a little bit of sewing...

I am not usually a seamstress but I loved this book (bought from Kirkbride Quilting) and I have always wanted to do something with these two fabrics, so, voila - a skirt was made.








Don't you just love it??   Well, I do!


I think the placement of the pockets is very cute and a little bit different.

I am not game to photograph it with me in it - my legs are better left to people's imagination!

I am sure there will be plenty more skirts that I will be doing in the future.

I just have to get a nice chocolate brown top to go with this one....

Fabric from Hawthorne Threads

I have ordered some scrumptiously divine fabric from Hawthorne Threads Fabric Designers.

Now, you are probably wondering where I got to this fantastic place for fabric.....

I am a follower of Erin Crompton Design and after looking at her blog I was linked to Sew-Fantastic!!!  On this blog (whom I am now following and I am soooo glad that Erin linked her!!) there is a fabric giveaway.

I am a big fan of giveaways - who isn't! - BUT to actually find a website with such a large range of beautiful fabric is the best.

I fell in love with Laura Gunn's 'Lantern Bloom' and ordered a few from the range plus others to compliment - and the prices were great too (even with the US dollar being great in Australia at the moment).



Go have a look - you will be impressed too!!

cheers
