Are you addicted to fabric?
Do you have sleepless nights dreaming of your next project?

First up we have this wonderful cushion made with the Apple Owl collection, unbelievably this is Helens first patchwork project!  Rachael made her bag for a friend using a Heather Bailey design, perfect for Spring.  Janet makes paperweights, doorstops and other funky gifts, she sells on Folksy and you can find her quirky gifts here.  Michelle made some lovely bunting  for a friends birthday, thank you for emailing and congratulations on your wedding in Vegas!  Finally, Lucy has made bunting using designs from the Carolyn Gavin ‘Wild Thyme’ collection, take a look at her other funky bunting designs here.

A big thank you to all our customers that have emailed pictures of their latest sewing projects.

Alfie is growing at a rate of knots, I can’t quite believe he’s 6 months already.  One of our customers Alice, makes these super cool Dribble Bibs and I just had to have one – well 3 actually!   Alfie is wearing Frippery Green, one of the other designs used is Little Vintage Cowboy.  For more info on these great bibs and other items, take a look here. 

Even though its the holidays alot of you have been beavering away, it seems you’ve got the crafting bug!  These lovely bags were made by Charis who not only is very crafty but is a photographer too,  you can see more of her photography here.  The fabric Charis used was Lollipop Trees Pink and Wild Seed Pods Green,  we’ve just taken delivery of more Carolyn Gavin designs, soon to appear in the shop.

Beverley made this gorgeous bag using Humming Birds Mustard, it’s a beautiful design by Patty Young, we also have Blossoms Yellow which is part of her Flora and Fauna collection.

Finally, we have this cute tote bag from Sarah, using the Apple collection by the designer Alice kennedy, this collection of fabrics would make a stunning quilt.  Take at look at more of Sarahs creations at The Bothered Owl on Folksy.

This gorgeous needle book was made by another of our clever customers – Alex.  These little Needle Books are perfect for gifts,  Alex has used Lizzy House Lollipop Trees Pink, its also included in this lovely bundle available in the shop.  If you would like to know how to make one, click here and take a look at Alex’s blog ‘Make do and Send’.

Wow! Our customers are so clever,  these gorgeous booties and baby cloths were made by Caroline using Sandi Henderson and Prints charming designs and can be found (along with other designs) here in Carolines Etsy shop.

We love this darling little dress that Zofia made for her daughter,  the colours of the dress and design have an autumnal feel, perfect for this time of year.  If you’d love some Merry Mushrooms for a similar project, click here.

Thank you very much to Karen at Blueberry Park for sending us these lovely pics of her Pencil Rolls.  The use of dots and co-ordinating designs look fab.  Karens Pencil Rolls can be found here along with lots of other goodies at Blueberry Park.  The fabrics Karen used can all be found in ‘Whats New’.

Since the arrival of Alfie I’ve been thinking about lots of baby projects.  I happened to mention to my mother-in-law that I’d love a quilt for his cot,  I’d ear marked some fabric I wanted to use, and a couple of days later this lovely quilt appeared!  Unfortunately this fabric has been discontinued but we have a lovely animal print ‘Funky Jungle’ that would make lovely quilts.

Look at this truly scrumptious  ’Cupcake Teddy’ that one of our Fabric Addicts has made using Pink Cupcakes for her friends baby girl - who could resist!   Take a look here for more lovely bears by Abby at Bubs Bears.  If any of you would like to send in pictures of projects, please do, we love posting them on our blog for others to see.

This gorgeous bag has been made by Emma using our Little blue fawn fabric, unfortunately we have sold out of this but we do have another design, Little Fawn & Flowers that is cotton canvas and would make great bags.

Another of our fabric addicts has been making these lovely childrens aprons.  Clare has used the large russian doll print that we have in stock (although going fast!).  It’s a slightly different colourway to the apron pictured but nonetheless very gorgeous.  You can buy these one off aprons from Bagpinny. 

You’ll be pleased to know that the long awaited delivery from overseas will be here very soon and it contains a brand new russian doll print similar to this, which of course we had to order in more than one colourway!
