My first quilt affected by my year-long fabric fast. I ran out of the middle grey! Now I think it would have sat pretty flat if I'd had enough.
A baby patchwork quilt made with 30+ different fabrics that feature tiny little prints. It's a miniature of the patchwork quilt I made for our home :) So cute!
Old pic I took in the summer of some lovely fabrics I've bought for making doll clothes.
I love dotted fabric of any kind, especially candy and pastel colors. Tiny dots are suitable for Licca and Blythe, bigger dots for ball-joint dolls.
And who can resist tiny animal prints? It's impossible to get them where I live because my country's not big on sewing crafts, apparently, or any kind of crafts that aren't knitting or crocheting. It's basically impossible to get any cute fabric in general, it wouldn't sell anyway because most customers are old women making clothes for themselves. Few younger women nowadays sew stuff for their kids or for themselves when they can get cheap $1 clothing everywhere they go. When tourists come into our fabric stores, you hear them say "It all looks the same" and "It's obvious it's all imported from the same supplier, there's not enough variety" (yup, I overheard an Austrian couple saying this). And they're right!
My fave - yet still less than average - fabric store closed over the summer, and the only decent craft and paper store, as well. Now I only have one tiny crappy fabric store (the one the Austrian couple left in less than a minute LOL) that doesn't even sell patchwork fabrics (OMG, too much of that fugly polyester ;___;) and a lot of cottons have at least 5% elastan in them. Where's the 100% cotton, like patchwork fabrics? O_O
The other remaining store is a small craft store with a third of the stock the old craft store used to have, and it has hardly any jewelry-making supplies. Damn economy. :(( The only other fabric store is of the "fancy" kind that sells fashion fabrics at 50 EUR ($63.50) per metre and puts the ugliest ones on sale every now and then. I laugh at normal thin jerseys in solid colors going at 30 EUR ($38). How do they even stay in business?? I adore jerseys and knits but I hate shopping for fabrics at both stores because I'm usually disappointed with what I see.
But enough ranting! I don't want to complain too much because I know a lot of people in the doll hobby are in the same shoes, I just needed to get it off my chest. Looking at this particular fabric batch makes me happy, though. This is the kind of fabric I love! When I saw the yellow deer fabric, I knew I wanted to make Unoa and Yo-SD doll dresses from it. Yaaay!
What are your fabric store experiences?
Patchwork handbag-
quarterinchmark.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-heart-patchwork-ha...
Used the cut off triangles from the Swoon quilt top. Then I pieced the pieces into a small patchwork.
Used sashiko's label fabric and Denyse Schmidt's Hope Valley for the top. Hand-quilted.
The lining is Flea Market Fancy Legacy.
Pattern: by myself
handles: purchased from Joann's store.
It was so fun to make this! Next? One for the other front seat, plus cover for console and four seat belt covers.

I've been wanting to make Liberty HSTs for awhile (uh, although I made them last year too). This is just a housewarming gift for my friend Jade. Hope she enjoys it!
