Freshcut and fabulous!
Wednesday, July 09, 2008 @ 1:12 AM I absolutely love the range of Freshcut fabric by Heather Bailey! ![]() They are really cute, beautiful and whimsical. ![]() Heather Bailey herself is an inspiration, to me. What I like about her collections is that she is able to mix and match any print and any contrasting colour, and they seem to go well everytime. ![]() I wish Singapore had some stock, so far I've Googled many retailers and none of them even seem to stock any of Amy Butler's prints, let alone Heather Bailey. Ah sigh. ![]() What is there not to love? I've been thinking of making a quilt these days, especially since I have been visiting certain craft websites and the quilt patterns always do seem to come out so nice. ![]() I think it should not be too difficult as I have made pillows and toilet-roll holders from scratch before, and they turned out pretty good. The only bad thing is that I do not have the beautiful resources to do so. The range of craft prints in Singapore is rather limited, as compared to Australia and America where they seem to churn out these yummy beauties by the dozen. ![]() In fact, I find the collection of fabric at Spotlight rather miserable and mandatory. It takes a lot to flip around and find a really good print, even if you do, it does not match up to Bailey's and Butler's styles. Aiyar sigh. ![]() Abysmal collection from Spotlight? Please, do not tell me these are cute. ![]() The real good stuff. I really want some quality cloth. Alright, nuff' said. I shall thereafter leave some eye candy for ahead! :) ![]() Strawberry pin cushions - aren't they the cutest thing ever? ![]() I love the contrast with bright red and turqoise. The yellow button brings it all together. ![]() ![]() Heather's workshop. Look at the numerous piles of candy-coloured fabric in her chest - simply heavenly! ![]() I feel like I just stepped into Neverland. ![]() These are the stuff my childhood dreams are made up of. ![]() Green isn't really my colour, but... ![]() This particular shade just spells Q-U-I-R-K-Y! ![]() A toffee pillow to match the caramel-coloured sofa. ![]() And, the lovely Heather herself. Awww sigh. Freshcut needs me so bad. I need Freshcut so bad. I think I would just collapse in bliss if a bundle of freshly printed Freshcut fabric arrived on my doorstep right now. On the other hand, I'm getting a spanking new sewing machine soon! ![]() Sewing machine: $299 Spare parts: $65 Fabric: $10 Thread and other miscellaneous materials: $5.90 The look of satisfaction on your loved one's face: Priceless Surprised? Can't wait for this baby to arrive. |
