Japanese fabric porn
I love Japanese fabric. My normal attitude is purely obsess and lust though, as they are expensive per yard. And while I would love to make entire garments out of the delicious fabric, the cost is prohibitive. But as my typical fair fodder is appliqued t-shirts and rompers, I've been buying half yard cuts for appliques and it works outs pretty reasonably per garment. So my haul arrived this week and these are my goodies!

Oh my goodness!! I want to come round to your house to play ;)
ReplyDeleteMy brother-in-law is leaving for a 3 ear tour of duty in Okinawa. I plan to teach him about good fabric and see what he can find... But my better bet is that my mother- and father-in-law plan to visit him. I've already told her that I want her to get me cute fabric.
ReplyDeleteI am very very jealous.
ReplyDeleteOh-so very yummy indeed! Add me to the jealous list... Am also very impressed at your fortitude in cutting into it instead of merely stroking it gently. Or is that just me?
ReplyDeleteI love the Scandinavian girls! What will you be using that one for, may I ask?
ReplyDelete@Nic: I would love it if you came over to play, although I have to admit, when it comes to fabric sometimes I don't play nice :)
ReplyDelete@Indywriter: Give them a list, even better, photographs. Buying fabric for other people is perilous!
@Vonnie: Well, I had to redress the balance somehow... I am very jealous of your husband's baking and pampering :)
@Rhubarb: It takes a lot of fortitude to cut this fabric. It feels almost sacriligous.
@Myf: I had thought that I would slice and dice it for appliques but I've changed my mind and am going to use it as borders for dresses. I think.
Oh where, oh where did you find such great fabric?
ReplyDeleteI ADORE japanese fabric, especially cute kid-friendly prints - so much better than the cheesy naff stuff found in most UK fabric stores!
