Projects projects!

Last weekend Kimberlee and I spent a few very sweet hours at Charlotte's 'lounge sale' (can't very well call it a garage sale, it was just toooo good). We were seated comfily in her light and large living room, and whilst slurping tea and nibbling cake, cuddling little Astrid and MOSTLY chatting away (poor Kevin) we were shown the loads of fabric and craftbooks she had put aside for us to have first pick out of- as she herself is moving back to London in a while. There and then I started feeling quite light in the head (fabric addiction having A LARGE FIX) and I'm still levitated now I think...Look what I got from that golden-Charlotte-spread :

Liberty leaves in green/purples and brown/reds to combine
with some raspberry and blueberry softcord from my own
stash and to become winter little girl skirts

Liberty baby cord in geometric shapes for a skirt for myself (I think)

Liberty trees : my very favorite of the bunch DEFINITELY to be a dress for myself, in fact I now have the perfect pattern for such a dress, because Charlotte even let me have her 'Robe rouge' Japanese sewing book (on the left of the fabric)

Just thought I'd show you these : antique tiles make perfect fabric-weights when cutting

I haven't been lazying about while poor Kimberlee slaved away on the mammoth-Craftwerk-post (if you hadn't checked it out yet, please scroll down!). I've been chained to my Singer-sewingmachine (ok ok, I do enjoy it) and came up with some fresh tops for little people (I'll add them to the Etsy store later today) :

Rose and steel Echino perch bird tops

with Japanese abstract rims/backs

for girls from 2 to 3yrs old

Kaftan tunics in vintage prints for babies in between 1 and 2 yrs

And don't you remember what fun it was to jump up and down on the couch?
