More fabric finds from that special day - cottons this time. These types of print are known as 'novelties' in the textile design business. The tape measure one was bought, especially for a swap (hope my recipient likes it when it gets there and that I haven't let the cat out of the bag!) The buses and berries are both from the Swapathon - not sure who brought them but I love them to bits so thanks! I think I had buses on the brain because of the below photo of Shepherd's Bush bus station, taken through the grill of the tube station, especially for my brother who's a transport historian. I'm going to make bags out of this print. There's enough of the berries to make a dress, a Sewaholic Cambie, so I'm looking forward to that :-))
What beautiful fabrics.. Love the berries. That will be a pretty dress. Happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteWish I had a bit more time to start it all Judy!
DeleteI love these! Still gutted I missed this meet up, I'm definitely going to try and make it to the next one.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing you there!
DeleteI think that one is meant for me, so I will forget that I saw it.... :) Those are all really cute fabrics!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Tanya - it's so difficult choosing for someone else.
DeleteI was going to buy the tape measures, but instead I bought some other sewing related fabric, I will prob buy the tape measures next time. I love the buses as well must look out for that next time I am in the area. I was going to do the exact same thing with my novelty prints.
ReplyDeleteWill keep an eye out on what you create!
DeleteA bag from the routemaster bus print would be cool :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm going to make a fairly biggish tote.
