Sew Lovely! Meadowsweet 2 by Sandi Henderson

I love Sandi Henderson's work! I think she seems like the sweetest gal in all the world. And I can't wait for Meadowsweet 2 to come out! I loved the first version and this version looks wonderful as well. Here are a few images from Sandi's blog.

This is from Market. Are those chairs awesome or what??

What would you give for those fat quarters?

A huge congrats to Sandi. And no pressure, but I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Free Pattern: Saturday Market Skirt

A year or so ago, I fell in love with Freshcut from Heather Bailey and ended up buying 26 BOLTS of it. Nope. Not a typo... BOLTS. But who wouldn't love this?

Heather Bailey Store

I have made quilts, lampshades, bulletin boards, aprons (I'll show you that one in another post), hair bows, and.... skirts, with this fabric. I love it!

I have 3 little girls and I wanted them to have matching Easter dresses. But I couldn't seem to find any in my budget that came in size 9 months, 3T and 7. Solution: Make them! So I did.

Another fabric designer I LOVE is Sandi Henderson. She seems so friendly and down to earth AND she occasionally puts free patterns on her blog. Enter the Saturday Market Skirt Pattern.

I sewed away and finished just in time for Easter. They are adorable and the instructions are super easy to follow. Sandi Henderson meets Freshcut!


This pattern is a thing of beauty! And these fabrics have been sooooo much fun. I think I'm down to my last 10 yards or so. Thanks Sandi for the free pattern!

I'll try to share some of my home decor projects with these fabrics later.

Linking to some parties. Check out all the fabric fabulousness. (Yeah, I know that's not actually a word. :)

Mix n' Match: Orange Teal and Green

I used to own an online scrapbooking kit website. Did I ever tell you that? I sold it a few years ago, but I learned soooo much from that journey. One thing I noticed was that the scrapbooking a fabric industries have quite a lot in common.

In scrapbooking land, papers are designed in sets. There may be 4 or 14 papers in a line all designed to go together. I found that as a kit designer, my customers loved it when I mixed and matched papers with several lines. Somehow it made them feel more unique, more eclectic. They like having papers match that were not meant to go together.

So, for today's feature, I mixed fabrics from 3 designers. Just for fun. Here are the fabrics:

1. Amy Butler August Fields
2. Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow
3. Sandi Henderson Meadowsweet
4. Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow
5. Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow

I'd like a yard of each please.
