I have a few lovelies for you today, and something that is not lovely, per se, but totally awesome nonetheless.
Some Lizzy House 1001 Peeps. I absolutely love this line, and I have one of the other purple prints for an eventual dress for me. I thought this print would make an awesome border around the bottom of the skirt.
Summersault. It was on sale for $4/yard, so I may have scooped up four yards. I've loved this print since it first came out, but didn't have a plan for it, so I never bought any. But at $4/yard, I don't have to have a plan. I'll use it for backing, or more likely, another dress for me. (I want a dress for every day of the week. Good plan, right?)
And the piece de resistance, this Lucha Libre print from Alexander Henry. I know, right? Awesomeness. I never thought I would actually buy anything like this, but my husband absolutely adores the movie Nacho Libre, and now that I have the top of his quilt finished (I'll show you Friday), it's time to get a backing pieced and get this bad boy sandwiched and quilted. I only managed to get a yard because some other Lucha Libre crazy peeps snatched up the rest, but I think a yard of this is enough for greatness.
Fun fabrics all around. Summersault would make a fabulous dress or shirt...or anything really. Nice score :) A dress for everyday sounds divine. I need to get over my fear of sewing for myself soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing pictures of this fabric. The Lizzy House is perfect for a project I have coming up. I haven't seen it before, but I'm off to find some. Hoping Etsy or eBay can help.
ReplyDeleteThat somersault fabric is awesome - it's not the sort of pink I usually like, but it's fun anyway :)
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw it, I fell totally in love. Really, it's a miracle that I held out this long before purchasing some!
DeleteHow has no one commented on the Lucha Libre print yet? Haha! You know I'll go there! Alexander Henry comes up with some wackadoo stuff that will sometimes catch my eye too. (The pinups come to mind!) hilarious that you also had to push someone out of the way to get part of it. Hey and you need to check out Laura C's Little and Lots blog, she made a shawl that you would adore!
