My new fabric arrived and I just want to stare at it touch it all day! I am officially obsessed with fabric and fun, funky, retro prints. I wish I had disposable cash resources, so that I could collect fabric to my heart’s content.
I bought a fat quarter set of Michael Miller’s Funky Christmas fabric from Sew, Mama, Sew for this project and I can’t wait to get started! I am sad that I have to wait. I have several baby projects waiting and then I will have project: BABY! Hopefully, by November things will settle down and I will find time for projects while baby naps.
I am going to have about half the fabric leftover afterwards, so I will just have to make something else (darn). I may do a Christmas throw quilt, but here are a few ideas of smaller projects made from Michael Miller fabrics of Christmases past:
Mini Pear Ornament from Retro Mama. She sold these in her Etsy Shop last Christmas, but I am not sure if she will again this year. Of course, you would need to make ONE Spool Birdie so that you can have a partridge in your pear tree.
Fun, colorful Christmas Stocking from Star Monkey Brass. SO much classier than the faux fur and glitter glued ones that I grew up with.
Retro Christmas Apron from October Eight. She also has her own Etsy Shop: Sewing Geek. This would be the perfect gift to give the hostess of that annual Christmas Party you go to every year.
