Pretty pretty fabrics from Australian textile company No Chintz. I just adore their styling. They’ve done a fantastic job showing off the fabrics, don’t you think?
I scored three vintage patterns and a $1/yard striped fabric at The Scrap Exchange this weekend. I can’t believe someone just gave these away! Lucky me. :)
I can’t stop thinking about these adorable dresses that Katie made for her girls! Without a pattern, I should add. And the color palette was inspired by a favorite book. Fabulous, no?
Pretty fabrics from Cicada Studio. I can think of a few projects I’d like to get these lovelies in my hands for.

Lovely handprinted home goods from Etsy seller appetitehome. The window and shower curtains are my favorite. They’d be a great way to add some color and pattern to a room!
“I feel the need… the need for tweed”

Did anyone watch “The Office” last night? Gosh, I love how awkward that show is…
Anyways, it reminded me to share with you my current obsession – tweed. It’s not just for jackets! Here are a few tweeds I’ve been loving recently: {clockwise from top left} Donegal tweed École jacket, J.Crew; Dotty tweed newsboy, Anthropologie; Winona Clutch, SewMo’ Geometric tweed mini, J.Crew; pillows, Williams-Sonoma; Jet Set storage bench, Urban Outfitters.
Last weekend Hancock Fabrics was having a sale on sewing patterns, so I grabbed a few 99-cent patterns and decided that it was time to put my vintage Singer to the test. For my first sewing project, I decided to make the dress from the Very Easy Vogue 8278 pattern in a grey-blue lightweight gabardine. “Very Easy” might be an overstatement, but I worked on it a few hours each evening and finally finished it last night. It’s certainly not perfect (without a belt it looks like a potato sack), but it is definitely wearable and I’m extremely pleased with how my first project turned out.
I’m loving the images Volksfaden has used to introduce different fabric categories… Overlaying vintage black and white photos with their fabric patterns is such a brilliant way to show them off!
