Oh, that exchange rate – it does dangerous things to my credit card! The latest arrival from Z and S Fabrics:
These are all from Anna Maria Horner’s Chocolate Lollipop range. Aren’t they beautiful!
The fabrics are superb quality. I’m really looking forward to making a few things from these! Miss Clare has put in an order for something from the “rainbow” striped fabric and the two smaller florals. I bought a yard of each, and am beginning to think I should have bought more.
The pattern for this door stop is from Lotta Jansdotter’s book Simple Sewing. I needed some fast sewing therapy – this fit the bill, and it’s useful!
It was super-quick to make. I reduced the pattern pieces to 80% of the original, but they could probably have been made smaller again. It took loads of dried beans to fill! Probably a couple of kilos (I used up the ones that have been sitting at the back of the cupboard for years, since I figured if they’d been there that long, we obviously don’t cook with dried beans). And as you can tell, I’m still going using that Ikea fabric!
