Fabric Friday: ikea love
One of the things I love about ikea (and sorry, but there’s not a lot I love about Ikea these days) is the textile section. I often enjoy looking at their fabrics when I visit ikea during my trips to Adelaide. This particular one caught my eye on my most recent visit. I saw it […]
Fabric Friday – Loulouthi
Anna Maria Horner’s Loulouthi in June My current fabric crush is Anna Maria Horner’s Loulouthi range. I love the bold patterns and colours. This piece seems to have a vibrant personality. And it is pink. And florally. There are dozens of things I would sew with this one.
Fabric Friday – brights
Kids are great to sew for. I asked Matthew to choose any fabric he liked so I could sew pants for his cousin. He chose this one. And he asked for some pants of his own! It’s such a bright fabric. It’s from my grandmother’s fabric stash. Matthew wears these pants all the time, usually […]
Fabric Friday – storage
I have a fabric dilemma. A storage dilemma! I have fabric in a cupboard. These are mostly fabrics that my nanna bought; some of them are older than me. I’ve got fabric on shelves above my sewing table. (fat quarters leftover from Christmas!) I’ve got folds of various fancy and ordinary fabrics above my desk. […]
Fabric Friday

Fabric Friday
I bought these pillow cases for 50c each. I really want to use them as pillow cases, but I probably won’t. I’d like to sew an apron for Elora and a little skirt for Georgia (or myself). I’ve also thought of sewing strips together to make a pretty scarf, possibly backing it with some suiting […]
Fabric Friday
Today’s fabric was chosen by the lovely Emma! Thanks Emma! Emma bought this vintage Morris fabric from Etsy. She says she plans to make her baby girl (who is the same age as Elora) a pinafore with it. Emma says that the fabric is bright and cheery, and the colours are lovely and warm – […]
Fabric friday
I bought this Anna Maria Horner fabric a while ago. It’s from the Innocent Crush range. It’s First Impressions in Potpourri. It’s a very pretty fabric and I think I’d like to make a scarf or necklace with it. I’m imagining one of those fabric-wrapped bead necklaces, which would jazz up a simple outfit. It […]
