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: 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 […]
Fabric Friday: from nanny’s stash
Today, for the first time since she died, I opened the cupboard to my nanna’s fabrics. I was met with the scent that always reminds me of her: it’s the smell of her house and brings back so many memories. Tears sprang from my eyes and I had to close the cupboard. I don’t know […]
Fabric Friday: vintage table cloth
I have a collection of vintage table cloths and this is one of my favorites. The embroidery has been done by machine but the work is very nice and I like the pink flowers. I like pink. I like flowers. No surprises there. I once imagined that I would cut up these pretty pieces of […]

When I do my Internet ‘window’ shopping on Etsy, I like to browse images of Liberty prints. Recently I purchased a pretty purse, which is lined with vintage Liberty. Score! This fabric inspires me to […]
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 – repurposing
Do you like my bag? I have two of them. I use them for work. One is slightly larger and I use it to carry books home. The other one (pictured) is more suitable as a general handbag. I am a real bag lady. I love bags. I hang them in our closet and they […]
