Fabric I'm dying for
I used to have a handle on buying fabric. Don't get me wrong, I had to exercise major self control, but I always had the excuse of not being able to use it for Luke, and it being just to cutesy for me to pull off. I would only buy out of these bounds if I had a baby gift I was intending to make or if I thought I would still like it by the time I have a girl. (Deep down I'm pretty sure I'm having all boys, but that's a whole other can of worms).
But now, I'm having a hard time holding back. With my etsy shop, I just can't control myself. I'm hoping at some point I too will be grossed out by all of the fabric I have laying around, but for now, all of it is calling to me, and you guys are the ones who are benefiting. I at least get to stare at it while I turn it into something little and cute.
This particular fabric line, My Folklore by Lecien, I was a little too late in finding. I was able to score a few of the prints, one of them I am making into a dress for myself, stay posted, but the rest of them I will just have to stare at on my computer screen. There are a few half yards of it floating around at Sew Mama Sew, Reprot Depot, and Purl, I highly suggest grabbing some before it's completely gone.

Those are adorable! I love the second to last one. I'm in the same boat as you. 19-month old little man, no little girl. There's so much cute girl stuff though! I've noticed my shop tends to have more girly stuff than boy stuff. My poor little son! Haha.
They also sell it at Superbuzzy! I just bought some for a curtain in Stella's room.
ooo, very very cute stuff!
Your California Memories brought back a lot of mine too. Ours even included lots of car trouble as well. Sorry about your car. So Frustrating.
Okay, seamstress...I knew you were doing a lot of sewing, but what shop ? and is this all your line of clothing? Need to be caught up.
The pics of your little family are adorable.
It is time for all of us to have another Cafe Rio rendezvous!!
i'm kicking myself for not picking some of this line up the THREE times i considered it at purl . . . now i'm going to go look at all the fabric i have so i can get grossed out and never want to buy anything new again. . .
love it, love it, love it.
so are you gonna make some more boy items? I love the ties, but I am looking for something for like a 6 month old...
Oh there's little rooster's in there. Cute. (And I'm finding catching up in one day a little exhausting).
