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. […]
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: pillow cases!
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 […]
