I bought this fabric months ago but had no idea what to use it for. Then I found this tutorial. I'v seen a few tutorials about but I really like this one as I didnt want to use a zip. I can just imagine my 4 year old emptying out the contents on her bedroom floor, which, by the way, was a mixture of rice, lentils and mung beans (the last two from my Gillian McKeith phase)which I found in the back of my cupboard.
I recommend using a thicker fabric like this plus adding interfacing (as I did) because it keeps its shape much better and much to my surprise, my machine handled it well- I really think it was due to the interfacing as Iv use a heavier fabric like this before and my sewing machine didnt like it at all. I'm pleased with the end result.
Look what I got today:
Is it just me or does anyone else salivate when they find fabric they love?! I just want to drink it up! Im particularly pleased with the orange spot on the pink background It cost me £1.50 for a little over a fat quarter. I've seen exactly the same one online for £2.60 so I'm pleased to have saved the pennys.
I love that doorstop, the fabric is amazing! Your new purchases would make me salivate too, I was found in Laura Ashley yesterday stroking fabrics like a nutter, but I love it!
