Last week, I bought some beautiful clearance fabrics and this one just screams Fall, so I had to make this up before getting a move on with the Christmas sewing. I made a simple dress out of it with Butterick 5438, my standby basic dress pattern.
I took this picture before church. After church, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and realized I wasn't wearing any mascara. ACK!
I saw this fabric on someone else's blog this last week:
This is just too adorable, I can't stand it! We love matroyshkas! I must have this! My JoAnn didn't have it, but it's on sale online for pretty cheap, so I will absolutely be ordering a couple yards. Have no idea what I'll do with it.
Some more fabrics you can be sure I'll buy some of -- Ed Emberly!!!!
We have several of his drawing books (the thumbprint one might be our fave) and I just love these fabrics!!! Due out in February, I believe, from Cloud9 Fabrics. Can't wait!
The matryoshka fabric is even more gorgeous in person. I know, I bought five yards of it on amazing sale, and now I have to figure out what to do with it!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate-
ReplyDeleteI love your choices of fabric.
