I have to admit it here (while my husband is not looking) that I have an addiction - it is to FABRIC! I love the stuff. It wasn't till last year that I discovered beautiful fabrics could be purchased (gasp) online and it didn't matter that I lived miles away from a fabric shop!!! Since then, my stash has slowly increased and I sometimes think that I use the ruse that I am buying fabric for my little handmade business as an excuse... I also have discovered that sometimes you can buy MIY kits with beautiful fabrics that are already cut out (aahhh) at a fantastic price. I haven't purchased one of these packs for ages, however I discovered in my stash the other day a kit I had purchased one over a year ago for my eldest daughter and had just not got around to sewing it. I have just finished the dress and LOVE IT! Mainly because it has gorgeous Joel Dewberry and Sandi Henderson fabric that I wouldn't have thought to team together - but man they look great together. That's another thing that I love - discovering online how people have managed to team beautiful fabrics together to make something look even more special and unique. I have to wait sometimes up to 3 weeks for my fabric to arrive from the States but you know what, I think it is worth it when you see what you can come up with! Here is a piccie of the dress I have just finished for Ms Iz. I am thrilled with the finished product and am thinking seriously of adding a similar style to my collection.
