Oh what?!? It isn't Friday? Well I owe you one from last week - and believe me its not from lack of trying. I tried to load these pictures to blogger (or even save a post) all day on Friday and all to no avail. So my promise of fabric fun is coming a bit late.
I found a great fabric shop in Chicago that I wanted to visit - and I was really excited when I found out it was just a couple miles from my brother's house. Unfortunately I didn't look it up sooner b/c they also have some amazing class offerings. Once I was there though I found amazing things I haven't been able to feel and see anywhere else (I do most my fabric shopping online and its hard to tell scale, how something feels etc from any description). So while at the Needle Shop I was ecstatic to see Echino, and AMH's voile, more of AB's Love fabric and lots of amazing patterns. I'm a bit on a budget b/c I haven't been making much lately (did you notice that too) so I bought only some
Echino Scooters
And some AB Coriander in Blue
I finally got to touch AMH's voile fabric and I can tell you with much certainly there will be Voile in my future! That stuff is AMAZING! The hype I hear is real! I really wanted to make AMH's new dress pattern, but as I've never made anything to fit my body (yet) I think starting smaller (with less expensive fabric) is in order first. But let me just reiterate about her Little Folks - WOW!
Hope you had a fantastic Easter weekend. We certainly did around here. We had gorgeous weather, the message of Good News (He is Risen! How great is that!) AND I had my MIL in town to help me with a different type of crafting, and its garden season again! :)
