing dresses more than any of my other makes, possibly as having 2 boys, it means that I get to make something pretty!

I'm really pleased with this pinafore dress is 100% cotton flannel, I love how the print is festive but not so much that it cant be worn after Christmas. It also has cute heart shaped buttons, that I found in my local haberdashery shop.

I found these super cute Riley Blake Christmas squares at Prints To Polka Dots, one of my favourite online fabric shops. It was great that I could order 1 or 2 squares of each rather than having to buy a whole charm pack. They also sell all there fabric by the 'fat quater' which is great for small projects.

As well as using my machine I also enjoy hand applique, He was made using felt with a fleece scarf. I imported the carrot button from China, which I think finishes him off nicely.

Snowman Applique T-Shirt - 6-9 mths

 I also make a lot of bandanna dribble bibs which were one of my first sewing projects, since getting my own machine. I used these bibs all the time when Daniel was little as he was a real dribbler & always had wet t-shirts until I discovered these bibs.
