My new FABRICS have arrived

So I was using the computer as the UPS guy drove up. I will admit that a butterfly of excitement went through my belly. I LOVE receiving my fabrics! It is truly like Christmas morning!!! I have to post some of my faves here. But, you can check out ALL of my fabrics here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/14906607@N05/sets/72157603353767840/.

I can't wait to get sewing!!

NEW FABRIC COMING!!!!!!

He he he he!!!! I feel like a little kid leaving the candy shop with my bag full of penny candies (oh how I miss penny candy stores!!) I LOVE this new fabric. I am waiting on pins and needles until it gets here! I can't wait to get it! I LOVE the red and turquoise - so great for spring. Also, how COOL is the orange and yellow pop - so retro! What will I make with this??? I am in the process of addding other new fabrics to my selections - FABRICS - If you have been thinking about designing your own bag - I have some fab fabric coming!!!

My new fabric love - Alexander Henry

Here is my new fabric love - well at least for the week!!! It is an Alexander Henry Japanese inspired "Lady Yang" print. This fabric brings a feel of a more vintage Asian fabric. I love that parts of the gold in the fabric is actually shiny - really retro!

Manic Monday Business Sense - Japanese Fabrics

Why are Japanese fabrics ALL the rage?? Yeah, I will admit that the patterns and colors are interesting. I like the feel of the "vintage" look fabrics.

I will admit that I loved Memoirs of a Geisha and have been fascinated with the culture since then.

I do cruise Ebay for some good deals on vintage kimono fabrics. I search around for good deals on Japanese fabrics (which are a bit on the pricey side - $8.00 for 1/2 yard).

I have found a site - Fabric Tales that offer a nice selection with reasonable prices. They have kids fabrics, modern japanese and traditional kimono like fabrics.

So, now I am off to find the next "japanese" in fabrics.......

Ciao!
