New fabrics just in time for spring ...

Finally, my long awaited order has arrived, and fabrication.co.nz has some gorgeous new stock (or at least it will have once it goes up - you blog followers get to see it a day or two early!).

There's nothing like the excitement of opening a new box full of fabrics - I'm like a kid at Christmas, and it reinforces how much I love doing this. My imagination kicks into overdrive and I'm dreaming of all the great things I could whip up on my sewing machine. I think Thomas might get something fun this time - one of the fabrics just in is a gorgeous green on green kids print with elephants and bears and crocodiles on it (it's the bottom fabric in the picture below). I'm not sure what I'll make him out of it yet, but it's just so nice to have something for wee boys. They definitely miss out most of the time!


I've gone for a wide range of colours with this order. Lots of beautiful, bright, happy, spring time colours, as well as some deep reds and warmer tones in the fabrics from Joel Dewberry. The Joel Dewberry fabrics (see pic 2 below) would make stunning luggage, or be gorgeous as big cushions. The fabrics are a very structured look for the most part, so would suit something that shows them off.

Well, enough talk. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Happy shopping!
