Sooooo...the boy and I are in the process of buying our first house...and reality has started to sink in! Among all the excitement, it has dawned on me that my rather large sewing stash (which has grown further since that post) is in need of a crash diet! I know that moving from a flat to a house equals more space, but I really want to take this opportunity to 'start afresh' by having a bit of a clear out.
I'm giving plenty away to charity shops, but I'm hoping that by listing some special pieces on Etsy I can quarantee they go to a good home. There's absolutely no pressure or expectations on you dear friends, but do feel free to browse my Etsy shop if any of the below take your fancy. And don't be shy to ask as many questions as you need to either.
**SOLD OUT** Vintage floral fabric - the very same I used for my Elisalex. Multiple metres available.
Another vintage, medium-weight, large-scale floral print. Multiple metres available.
Deep blush, vintage 1950s dress fabric. Multiple metres available.
Deep blush, vintage 1950s dress fabric. Multiple metres available.
**SOLD OUT** Unique Mediterranean-print cotton lawn, as seen beautifully on Kat.
**SOLD OUT** Retro swimmer print cotton lawn, perfectly utilised by Jo.
**SOLD OUT** Tribal print cotton sateen, as soft as lawn - shown off wonderfully by Katy.
That's pretty much it for now, but I'll be adding more fabric and possibly some vintage sewing patterns in the coming weeks...so do keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, thanks for browsing!
Oh these are soooo pretty. Especially love the large floral prints - but I'm drowning in my stash. Seriously!!
ReplyDeleteHehe, I believe you...and ditto!
Deleteooh - how exciting! I wish I'd done a destash before I moved, but I managed to convince myself that I didn't really have that much stash (the truth of the matter is quite different, which was apparent on moving day!). Best of luck with the purchase - I hope it all goes smoothly (and quickly!) x
ReplyDeleteHehe, I'm hoping that won't happen to me...though trust me, I'll still have plenty left after this! And thank you for your good wishes ;o)
Delete....and the mediterranean cotton lawn is MINE!!!! MUA HA HA HAAAA
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, go Sally! Thanks for helping me destash ;o)
DeleteDAMN YOU, I WANTED THAT!! haha
DeleteThis is what I get for living in the US, I guess :) Good luck with your destash, Marie!
Thanks Lauren, I'm surprised by how well it's going! Sorry you missed out though :o(
DeleteOmg that swimmers fabric is the coolest!
ReplyDeleteYou almost got those sent instead of the vase-print...it was a tough choice ;o)
DeleteOooh are the swimming girls still available?? I WANT!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry...both of those have sold out already :o(
Deleteso shattered.... I soooo wanted the swimmers! hehe
DeleteOh no, I'm sorry :o(
DeleteThe first print is beautiful! Good luck with the move!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carlee!
DeleteGreat Fabric, I will take a look. Good luck with the move.
ReplyDeleteNo pressure ;o)
DeleteWah, I was hovering over the buy button and all the swimmer and aztec loveliness has all gone now! Cry!
ReplyDeleteOh no, sorry!
DeleteI wish I wasn't on a fabric buying ban, I love your Elisalex fabric. I don't think I can physically fit any more fabric in my house at the moment though.
ReplyDeleteHehe, don't worry...I know the feeling! I do have a lot of it, so maybe when your ban is lifted they'll still be some left ;o)
Deletedo you know where i can buy any more of the swim fabric online (uk) - its amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, really sorry but I don't know! I bought mine from my local market...
DeleteI've been eyeing up that swimmers fabric for ages now on other peoples blogs. Gutted to miss out but I too have just moved and destashed massively so I'm pretty sure it's better this way...although if you tell me you got it at goldhawk I might sneak in a cheeky visit!
ReplyDeleteYou're buying a new place, how exciting! I know you are going to decorate it so cute!!! xo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on buying your first home! Are you scared? I ask because Mr.Pants and I are embarking on this ourselves and I'm scared shitless! Maybe it's different outside US?
ReplyDeleteI've been away from the blogosphere for so long, I can' t believe I've lost so much from your development! You've come such a long way, you 've done soooo many things-I'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteOK, your fabrics are really stunning, especially the floral ones...
Nice to come back, I was very, very, impressed with your Elisalex, you look stunning in it!
PS: Moving into a new house (congratulations, by the way!), means that there'll be no more of these pictures of you in your balcony, that we've become so accustomed with? ;) New background, yay!!!!
