These prints are fabulous, especially the booze. I'm also crazy for crazy prints, so I look forward to seeing what you make with these.Stacy aka Stacybeadshttp://stacyverb.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052667328095232732.post-86054563027979612092011-06-09T08:57:40.360+12:002011-06-09T08:57:40.360+12:00Thanks for sharing your stash gems, they are all a...Thanks for sharing your stash gems, they are all awesome!

They're sharing with Era Antiques and they're in an old wooden hall. The ceiling is completely covered in amazing chandeliers.Camelia Crinolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255747263262874628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052667328095232732.post-20167544444349898602011-06-03T17:56:40.446+12:002011-06-03T17:56:40.446+12:00O,you have some lovely novelty fabrics!!!

A dress from the booze fabric is one of the dresses I want to sew for the June Challenge so hopefully you can see it soon.<br /><br />Dibs- I think "strange, but pretty" is the best description of novelty fabrics I've ever heard. <br /><br />Ceceli- The Japanese print is one of my favourites too. <br /><br />Kat- Thanks. Most of the modern ones I've seen are pretty childish, but I've seen some amazing vintage ones on Etsy. They tend to be quite expensive though.<br /><br />Stephanie- Thanks. All of mine I got second hand. I don't think they make prints like them any more. I've never seen any in the fabric stores here either. <br /><br />Brumby- It was very nice of her. It was nice of your flatmate to buy you fabric too. I love plaids too but can never find good plaid fabric. Don't worry- it didn't come off as a criticism of my taste at all, although I probably wouldn't blame you if you were because some of the prints are completely ridiculous but I love them anyway. The Frida print is great. I think you can get it from Bolt of Cloth. Thanks- I hope I got a good mark.Camelia Crinolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255747263262874628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052667328095232732.post-87073923897621540192011-06-03T05:49:33.258+12:002011-06-03T05:49:33.258+12:00I should clarify that I do like the scenary prints...I should clarify that I do like the scenary prints, it is just they don't suit me though, I look odd in them.

Can't wait to see them all made up...<br /> Good luck with exam today, I am sure you will ace it!Brumbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971989256577832523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052667328095232732.post-39686966360069833152011-06-03T05:09:30.408+12:002011-06-03T05:09:30.408+12:00These prints are gorgeous.

I have seen some great ones online of vintage ads and vintage food labels.

Your stash is admirable- I can't wait to see a dress made out of the booze fabric!Georgia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802835174547914151noreply@blogger.com
