Fabric of the Day

Taking a Break...Temporarily

I'm very busy for the next few weeks and am not able to devote enough attention to this blog for the time being so I'm taking a break from showing off fabric for awhile. 

I'll be back soon...

Ume Matsuri Sky

Over the weekend a box of new fabric arrived from Super Buzzy.  Here is one of the prints in a soft sky blue.  I've been making so many clutches lately that I'm running out a lot of my favorite fabrics. It's time to stock up again!

More Waves

Here is some fabric I bought on my beach road trip yesterday.  We went to Pacific City which is still a pretty small and quiet beach town. The weather was nice and cool but still beautiful and sunny.   

On the way home we stopped at BJ's Fabrics & Quilts and I bought two yards of this fabric, another yard I'll show off later and some fabric for my friend's birthday. 

This shop is tucked away outside a tiny town called Cloverdale and is found in the forest down a long, winding gravel drive.  The owner has filled up her basement with lots of fabric and some amazing quilts. 

Waves

Today I'm going to the beach with a friend so here is some ocean inspired fabric printed with pin dots to make rolling waves.  This fabrics works great for lining bags or even as the focus fabric.  Someday I want to make an ocean inspired quilt and this would work great for something like that too.

There are lots of quilt shops along the coast and since my friend also sews I'm sure we'll visit a few.   

Notari Sweet Pea

I've been eyeing this fabric since it first showed up at some of my regular fabric haunts last fall.  When Reprodepot had a sale I finally bought some.  It's very pretty and a nice light weight canvas.

Reprodepot is currently having a sale on Marimekko and they have a lot of new fabrics.

   

Lady Bug and Leaves

Here is an interesting print available from Mwendas.   

It's listed as 100% coarse cotton.  Looks perfect for crafts!

Amy Butler Corriander

This Amy Butler print is a great example of how wonderful simplity can be.  I see it in other colorways frequently but love this blue.  It's available at Fabric Shoppe on etsy.   

A few months ago I had a fabric emergency and needed a few yards of the Joel Dewberry woodgrain print and some Amy Butler lime dots and Fabric Shoppe was super helpful.  They had the fabric and mailed it ASAP for me.  So I highly recommend this shop for customer service and they have a lot of great, popular prints. 

Stream Bubble by pippijoe

pippijoe is another very talented textile designer from Australia.  It's interesting that there are four or five (maybe more?) textile designers from AU that are catching fabric lover's attention.  Wonder if there is any particular reason or if it's just chance that they all come for Australia?

Anyway, the wonderful stream bubble print shown above looks better in her shop photo than in my photo, so please stop by and a take a look for yourself.

Echino

Fabric Tales has some Echino prints that I thought were sold out and gone forever.  The damask print above is one of my favorites.  It's a funny and interesting take on this classic fabric print. 

I bought this same print about a year ago at another online shop and haven't gotten around to making anything from it yet.  The print is pretty large and when I finally do sew something with it I'll probably make a few pillow covers or a larger bag.    

Marimekko on Sale

Always Mod is having a big sale and it looks like all the Marimekko fabrics are on sale.  I love these watercolor style prints like the Juhannustaika print shown above.  It's on sale for $47.04, which is about $10 less than I've seen it elsewhere!  Always Mod also has $5.95 flat rate shipping for most US states, which is a nice deal.
