Market Day

A morning sourcing fabric in Shepherd's Bush Market, to replace some cushion covers that are looking a bit weary. Didn't go for these beautiful brocades - but the shimmering florals clearly made their mark, as I bought this vintage dress (£4!) from Roman Road Market on my way home.

Fabric Samples For Quilts

An afternoon spent sorting out fabric samples, after collecting several bags full from a friend who was throwing them out of her studio recently. So excited to get sewing my next quilt!

Layers

Another post about layering, this one not as colourful as the last.

Chiffon

I set myself the challenge of making something from practically nothing last week. I found this beautiful piece of fabric in a second hand shop in Notting Hill for £2, which was once a fully functioning top (I think). I hope I just about managed to fashion it into something wearable without having to get a needle and thread out, although there is something Egyptian Mummy about the tied chiffon/muslin vibe.
