princess dresses

So I am not going to talk about the Christmas craft fair apart from to say our stall was in a rubbish spot and we got hardly any passing trade :(

Now to this week....below is the beautiful fabric I have bought to make two princess dresses. Bearing in mind I don't have a specific pattern this could be a frustrating week or it could go smoothingly well...we will see.

have a lovely, blessed Sunday!

great finds

I am always disappointed that there is no decent sewing shop near to where we live. There is one that's OK but doesn't have the range of fabrics and haberdashery that I would like. Today I went to a shop about 30 mins drive away to try and find some bright green bias binding....nothing. I asked if they sold a gadget for making bias binding...no. 

BUT as I was wondering around this little town I passed a vintage shop which I have passed before but thought it only sold clothing  This time I ventured upstairs and found a whole section of vintage fabrics, haberdashery and patterns!

I bought a single Marks & Spencer curtain for £5 which will make lovely cushion covers. Two metres of cotton sear sucker fabric for £3 per metre and a pattern for girls dresses which I will use the body pieces for the main part of two princess dresses that have been requested for Christmas presents ;)
