Groovy

 

Just a fun pile of 1960s/1970s fabric...always makes me smile!

Finally...

Some Christmas gift making is happening up in here (so late!)...

Faux-Mekko

I found this cute fake Marimekko fabric and thought I might make a sixties-esque shift out of it...stay tuned!

Part One: The Kindness of...

...sweet and generous bloggers! I enter blog giveaways occasionally but rarely win (although I did hit a streak of good luck in December). This first giveaway was part of Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day on December 3; there were about a hundred bloggers participating. The sweet blogger at I Heart Linen had one giveaway, and then because she felt so bad for the more than 600 folks who commented but didn't win, she added another--and looky looky what I won! Some lovely Japanese fabrics, Japanese rick-rack (I loves me some rick-rack!), and a skein of Japanese linen yarn. Thanks so much, Rashida...I'm so thrilled with my goodies. BTW, she has an Etsy shop, too... Official blog giveaway inspector...

Up Close: Third

Vintage fabric.

Floral-y Goodness

Some fabric I recently bought at an estate sale; the top piece is a part of a sheet (not vintage), I think. It may become the lining of a purse I've been knitting. And knitting. And knitting. It will be finished one day!
