Scrummy new fabrics & Fabric Swap!

I’m in the process of making some new bunting! As you can see, its in my usual choice of florals.

As I cut these out last week, I got thinking about the fabrics I usually choose. Mostly, I tend to use florals, which strikes me as funny, really, as I don’t have much in the way of floral at home - I tend to keep things plain. Sometimes though, its good to shake things up and choose away from the norm. I think it helps stir up new ideas?

So, after what seems like an age of a fabric drought I did a spot of fabric shopping last week and this lovely lot turned up from Saints and Pinners and M is for Make!

Remember I asked in a previous post if anyone would be interested in a fabric swap? I didn't get as much interest in it as I'd hoped for but a few people said they'd like to take part, so here we go!

I'm keeping things really simple!
