Fat Quarter Love

in Inspiration on 26/07/13

Happy Friday!

The other day my husband asked me what I would buy if I was given a $25 gift card to a fabric store. I knew right away and said FAT QUARTERS! I love fat quarters.  I think I might even be a bit of a fat quarter hoarder.

So I went to Joann’s and tested out how many I could buy for $25. I bought 11 fat quartes. Not as many as I would have liked, but still enough to add to my stash. Note to self – wait for a sale and get even more! The colors are all above. Very pretty and flexible in design. I like buying different patterns.  When inspiration comes chugging along, I always have enough fabric available for a variety of projects – baby, home goods and/or apparel. Some of the patterns were so awesome that I bought them in duplicates.

I love the versatility of a fat quarter.  Measuring 18″ x 22″  – we get more fabric in that 1 little piece than if we cut fabric from the bolt. Have you thought about it that way?

I am traveling alot in the month of August, so my sewing projects have to be easy and light.  I like the idea of using a fat quarter or 2 for a sewing project.  How about you? Take a look, I even created a category just for fat quarters.. Smile.

Stay tuned.. In the coming weeks I plan to share many projects featuring fat quarters as the main ingredient!

Happy Sewing.

Day 1 for #marchmeetthemaker is Brand Introduction Day 1 for #marchmeetthemaker is Brand Introduction. I started out as a sewing blogger back in 2012, shortly after my first son was born. I had a lot of fun sewing and sharing baby items when my kids were super little. I love sharing sewing tutorials! My blog has been a great place to hone my skills and share the ideas in my head.

“I see sewing patterns”... I have an online store where you can download PDF sewing patterns. I studied fashion design at Ryerson University in Toronto, moved to NYC after graduation and worked as a technical designer. I love figuring out how to make things and put them together.

Block printing is my jam. I started block printing 6 years ago and it was ❤️ at first stamp. I started hosting free online zoom intro to block printing courses last December.  It has been a blast meeting people from all over the world, sharing my knowledge and having them block printing in one hour!

This photo popped up in my memories this morning. This photo popped up in my memories this morning. It was taken 3 years ago @bookhou store in Toronto. What a fun store Arounna has created.  I was so excited ( and nervous ) to visit the shop and see her designs.

Time flies and wow, how things have changed. I used to travel ALOT for work. In some ways, I miss those days of constant travel. While at the time it seemed as way too much travel and I missed my kids when I was away. Right now, what I would give to be traveling like I did then - places like Toronto, New York and Las Vegas. I always managed to get out and about and have a little fun on the side. Plus my old coworkers were fun, super goofy and so great to be around. They made the travel, trade shows and long hours easy to be with.
