{Whats New} Bake Sale

So we're back to our routine, kids are back in school and for the first time in a long time, all is quiet at The Sewing Boutique HQ.

Good job I've got lots of orders and new fabrics arriving to keep me busy!  I might even try and squeeze some sewing time in soon as our latest range of fabrics that arrived today has got me thinking of kitchen projects!

Its full of summer brights, flowers and fruit with a bit of spotty fabric thrown in for good measure!  

So what am I going to sew with this??  The first project on my mind is this for my youngest....

From youcanmakethis.com 

My youngest adores her dolly so Im thinking she would love and apron for her and a matching one for "baba".  I think these fabrics would be perfect for that!

Im also putting together an oven mit tutorial with some matching pot holders so watch this space for those!

What would you be inspired to make with this range?  Does it say anything to you?  Would love to hear your thoughts on our latest range!

p.s. pop back tomorrow as we'll be announcing the winner of our Spooky Giveaway Bundle! 

{Whats New} Autumn Feel Fabrics

Oh how I love autumn.  Easily my favourite time of year...summer is to hot, winter is too cold but autumn is just right (in the words of Goldilocks!).  I love the colours that are associated with autumn and when I saw this collection, I new I had to have it in the shop because it would make perfect little dresses for autumn!

The collection is by Sue Daley for Riley Blake Designs and is called Tueigs and Grace (pronounced too-igs? Please correct me if Im wrong!)

Calico in Pink

Damask in Cream

Garden in Pink

Petals in Brown...and my favourite!

The Petals is my favourite and already, I have a picture of a little pinafore dress with tights and boots for the winter for my littlest one! 

So, thats this week new fabric, Im looking forward to the next lot already!

Which print is your favourite??

{Whats New} I hate to be the one to mention it....

But if you havent already seen over on our Facebook page our Christmas fabrics are now in stock!!

I know I know, Christmas starts earlier every year and the summer holidays arent even over yet but I've had these on order since last Christmas!  Things start earlier in the fabric world!

Our first Christmas collection is by Riley Blake and is called A Merry Little Christmas.   I love Riley Blake's designs so it went without saying I was going to order their Christmas range.  The second one I picked was this one by Clothworks...

This one's called Not Even A Mouse and reminded me of my favourite Christmas book, The Night Before Christmas!  Very glad I ordered it cos its super cute and the diamonds are perfect for smaller Christmas makes.

Will be adding Christmas ribbons and other lovely bits and pieces as they arrive but these were the first to hit The Sewing Boutique HQ so thought I'd add them now for you super organised crafters!  We do of course have a section on the website where all our Christmas goodies will appear in one place.

Thats it....I promise not to mention Christmas again until at least October ;)

{Whats New} Dare I Say It.....

....Christmas!!!  There I said it!  Too early?  Maybe a tad, but with the kids going to back to school next week the shops will soon be filled with cards, decorations and gift ideas (but please no carol cds just yet!).

If you are a crafter, Christmas will be a huge event that will take additional prep for your stall to look festive and indeed, you will probably have been thinking about Christmas makes for a little while now.  

So we have carefully selected our Christmas fabrics and trimmings and they are now available in our Christmas Shop! 

Here are a few of the fabrics we've selected to inspire your festive makes.  There are also bundles available too! 

Michael Miller - Nordic Holiday

Michael Miller - Deck The Halls

Christmas Stars - Red

Christmas Toys - Green

Looking forward to seeing the start of the festive makes!  I may even be ready for Christmas early this year (then again...I probably wont).
