So today, to cheer me up, I went to Fabricland in Salisbury again. I seem to spend most of my life (and my money) in there. My excuse for this visit was that my daughter has asked for a pumpkin costume for the Halloween school party next week. Halloween falls in half term, so the school are having a fundraising party the week before. So, I needed to get some orange fabric. I found the most beautiful fabric
I think she will be the most glamorous pumpkin ever! Am not quite sure how I'm going to make the costume yet - am thinking it may involve wire or a hula hoop to create the shape, but am still pondering over the options. Any ideas would be welcome. It needs to be fairly quick and easy to make as I also need to make a costume for one of my sons, plus as I'm a helper at the party, I need a costume too. I think what I really need is an extra hour in each day - or perhaps I can give up sleeping!
The other great thing that happened today was that I received my order of fabric from Fabric Rehab.
This cream fabric (Pure Love Heart) is to make scarves for myself & my daughter, maybe with a fleece lining, I'm not sure yet.
I'm not sure what I'm planning with the two Moda Freebird bundles, but I knew I just had to have them. Am thinking along the lines of a quilt, but think I may need to just have them on my shelf & look at them every so often, until inspiration strikes.
