I love a bargain, a tale of thrifty finds ...

I've been missing my "me" therapeutic sewing time of late, even though I managed to complete Jaida's Pinny project, I'm still not feeling fulfilled and wish to get some more sewing done, hence why I've motivated myself to join the EB Beginner Sewing Group and entered this months EB Sewing Bag Swap!!

With my work for Term 2 coming to an end in the next week or so (as the Term winds down) I thought it was time to prepare for my "zen" holiday time - the oneness and ability to make my sewing time really special.

As many of you know, I'm happiest when I have a project going, whether it be scrapping or sewing, or something in the garden.

With the long weekend here upon us in Victoria, I thought it an ample opportunity for a quick trip to Spotlight Shepparton to immerse myself in a bit of a fabric hunt and see what "caught" my eye! What better way to spend an overcast, chilly, raining Saturday, than to surround yourself with colourful fabrics!

I had been out last week to seek some fabric, in hand with the Michael Miller Child's apron, no fabric inspired that of which was already on the page! I may have to order that "cupcake" fabric especially in to satisfy that need!

A few fabrics caught my attention, the prints more so. So armed with a metre or two of some of them, I now have to decide what I will utilise them for!

Mel, what is the EB sewing bag swap??

And I love your fabric choices... you've inspired me to pull out the sewing machine and whip up something for Annie... I have a skirt or two in mind... Annie has fairy princess dresses in mind... might have to compromise or just do both! x
