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!
