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: 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. […]
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. […]
