Update to Fabric Stash

Here are some more fabrics in my stash!

Rag-Time Homespun

Awhile ago I mentioned that I had purchased some new fabric called "Homespun Fabric". Here are a few pictures of it. Aren't the colors great? I actually really love the country feel the colors bring forth. I can't wait to start that project. I am actually awaiting another order from http://www.jublieehomespun.com/, since I decided that I would use these colors to make a blanket for my brother. I needed more than I had originally ordered. I also order some different colors in pinks and blues to make a few more baby blankets. I can't wait to get them in! They are going to make such beautiful baby blankets!

Fabrics update

The following fabrics from my stash have been used up! Numbers 24, 23, 14, 10, 7, 5, 4. Number 10 is a print that I can get more of, so if you like it no biggie. This is the fabric I made the lasr purse out of (previous post).

Friendly Fabric Find

Hooray! I answered an ad on Kijiji and scored myself a great number of fabrics! This nice lady local to the area is moving out of her farm house and is trying to get rid of 13 boxes of fabric! Most of it wasn't stuff that I could really use, so I couldn't clean it out for her. However, I did add a lot to my stash. Most of it will make great bags, but are just plain single colors. Plain colors are a good thing sometimes though. I can add a bunch of unique embellishments instead of relying on a bold pattern. Stay tuned I will be posting a new selection to choose from!

Fabrics 2

Again here are some of the fabrics that I have in my stash. I have given them numbers for easy identification when you order.

UPDATE FEB 7/ 2010- FABRIC 5 IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

These are the fabrics that I currently have in my stash. As you can see I like bright bold colors that stand out. However, every now and then a more subdued piece will catch my eye. Most of these fabrics are medium weight. They are a little stiffer, which helps in holding the structure of a bag. Lighter weight cottons can be given more body by adding interfacing, so if you happen to like the feel of quilting cotton or something similar it can still be made into a bag. Keep in mind that some of the larger prints do work better for larger totes such as a book tote or diaper bag. I usually line all of the bags I make with a plain neutral. However, if you would like a reversible bag, I can put print on both sides.
