Fabric Friday: ‘Grocer #5’
This fabric, ‘Grocer’ cotton drill from spotlight is bright and cheery. Spotlight has a few colorways of this but I chose the red version (#5) for making some Christmas presents, such as oven mitts, aprons, gardening gloves and hot pads – you know, useful kitchen stuff. I thought it might also make a good iPad […]

Fabric Friday: purple
I have been bursting to sew myself a new skirt. It needs to be a heavy weight fabric and it needs to be made with wintry colours. I am going to make a simple skirt. I will. Once I have given this purple fabric (‘vintage dreaming’ cotton drill from spotlight) a wash and an iron. […]
Fabric Friday: Georgie’s choice

I bought a pair of large pillow cases from the op shop. I really like the colors – great for spring, and quite feminine. These will make two pairs of pants for Ella. She is quite adamant these days about wearing pink pants. I was not prepared for my little baby to become so fashion […]
Fabric Friday: pillow case
Just the sweetest little pillow case today. Another op shop purchase. I remember Holly Hobby from my childhood and I love this one. I am debating whether to use this as a pillow case for Elora (it is a perfect size for her junior pillow) or chop it up to use the images for appliqué […]
Fabric Friday: pillow cases
One of the coolest things I did on my birthday was a lot of op shopping. I had some time off work to take Ella to an appointment. I bought these gorgeous retro pillow cases for 50c each. They are in superb condition and they are made of a close weave cotton. I am so […]
Fabric Friday: Heather Ross
These are from Heather Ross’s Far Far Away III collection. I adore the vintage-style little cowgirls playing with their horses. It brings back memories of the toys I used to play with at my nanna’s house. I like the pretty flowers in yellow. I’m tempted to buy fabrics from this collection and sew up some […]
