Fabric n Trim Love

I went to Joann's Friday night. Thought I'd search for some fabric to start my doll clothes. I have enough fabric and wool already that I could insulate this place and about 5 others with yardage to spare! It's that bad, so I grabbed some of my reproduction fabrics from my back porch. I have tons buried out there. This grouping was mostly from the brown collections. I love the mustardy brown one on the left.
I'm still trying to figure out why these pics look so crappy. I think someone screwed with my camera!!!


These are more from my stash, all of them were purchased from http://www.reproductionfabrics.com/ one of my fave places for repro fabric. They have fabrics from all eras. They start with 1700's and work up to some kitchy 50's stuff.






The one below this is so cool and mod, it reminds me of a pic of my mother at the beach when I was 5. That ones gonna make a great dress and a pair of black leggings to go under, love!

Def something wrong with these pictures, or I need glasses :)
Look at those cute glasses, I found them at AC Moore, to bad they don't stay on her head. I was so excited to see them for 3.00 I bought 3 pairs, thought I'd paint them. Oh well

Lovin the ribbed knits too, don't ya just love those colors? I'm into orange lately too. Even orange soda....yum

Now this batch is from J's along with the ribbed knits. That turquoise eyelet is so awesome. i would love something for me in that fabric. The bottom wicker chair print too....love love love!

And stars of course are perfect for summer

Now if you sew you so have to go to J's, they got in a bunch of new trims. The 2 rick rack are felt, They may even be iron on. Oh sorry the smaller rick is patent leather, that's right I said patent leather! They come in a whole bunch of super colors, plus die cut felt trims in flowers and hearts.

The zebra one was really expensive but I just thought I could make something really cool with it. Maybe a purse or some pillows.




I spent 35.00 and believe me it filled maybe a third of the bag if I'm lucky. Trims weren't on sale or else I would have bought all the new felt and patent ones.

And now that I fixed the problem with my internet I can get myself in gear and start sewing. Puppy chewed the cord again....yup so discreetly though this time. I had to re splice the cord in 3 places. I went as far as to have my isp provider come out to the house. Thank god I realized where the problem was before I let them in. I think he told me it was something like 35.00 an hour for them to do inside work. That's a rip off.

So far the beast has chewed through 2 cords that supply my internet life line, plus one printer cord, and all of them were severed in multiple places.

Hopefully I'll be back in a few days with some pics of Blythe attire I've sewn. I'm tryin to think of a name for the line of clothes I want to sew. I like the name Reform School Designs allot. I also like the name Miss Liberty's House Designs too.
