Success!

Yesterday's shopping trip turned out better than I expected.  Although I didn't find any fabric per se, I did pick up something small to go with the Art deco-y border print fabric.  And it came from H&M, so it was super cheap!  For now it's a secret, but I will post pictures of the results tonight.

Happy sewing thoughts-

Fabric Friday

I bought some more fabric last week, after tricking myself into thinking that I needed more.  Clearly I do not need more, as indicated by my Billy shelf that is fully to the brim with yard goods.  The only remedy, of course, is to sew, sew, sew!  Of course it's never fully evident why all these projects-in-waiting do not come to fruition more quickly, but I have an inkling that part of the puzzle is inspiration.  Once I get an idea in my head I tend to fall in love with it, and the project seems to fly off my fingertips like a ball of yarn unwinding.  I'm waiting for the inspiration to hit ;)

Anyhow, here are pictures of the fabrics.  Do you have any ideas about what these lovelies should become?  Any and all ideas are most welcome!
