Skirts for my Little Ladies

Believe it or not, I found a few spare moments the other day to sew!

And in those few spare moments, some cute little skirts were created.

Ever since Oops a Daisy by MoMo arrived this little skirt has been planned.

I am so glad it has finally come to life.

My girls will be matchy-matchy at Thanksgiving this year.

In case you haven't noticed....Scottie Dogs are taking over the fashion world.

Or at least it seems as I walk through the little girl's section of every store.

These cute little pups are everywhere! And it just so happens that we carry two adorable Scottie Dog prints HERE in the shop. I couldn't resist the houndstooth trim. It was too perfect. (found here)

I am finishing up the tutorial for the Scottie Dog skirts, and will  post it next week!

They were easy. Like, 2 skirts in 30 minutes easy!

My little gals are wearing the Scottie dog skirts to Tea Time with Santa this Saturday afternoon. I have high hopes of getting a perfect photo  of my three rascals and Santa, and if I do I will certainly share it with you. But most likely someone will be picking their nose, one will be crying, and the other will refuse to smile. I am sure it will be priceless.

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday everyone!

Our offices will close on Wednesday for the rest of the week and then we will resume shipping on Monday November 28th.

Be sure to check back Friday for a little holiday treat!

New Fabric Friday!

I am alive. I promise.

You know how crazy life gets toward the end of the year. 

Thanksgiving.

Christmas.

Throw in a new baby, 2 toddlers, and back to back surgeries and you will understand my lack of blogging.

Okay, now lets get down to business,

and to some super cute prints!

Daisy Cottage from Riley Blake Designs is here!

My 3 year old daughter literally squealed when she saw it come out of the box!

Love the vintage phones!

And the cottages!

And the chandeliers!

Okay, I love them.

We also have precuts for the Daisy Cottage collection HERE.

Also new in the shop is

Pear Tree by Thomas Knauer for Andover Fabrics

Thomas is new to Andover and this is his first fabric collection.

Just wait until you see his upcoming collections, they are just as exquisite!

"Partridge in a Pear Tree"?

No?

Too soon for Christmas songs?

That's okay, the fabric is even better than a song!

I know those little birds make my heart sing!

I have been working on some darling little skirts for my girls and hope to share them with you all next week.

Don't forget to check back next week....

Black Friday and Cyber Monday will be awesome!

Have a great weekend everyone, and thanks for your continued support of The Little Fabric Shop!

New Fabric Friday!

Okay, first things first.

I have been MIA the past few weeks, but I have a good reason.

It looks like my Thyroid Cancer decided to come back for round 2.

Last Thursday I went in for another surgery to remove some cancerous bumps in my neck.

I will spare you the after photos, as they are a little scary.  They cut me up pretty good all around my neck, I am channeling "Bride of Frankenstein" over here.

Halloween costume...check!

I am doing well, and ready to get back to work :)

So here is What's New this week!

 Owls in Bermuda are back in stock.

Easy Fall Projects

Does your coffee table need a little harvest magic?

I made this

Sweet and Simple Tablerunner

 in a just a few hours, out of some of my favorite fall prints.

I love that most Fall collections coordinate so well that you can mix and match prints to your hearts content!

For this particular runner, I used an assortment of prints from the

Saltbox Harvest Collection

Chrysalis Collection

Wee Woodland Collection

&

Indian Summer Collection

I just cut a bunch of different width-sized strips, all 14.5" long and sewed them together.

Then quilted them to the backing just using straight lines.

And shhhhhh, don't tell anyone, but I machine bound it.

HERE is a great tutorial for a very similar tablerunner!

Another easy fall project is this

 Scrap Buster Tree Pillow

I originally saw this HERE, and knew I had to have one.

Love it.

It was so easy and a great way to use up all your scraps.

And in case you missed it last year, HERE is the tutorial for the

Burlap Halloween Pillows.

Happy Harvest!

Fabulous Fall Fabrics!

I think Autumn is just around the corner!

We are still having summer temps here in Idaho (which is so abnormal), but I sense a crisp fall breeze on the horizon.

Plus, I totally put up all our fall and Halloween decorations today.

Judge all you want, it was a weak moment :)

Today I have some Fabulous Fall Fabrics to get you all in the harvest mood!
