So - it shall be hacked up lovingly to make at least 1 cushion for the lounge, for the princely sum of 50 pence!Next up was found in an antique shop in Southwold yesterday, I wanted a sweatshirt from Joules for C so we wandered over. It only takes 20mins to drive there and I don't go often enough. Southwold is lovely, I feel better just being there.
Yesterday was VERY windy and the sea was extremely choppy to say the least, but as you can see it was bright and breezy.This is a decent sized piece of Sanderson fabric in a print called myrtle by william morris, for another 2 pounds.
Another kick myself moment is they had a tablecloth, the same fabric edged with a really delicate crochet trim for a fiver and I put it back. C was climbing into R's pushchair at this stage and shoving it into very delicate displays so I have the excuse I was stressed!!I love William Morris prints and this one looks so summery in green and yellow, I don't actually know which room its for but I don't usually let that stop me buying something I like, and this time was no different!!

Great fabrics, and I fully understand how great buys get left behind at stressful moments! ALL my family is male, so from the days of baby boys up to roaming pre-teens with a bored dad, I often find my shopping a bit curtailed!
Lovely fabrics and how many times I have I kicked myself for putting things back when I know in my heart I should have gone with my first instinct. Never mind there is always something else. I love Suffolk ... it is where my family originated from .. on grandad's side from Hadleigh/Semer area and on grandma's further north in Debenham. x
Love that fabric at the top!
As for 24 inch waists I'm not sure I can remember having one, ever! ;)

Those are really pretty fabrics! I know the feeling of having to escape due to child related chaos!

What a lovely fabric on that vintage skirt - can't wait to see what you make from it. And the Sanderson as well - I love Sanderson fabrics.
It's so long since I went to Southwold, but it is such a great place for a wander. xxx
