Fabricaholic


Well, I have been fabric stashing HARD the last few months, busily gathering an array of beautiful fabrics and fine prints to add to my collection. In case you don't know 'my name is Polly and I'm a fabric stash-aholic'! It doesn't help that I have loads of amazing fabric shops right on my doorstep Simply Fabrics, Sew Over It, Fabrics Galore and a host of African wax print fabric shops just down the road in Brixton. Not to mention the online shops like Fabric Godmother and Middlesex Textiles. Yes this band of drapers have all been aiding and abetting my ever increasing fabric addiction ... and I couldn't be happier! I've stocked up on pattern paper and card and have a list of projects as long as my arm to crack on with. All will be revealed on the blog but here are some of the fabrics I've added to my stash recently...

Marrakech Finds 
On one of my many wanders around Marrakech I stumbled across this little fabric shop near the Kasbah, so of course I had to nip in and pick up a couple of souvenirs! I still have no idea what I want to make with these, I think I'll save them until I'm feeling inspired...
