I am back from a lovely break, Benidorm was much nicer than expected I have to say! I feel nice and relaxed and ended the week with a fabric shopping trip....
I had such a nice day on Saturday at the fabric shopping meet up I organised through The Foldline - there was about 20 of us, totally crazy!
Anyway I went a bit mad! Oooops! But it is sooooooooo cheap that I didn't spend much! Bonus.
Here are my spoils:
From The Textile Centre:
 |
| A soft viscose (I think!) 2m at £2.20/m |
 |
| Not sure what this is, either cotton or a poly but it is gorgeous, £2.75/m and again bought 2 |
 |
| A seersucker gingham, 2m at £3/m |
 |
| Again, no idea of composition but it is lovely and drapey but not very wide, bought 3m at £1.50 a metre |
 |
| Very creased and again I think its viscose - £1 (!!!!) a metre and I got the last 2m |
 |
| I think this is the bargain of the day! One of the ladies (Amanda I think) was telling me she bought the exact same jersey at John Lewis for A LOT more than the £1/m here - I bought this as muslin fabric really but it is gorgeous and much higher quality than a lot of the jersey fabrics I wear regular - think I need to buy the Cashmerette tshirt pattern ASAP! |
I have a couple of posts to write so I think you will see a bit more of me over this week...
enjoy!

Aha, did you have lunch at The Chequers? I thought the group at the long table by the window was a sewing group meet-up, but I was too shy to ask!
ReplyDeleteWe did! You should have come over! Have a look through the foldline website and sign up, I am organising a fabric/pattern swap in june :)
