Fabric Friday! Another teaser for the new collection.

This weeks fabrics aren't new, I've already made a couple of things in the shop out of them.

These all have a vintage or retro feel to them. I particularly love the kittens and the peach children. All from Sew Simple at Taverham Garden Centre as per usual :D

I am job hunting at the moment, I've been turned down for two already this year. I have four applications in at the moment. If all fails with these I will be sending my CVs out, to Sew Simple in particular. Maybe it's fate eh?

Here is another quick teaser for the new collection. A little bit more clear than the last one.

I am just about to make the last 9 dresses. 18 down! Still waiting for Vista Print but I've had another idea for the packaging :D

I hope they go well, I'd like to announce a date to list them al at once lol but I'd hate to do that and then no one buy them! How embarrassing! LOL.

I'm even thinking about the next collection, is it silly to do a whole series of dresses in one colour? I really like red!

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend, pray for sun as we're behind on the gardening, at least my fruit bushes look established now. I'm hoping to plant up more, two blueberries, a raspberry and a tub of herbs while my husband fixes the chicken house and rigs us up a couple of water butts. Plus I want to sort out the green house, at least I can do that in the rain!

Lots of love,

Freya and NaughtyPixie.

Fabric for Friday! Etsy update & New collection teaser.

I am addicted to Fabric.

These are my latest buys, about two weeks ago. A trip to my favourite fabric shop is a real outing. It's in a garden centre and they have a lovely cafe, gift shop and a dolls house shop (loads more but I don't visit the others lol)

Sew Simple is like Hobbycraft but independant. It's VAST! :D

They have a massive quilting supplies section and whoever orders their fabric has great taste. There's more than your average stuffy granny quilting fabric here.

I've even found cute Japanese import printed linen there :D

I give myself a limit of four fat quarters each visit (I've spent £45 in one go in the past, luckily they have a reward card LOL) and I really relish wandering around taking my time choosing. I'll put anything that catches my eye in my basket and then I will cut them down to the last four choices.

I am so chuffed with the froggy canvas there, it's more of a heavy weave like a linen or soft canvas and great for this little raincoat I made for NaughtyPixie.

I really want some froggy rement boots now!!!

Today's Etsy update.

BUTTONS! Linen and cotton vintage style dress with mother of Pearl and vintage buttons.

NEW COLLECTION!

At the moment I am posting one dress a day to Etsy, but in the background I am working on a new collection to list together at once. Hopefully my supplies will arrive soon and I will be able to finish but in the mean time here is a teaser photo to give you an idea of things to come.

I told you it was just a little tease, you'll have to wait to see more.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, I hope to spend it gardening.

Love,

Freya and NaughtyPixie.
