It's already getting cool in my neck of the woods but I'm still thinking about warm weather patterns. Maybe because a bunch of new ones are being shipped to my mailbox....shhhh don't tell my husband. Everybody knows that a sewcialist "needs" new patterns to sew up all that stashed fabric in the lurking closet. You'll back me up on this won't you?
But we're not here to talk about the real stash, but the stuff I'd buy if there was unlimited money and storage space. What am I currently itching to put in my virtual shopping cart? I'm so glad you asked.
1. Want your own Maria Denmark
Edith shirt to wear while strolling around town? How about using this
Dusty Sea Green cotton shirting from Waechter's. It would look great with either neutral colored or bright shorts. Make sure to tell any would be suitors that your ancestors were Nordic.
2. How gorgeous would the Blueginger doll
Mae blouse be in this
eyelet from EOS! Pair with a red pencil skirt and get your Joan style vavoom on.
3. Jump on the By Hand London
Anna dress craze and make your first one (you're contractually obligated to make at least 3) out of this lovey abstract
Carolina Herrera print from Mood Fabrics.
4. Maybe you're more in the mood for some lounging around the house with your beloved dog/cat/toy frog. Whip up some Grainline Studio
Lakeside PJ's in this fun
teacup print cotton (Also from Waechter's) and you'll always be properly accessorized while drinking a giant mug of tea.
That's all for this episode of secret stash my lovelies.....damn I want that teacup cotton!
I love all your choices but especially the teacup print! So super cute.
ReplyDeleteIt's official. I hate you.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding... actually I think this is a great idea since you feel like you've put a project together without actually having to buy and make the stuff. That eyelet is SO COOL and the rest of your choices are pretty smashing as well...
Ohmygosh, that teacup cotton is ADORBS.
ReplyDeleteTeacup print, teacup print, how much of that could I get if I sell Desmond or maybe organs, or maybe Desmond.
ReplyDeleteHey I like that idea of it being a project put together. It almost sounds like something a smart person would make money off of. :) I'm not so smart, drool, drool.
ReplyDeleteTeacups for you, teacups for me, let's all drink some tea and go hee hee hee hee. No really we need to buy that.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric choices are so much fun, I love them!! I like how you pair them with a pattern. I do that as well and currently have little piles of patterns and fabric all over my room.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have a personal stylist (I think you should start charging for this service!). I need each of these - just much more time to actually make them up (when will my husband get that second job so I can quit and sew full time??). Love, love the teacup print!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely mental picture of your sewing area full of piles of fabric/pattern pairs.
ReplyDeleteWooo Hooo, I'm happy to be your personal stylist. All we need is some sort of time stopper device to get more sewing time. I'd like mine to be toddler free sewing time. ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, and if it was just in the sewing area, it would really be lovely. It's in the living room, dining room and office. :)
