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...

Happy 2015 everyone!
2014... hmmm well it didn't really happen as far as the blog is concerned! As much as I loved parading my favourite clothes our trademark bad weather meant I lived in jeans and jumpers which pretty much took all the fun out of it (boo!), pair that with a serious lack of shopping funds last year and the result is... an empty blog! Anyway, anyone who knows me knows I LOVE sewing, but they'll also know I am massively lazy when it comes to actually doing it! If I made New Years resolutions mine would definitely be to sew more. I generally don't make them cause I can not keep them, but this year that's all going to change... thanks to the fab new sewing machine Santa left under my Christmas tree!!!
