Happy Friday! I am so<\/em> pleased to announce the winner of the fabric giveaway<\/a>…congrats #54: the lovely miss Cate!<\/p>\n

She wrote, “My last holiday (and the first in about 10 years) was for 3 days in Melbourne alone with my husband. We left all our kids at home and walked and walked and walked around the city; talking, eating and doing a little fabric shopping. It was blissful.”<\/em> Sounds blissful to me too! I discovered that Cate makes beautiful clothes and posts them here<\/a> and I especially love her daughter’s fashion drawings. Cate, you should have gotten an email from me already, and I can’t wait to see what you make with the fabric.<\/p>\n

I was so inspired by all the comments about traveling (so many! so wonderful!), I found myself gravitating towards this lovely canvas print that you see above. I can’t decide what to make…a short jacket for K? An insulated lunch bag (I’ve been wanting to make one of those for awhile now)? A pillow? What do you think? \u00a0Here’s another shot of the fabric:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

********************************************************************************<\/p>\n

Talk of fairies is rampant around here lately – maybe because the tooth fairy’s been around our neck of the woods multiple times. I overheard this conversation between K and her friend a couple of days ago:<\/p>\n

K: Have you seen Tinkerbell 2?<\/p>\n

S: Nope.<\/p>\n

K: SO good. You should watch it, it’s not baby at all. Teenagers<\/em> watch it. SO GOOD.<\/p>\n

S: Whoa! Hey, you’re like a fairy, K, how did you get so much magic??<\/p>\n

K: Well…I was born with it.<\/p>\n

S: Whoa….<\/p>\n

I want to point out that S was utterly serious in her belief that K has magic. It is at once heart-warming and mystifying that she has convinced her friends of her magical abilities.<\/p>\n

Which reminds me, there’s a fairy house that K and I made at a birthday party a few years ago, but it’s only recently that she’s taken an interest in it. I painted the fairy and the leaves, but K did everything else. I kind of love it.<\/p>\n

********************************************************************************<\/p>\n

Wishing you a superb weekend, friends! I have been sewing my little heart out, and I hope to be able to share the rest of the outfits next week. A haiku for you:<\/p>\n

It’s been Kids Clothes Week<\/a><\/em>
\nThe hum of my Bernina
\n<\/em>makes me feel content<\/em><\/p>\n
