Sunday Stash

Sunday Stash

Today's Sunday Stash pick is some red and blue repro prints from my stash. I absolutely adore 20s and 30s repro fabrics. They're probably my favorite. I love the small patterns. They're great for little patchwork projects and for baby items. I keep a few of my repro FQs in a little craft kit that I take with me. It's just a little box with my yoyo makers, some hand-sewing thread and needles. I also have some yarn scraps and crochet hooks in the box now too. But anyway, I really like to just sit on the porch and make yoyos with these kinds of fabrics.

When I was in the hospital having the bebe, my friend Amanda sent me a package with some hex papers and some cute fabric scraps. I've been practicing with the cuuuute scraps she sent. The linen fabrics are harder to make hexes out of.

I think I'll use these to embellish some pants for Sullivan. They seem to be boyish, right? I've got a few scraps of Heather Ross goldfish in bags fabric that I think I'll fussy cut some hexes and use them to embellish a backpack for him.

I can't do any sewing today though and I have to resist the urge to pick up my crochet hooks too. I have a paper to write and a few hundred pages of Don Quixote to tackle! Yikes!

What's in your stash today? Happy Sunday!

    OOOOH! I can't decide whether I love the fabric more or the hexagons. I am SO quilting-challenged. Seriously, anything requiring scissors is a no-go for me. Very cute!
