Heres a new purse idea, looks quite cute I think, but I'm especially pleased with the new printed fabric.
Its one of a series of new designs I've been working on and this is made using the first fabric swatch I received from Spoonflower.

I'm really pleased with how the designs have printed on the fabric and so I will soon be able to do something I've been working towards for a few months, Offer my fabrics for sale - very exciting!!

I've ordered up some meterage and hope to be able to sell Fat Quarters via my new etsy shop in a few weeks. I decided it would be best to keep my existing products seperate from my fabric sales so the existing shop doesn't get in a muddle, I can't wait to start selling these fabrics and see what people make with them.

Hidden Domestic Dangers......

Spotted this cartoon whilst avoiding domestic tasks, it has panicked me into a clothes washing frenzy - I think we were at about stage 4 after holidaying, completing overdue orders and birthday partying.......now surrounded by drying clothes( its been raining for days) we are at stage 2, phew, can get back to sewing without fear now :)
