Cat recently hosted the Sew Sweet swap, I was partnered with the uber lovely Talia. The colours that she liked were - mustard, rust and grey. Normally that palette would have stumped my fabric stash, but lucky for me, I had just stumbled upon a grey wool skirt at my local thrift store. One thrift store in town is currently having an "extended" $1 sale, all out of season stock is just one dollar! It's meant I've picked up some absolute bargains, merino tops in perfect condition, wool skirts, I won't brag too much, but I'm feeling lucky! I teamed the grey wool fabric with a little off cut of hand printed fabric that I bought last year in Christchurch, by the talented designer : In my back yard . In a strange twist of fate, my scrap bag swap partner also sent me a wee bit of the same fabric!
I made a very bad attempt at some free form sewing and popped some delicious chocolate in to hopefully make up for sewing!
I've got some plans to make a few more of these zip bags, them seem to come in handy for so many things don't you think?
Oh! I totally forgot I was with you when you bought some *head slap* love Katy's work though, I just want to share it with the world ^_^. Such a chic combo, with the texture of the wool. I'm sure Talia will like it.
