Most of my fabric purchases are online, although I have a favourite fabric shop, World of Sewing, in Tunbridge Wells. This week I've spent a lot of time doodling about on the internet, online fabric shopping. One of my favourite haunts is Oh Sew Crafty, which has an amazing array of good value fabrics.
I seem to be leaning towards floral fabrics at the moment. In particular I love the yellow and pink floral print with the black background. Once I have worked my way through my current list of projects, I intend to sew some pretty floral dresses and blouses for the summer.
But first I'll have to choose some patterns! Any suggestions?
How do you choose your sewing projects?
i'm completely the opposite! i usually fall in love with fabric first and match it to a pattern later :) ooh floral dresses, my favourite. i like the sewaholic cambie for summer x
ReplyDeleteI might try the cambie, although seems a bit bulky for hot summer days? (Here's hoping) Was thinking of trying the sewaholic saltspring if I can find some drapey fabric! x
Deleteooh yes the saltspring would be perfect for summer, you could pair it with a denim jacket and look awesome :) i leave out the waistband on the cambie to try and minimise the bulk usually, so it's normally ok to wear in summer except on the hottest days x
Deletei love oh sew crafty! I cannot stop buying patterns since I have been on my pinterest board (https://www.pinterest.com/scientificsewin/clothes-patterns-i-own/) is getting a bit out of hand I think...I cannot wait to get my sewing machine back!
ReplyDeleteLove the patterns on your pinterest, what a great way of keeping a record of what patterns you already have. Hope you get your sewing machine back soon!
Deleteto be fair I fall in love with fabric too! My machine will be in London in 3 weeks! :)
