Gorgeous Fabrics for Sale....

The time has come to really say goodbye to Little Diva Designs. I've sold off all of my stock and now it's time to offload lots of gorgeous fabrics (of course I can't part with it all so I have to keep a yard or two of each!!).

All fabrics are quilting-weight fabrics that are fantastic to sew with and really hold their shape and colours well.

Some of the designer fabrics available are:

Amy Butler (Full Moon Polka Dot in Cherry)

Alexander Henry (Yui Kokeshi in Pink)

Michael Miller (Carnival Bloom in Brown)

There is also some 22mm self cover buttons (metal front and back)

and some adjustable rings with 10mm flat pad

Just click here to see what else we've got...

(Please don't forget to visit my new store, Kawaii for You, for lots of Japanese cuteness)

Swimming/Beach Bag

Have you ever tried to find a nice swimming or beach bag that is reasonably waterproof? One that you can chuck the wet swimmers and towel into after swimming lessons or the beach and not have whole bag go soggy ! I've been looking around Brisbane for something along these lines but all I could find were the ugly vinyl ones.

So on popped the light bulb in my head.... Why don't I try making one!! Now, as usual it's not as easy as I first thought but I'm plugging away at it! I couldn't find a pattern for the bag I wanted, let alone one that was plastic covered, so I've had to combine a couple of different patterns and also adjust them to my liking - not an easy task.

I quite like sewing with the plastic, although it can get a little stuck on the sewing machine if you don't hold it the right way and of course it sticks to itself like a velcro !

Anyway, I quite like how it's turning out so far (I've got two on the go - both with Amy Butler fabric) but I just need to find a way to finish it off - and that's not proving easy... Here's my progress so far.. (the blue one isn't as far along but I like it better as it's a bigger and better style than the first)



I'll keep you updated on my progress.
