This week's theme for the "This is ..." meme was a tricky one.
Gosh, what to pick? Cheap, cheerful and local, like Spotlight? Or the faraway eye-popping, Aladdin's cave of Amitie? In fact, shop-o-holic and hopeless hoarder that I am, I could have reeled off quite a number of favourites.
In the end I settled on the point at which my fabric stash starting to get a bit out of control. You know, that first time that you go shopping and decide: buy now; work out what later.
So my favourite would be Pippijoe - an online store stocking fabulous, hand screen-printed fabric by the very talented Australian indie-designer, Caitlin. I'm yet to meet a Pippijoe print that I haven't fallen in love with.
The hemp-cotton blends are such a pleasing weight and the prints and colourways gorgeous. Pippijoe fabrics have graced all sorts of projects here and there are more in the pipeline. To be honest, I'm not sure if Mr Hoppo Bumpo has yet woken up to the fact that his surrounds are becoming more and more adorned with Red Daisies. Do you think blokes notice these things?
Anyway .... head over to Pippijoe and treat yourself to some beautiful fabric. You can always decide what to make later.
Thank you to Sharon at Handmaiden for the great theme this week and to Angela at Three Buttons who hosts This is ...
You've convinced me, I will have to order some before I go back to Sing.

ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Pippijoe (and Cheeky Beaks, Lara Cameron, Hollabee and Aunty Cookie!). Such gorgeous designs on beautiful base fabrics.
Wow, I can see why you like it so much. Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are beautiful. I am actually happy they are out of my price range because how would you choose which ones to buy.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I think this post is going to be very bad for my bank account!
ReplyDeleteHer fabric is just so beautiful! I'm sitting (well not literally sitting!)on a piece of the 'orchard' at the moment deciding what to make to do it justice..
