So I went to the fabric store. It turned into a both wonderful and torturous experience, as I found myself surrounded by countless lovely colours and patterns and all manner of prettiness... but I couldn't exactly take every pretty thing I saw back home with me. I didn't even have a very good idea of what I might do with most of the pretty I found—I've done a little sewing in the past, but I'm easily distracted and never stick with things. And yet! The pretty!! Cute, classic floral prints; Japanesque novelties; batik; colourful retro designs!! Ooooh!
Eventually I got what I needed and narrowed down my choices of what I wanted (the designs up above were all purchased as fat quarters, so whatever I make of them will have to be fairly small. but on the other hand, they were super cheap!) and managed to tear myself away from the place. But I want to go back again...
So if anyone has ideas for small fabric projects I could make of these, please share them!
Ooooh! Those are pretty fabric designs. Perhaps you could make quilt squares by following interesting patterns online, then eventually you can sew the different squares together and make a wall hanging sampler, or frame them individually, or make them into pillow covers! That's my 2 cents worth...
