SS: Holiday Edition.

Hi Friends! Holiday gift making has descended upon my house, and I've been cutting and piecing and planning like craziness. I know it will be worth it, but after spending an hour and a half at fabric stores the other day and only getting a portion of my supply list, I'm a little tired.


An hour and a half, ladies and gents. For that short stack. Okay, okay, I spent part of that hour and a half helping a friend pick fabric, and her cart had at least 15 bolts in it, so 25 fabric picks in 1.5 hours isn't terrible, right?


Cars. I'm making my sons floor cushions, and I knew I wanted car fabric that didn't annoy me. These are okay.


This stack is from the new ModKid line developed exclusively for Joann's. I'm actually using these three fabrics to make three different gifts, and I'm hoping hoping hoping I'll have a bit left over for me. I especially love that bottom print.


More from ModKid, but in the pink colorway this time. (I had to sneak in some pink somewhere, right?) Another gift, and again, I hope there is a little left for me! I really loved the floral print from this line, but it has a primarily white background, and white is impractical for what I'm making, so pretty vibrant geometric prints it is!

I took a brief glance at the dwindling bolts of Julianna Horner's first line, but I couldn't think of anyone who would absolutely love them like I do, and as I certainly don't need any more fabric, I behaved.

I'm linking up today with Sunday Stash #88 hosted by Fiona at Finding Fifth. You're going to link up too, right? Right.

  1. Just lovely! I really like the ModKid prints... and I have to say, I love the pink colourway the best! Also, it can be hard to find boy-focused prints that are also aesthetically appealing... so well done! Floor cushions are always a hit :^)

    1. Yay! I really do think they're fabulous. Even more so in person! I had seen pictures, but it wasn't until I saw them in the flesh that I was completely swayed. :)

  5. Those ModKid fabrics are really nice - I like that tile print a lot! The bottom one in the blue stack looks great, whatever it is!
