Happy New Year to you all....I can now say that 2023 is starting rather better than 2022 ended thankfully. I think that we have both had flu....it has really taken the wind out of our sails but slowly but surely we are both coming out the other side....I have even been in my sewing room!!!
Before Christmas I was given this bag full of cotton fabrics.....I'm always willing to take excess fabrics off people's hands and can always find a use for it.
Since Christmas I have been given a huge box filled with mostly Laura Ashley curtain fabrics .....metres of each one!!
It was Sally, the mum of little Harry Johnson, the little boy who died of cancer at just 7 years old, that gave it to me. I have told her that I will use it to fill a craft table for her to raise funds for other children with cancer....there is rather a lot of gorgeous fabrics to use.
Sally suggested that bunting sells well so I have already made a start cutting out and sewing bunting flags and have also been searching Pinterest for other iteas of what to make with it all.
The craft table is at a local show in the summer so I have plenty of time to make it all.....its so lovely to be able to dip into a box filled with gorgeous fabrics.
I am starting back to work today and already have several customers wanting to come so filling in a craft table will fill the time I have left. I will visit as many as I can in between my sewing jobs.
Hugs,

The fabric looks fab Annie. I will pop round to see it in real life. X x Jo
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Annie. I hope 2023 is kind to you and that you are back on form soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea you’ve come up with for using the fabric. You really are the kindest of folk.
Can I buy one of the buntings off you please when you are ready.
Love from us both. Give Milly a hug from me.

ReplyDeleteHow lovely to play with all those lovely fabrics - and for such a good cause... Happy New Year and WOYWW! Susan #4
ReplyDeleteI think we’ve had the flu as well, despite having the jab in November, there’s definitely Flu A going round our area. It’s taken the wind out of our sails for sure but we are getting there now. That’s a good pile of fabric and for a great cause too. Are you backing the bunting triangles? I use old white sheets, it gives them a better appearance and you can charge more!

ReplyDeleteGlad to read that you might be on the mend now, my goodness it’s taken it’s time. Nevertheless, happy New Year to you both, am sure you’ll both be making the most of it all, as fine examples to the rest of us to pack everything in and enjoy everything. Beautiful fabrics from Harry’s Mum, wow am sure you’ll do some fab stuff for sale. I love the blue and white roses. Great selection, means you can work on a different fabric as the mood strikes!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric looks very pretty. A lovely idea to make items for a craft table. Happy WOYWW. Angela #19
ReplyDeleteOh what super fabrics, the bunting will be superb. I finally got round to making a fabric tree and remembering to include it on my blog post, thanks for the inspiration, it's adorable. Hugs BJ#14
