Fabric Friday: Barclay Snails
This delightful Alexander Henry fabric is called Barclay Snails, in fuchsia and olive. Fuchsia is one of my most favourite colours. I bought enough of this fabric to make a bag, or a skirt for Elora, but I think the snails would also make super appliqué embellishments, or even nice fabric buttons or brooches. I […]
Fabric Friday: Holly Hobby
I have had this unfinished Holly Hobby dress in my possession since Georgia was little. My grandmother gave it to me – I can’t even remember the full story of this piece. Anyway, I was cleaning up Elora’s wardrobe because she is well and truly in size 2 clothes now – clothes need to be […]
Fabric Friday: Tania’s choice
My lovely friend Tania scored this beautiful vintage sheet. Isn’t it pretty! I’m quite envious. She’s going to use it to make pajama pants for herself and here daughters. I love the idea of having matching jarmies pants! There are lots of tutorials on the Internet for making simple pants, using your existing pants to […]
Fabric Friday: Spring Street
I love my collection of spring street fat quarters (image from here). I am inspired to make quilts and bunting for a shared kids’ room – my inspiration comes from here:
Fabric Friday: Urban Zoology – owls in pink
More on the bird theme. The owls are cute and I like the bright colours. Scraps leftover from making a little dress for Elora could be used for appliqué and buttons for accessories. I also think this would make such a cute sunhat.
Fabric Friday: round robin
I thought I may as well continue my bird theme fabric. This is Michael Miller’s round robin in aqua. It is very cute, isn’t it. There are lots of robins around our house, and the children love to spot them and point them out to everybody. I would like to sew this into a pinafore […]
Fabric Friday: chubby owls
These cute Kawaii chubby owls would make a delightful addition to a patchwork quilt and some bunting for my little boy’s room. I really like the soft texture of this fabric and the deep indigo colour is beautiful. I bought a yard and a fat quarter. Image from here, where you can also buy the […]
Fabric Friday: winking owls
I think owls are a bit of a hoot. In fact, I am a bit bird crazy right now, not just the iconic birdies, but real birds. I am seeing so many in my garden right now, in particular, the red breasted robin, blue wrens, wedge tailed eagles, hawks, kites, currawongs, crows, sparrows and plovers. […]
