I have already chosen (and purchased) some adorable fabrics, part of the Michael Miller Fabrics Whimsey Collection available at Cabbage Rose Quilting and Fabrics, located on the historic west side of Fort Worth. My first two skirts will be...
Swatches from http://www.cabbagerosequilting.com/

I am not sure if the Cabbage Rose stocks the Gypsy Bandana line but if they do not you can be certain I will be ordering them online!
Also, Three Chickadees Textiles offers an amazing variety of patchwork madras... totally adore Nantucket Summer, Coastal Maine, and Silver Shores.
It is going to be a fabulous spring... hoping also for a few shift dresses and a tunic or two. I will post photos of the finished products!
Don't you just love Michael Miller? I just started sewing again recently. I'd love to know what patterns you're planning to use for your skirts! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose prints are adorable!! I wish I could sew!
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are so pretty, they'll make lovely skirts!
ReplyDelete@ Tara -- I do, the prints are awesome! The pattern is a basic a-line, a few inches above the knee... I would love to do straight but my hips are not a fan of them : ) Hope your weekend is going well.
ReplyDelete@ Preppy Lane -- Me too, thankfully my mom knows how! She said she is bringing me one of her extra sewing machines and is going to teach me (apparently skirts are quite simple... we will see what happens!)
@ Pink Maple -- Thanks, I hope so! Looking foward to pairing them with cardigans and sandals... bye winter!
