And even more stashed fabric ...



This is the third day of Mike's lovely Share Your Fabric Stash.

This time, as they say, I'm doing it for the kids. Two small construction-and-emergency-vehicle obsessed ones, to be precise.

So here are the boy-oriented prints from the stash (click on the photo for more detail). There's a bit of Moda, Michael Miller and Cosmo, along with diggers from Spotlight and a fantastic farmyard remnant from Big W*. All pristine and uncut (yes, yes, I know .... the boys won't want to wear these when they are 18, so I'd better get cracking).

And here is a little of my counter-balance: the antidote to my pink deficiency. Again, more of the fabulous Japanese Cosmo, cute polka dots and another remnant - the sweetest little bunnies - from Big W*.



* If you're a local, some unabashed rummaging through the haberdashery section of your closest Big W, will frequently come up trumps. The (what I suspect are "faux") remnants are generally only 1 - 2 metres, but go for a song. If gingham is your thing, go and have a look.

  1. Big W you say - I didn't even know that they had fabric. Here I have been wasting my time in their great kids bonds section and I could of been shopping for fabric. Guess where I will be this week-end!?!

  4. I have that same blue diggers fabric from Spotty. I alsways search my Big W but it's all a bit countrified. I think it must depend on where you live.
