Fabric Stash Friday

in Inspiration on 13/12/13

I was in New York City last week. I had Friday off from work and spent the day shopping around SoHo and the fashion district. Fabric and trim shopping in NYC is one of my favorite things to do. It makes me super giddy. I was on the lookout for anything different and unusual to add to my stash. During my late night sewing binges, my stash always comes in handy.  I haven’t even opened the stuff I bought the last time I was in New York.. Lol. As if I needed to buy more!

Here are a few of my purchases..

M & J Trimming – Nailheads, nailheads, nailheads!! When I saw these little guys I had to buy a mixture of packets. Excessive, maybe??  But I already have some heavy metal ideas brewing. While I was in the store, I noticed they launched Project DIY.. A gift subscription that sends materials to make trendy accessories. Check it out. Very cool!

Mood Fabrics – I love Mood Fabrics. This is the ONE STOP fabric shop.. If you visit NYC, put Mood on your must see list. There are bolts and bolts of fabric, but with a mix of excitement.  I bought a stash of colorful zippers. They were such a great price. I’m still wishing I bought more!!

Purl Soho – This place makes me want to cry. Not only does it remind me of living in NYC, but it makes me want to quit my job and just sew 24-7.. Nothing else. Everything they sell is just soooooo lovely. Can you guess what the roll is? A fat quarter of chalkboard cloth.. Ha. Awesome.

Well, that’s it for today. Happy sewing.

My entry for this week’s design challenge @spoon My entry for this week’s design challenge @spoonflower. Browns are definitely not my favorite color these days, but the challenge was “earth tones” and using just 4 colors. 

Ps. This started as a super simple block print and then I scanned it into the computer and drew the pattern in illustrator. 

If you have a moment you can head over to spoonflower to vote. ❤️✔️

I am so glad it’s the weekend. How about you? I’m off prompt for the month and here is #carvedecember, Day 7 and the prompt for “Long”. I really like structured, linear and streamlined prints. With this challenge, I am playing around and trying new things.

So many people have asked me about my process. One So many people have asked me about my process. One tip is that I love using a grid to create the overall design and keep the block print streamlined. Here’s how you go about it. #carvedecember #carvedecember2022 #blockprinting #haberdasheryfun #blockprinted #speedballink

Day 5 for #carvedecember is “Plain”. I’m not Day 5 for #carvedecember is “Plain”. I’m not a huge fan of florals, and for some reason this shape came to mind. By itself it is kinda boring/ plain. In a repeat design it definitely comes alive. 

What is your printing process? Do you like all an over scattered or a grid pattern? My favorite way to work is using a pencil grid and then making a very linear and streamlined print.
