I guess there is a theme happening here...

Not sure what it is about fabric but it is a beautiful thing. Maybe it is the colour, the feel of 100% cotton or maybe it is the excitement of what you can create with it. I still get a little nervous when I have beautiful designer fabric in my hands that maybe I should use some of my more reasonably priced "spotlight" fabric, but of course when you actually sew with the better stuff, you understand why you pay more for it.  Anyway, there are birthdays coming up, markets coming up so I hauled out my increasing stash and prewashed and dried the fabric in preparation for a cutting out session in front of My Kitchen Rules and Parenthood this evening. The plan is to do a bunch of cutting out tonight then make the most of my child free afternoon tomorrow and sew as much as I can. Dresses and frilly knickers are the go I think, but then it will be onto skirts and headbands. My first Twilight Market is coming up on April 16th so this gives me a decent leadtime to get together some beautiful kids clothes and accessories. 

Here is a piccie of my first bunch of fabric to start with. This pile features Heather Bailey, Michael Miller and Patty Young for Michael Miller.  I am hoping to get another bundle ordered online at etsy tonight as I discovered another pile that looks beautiful with some more bold colours. I think little girls can get away with wearing bold colours and I love the way dresses now push the boundaries with bold patterns and colours teamed together.  You can peruse for hours on websites and get great ideas of how to match colours and patterns together - beautiful stuff! 

Well the baby is sleeping so time for me to cook dinner before I pick up Ms Isabella from daycare. I love the sound of silence!
