Ebay + Sewing Obsession = spending

Oh dear, I seem to have gone a bit mad with the fabric and pattern buying since starting six weeks ago. I’m one of those sorts of peopl who loves a bargain and can’t quite bring myself to pay full price for most things if it can be avoided. I’ve started buying a few bits of fabric and a handful of patterns off ebay and its so much fun getting parcels in the mail!! Here’s a couple of my latest acquisitions:

These patterns are huge, each one of those are larger than A4 (thats roughly 12×8″) in size and the patterns go from age 2-12!!! That should keep me going for a while!

This fabric will make a pretty little dress for Keziah – look out January, sewing sewing sewing!

Lastly, I have thought about buying one of these for a while now. Its hard to take photos of necklaces on yourself and this was an ebay bargain, under $10. If and when I decide to do any sort of market stalls this will be very handy!

Sketching

I started ‘doodling’ in my moleskine the other night to take a break from sewing and polyclaying and this is what I ended up with. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it yet but hopefully something with my new Gocco that I know I’m getting for my birthday! Yay! I’ll keep you posted:

PS. I’ve since discovered a smudge on my camera lens that caused that spot in the sketch to appear lighter to the left!! Ah well.
