{In The Shop} New Florals and Fruit

There's always lots of excitement around here (for me anyway) when new fabrics arrive.  Needless to say I was over the moon when a BIG fabric order arrived last week with lots and lots of new florals, strawberry ginghams, spotty fabric and some gorgeous "shabby chic" style fabric with flowers and hearts.  Here are a few favourites....

Strawberry Gingham - Red

Cottage Garden - Petal Pink

Pretty Peonys - Biscuit

Elephants Parade - Sugar Pink

The Elephants Parade fabric also comes in Wine, Biscuit and Navy and would be perfect for any new baby makes.  These are just a few of our newest fabrics in.  Lots more still to be listed so make sure you check back soon!

Something else new...

Also new on our shelves are some ribbon bundles, carefully put together to match our fabrics and, hopefully, any makes you might find yourself making!!  We have five types, Blacks & Reds, Candy Floss Pinks, HoHoHo, Little Boy Blue and Spring Has Sprung.

Have a lovely week everyone!

{New Products} Good Ol' Blighty!

Things are very busy around these parts at the moment, but not so busy that we haven't noticed we are fast approaching the Jubilee celebrations and the Olympics.

Are you having a street party?  Are you making decorations ready for the big events?  Maybe you're a crafter who's making lots of creative souvenirs ready to sell at your upcoming craft fairs?  Either way, take a look at what lovely stock has just arrived here at The Sewing Boutique HQ.

Ribbon Love

Whenever Im in my local haberdashery, Im almost mesmerised by the amount of ribbon there is!  Its like the most beautiful rainbow, with more colours!  Our stock of ribbon is building up nicely Im pleased to say and I thought I'd share a few photos we're getting ready to put on the site.

Gorgeous satin ribbon in loads of colours and spotty ribbon.  Who doesnt love spotty ribbon!?  Also, how gorgeous are these vintage buttons I came across the other day?

These will be going in the "Vintage Finds" section on the site along with some really lovely vintage fabric, sewing patterns, trimmings and more buttons!

Only three weeks to go!!

Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for visiting, and hopefully reading, the very first post from The Sewing Boutique.

We will be launching our online sewing supplies shop on 1st March 2012.

Currently we are busy putting together stock, taking photos and building up the web site.  All of which is time consuming, but such a lovely way to spend a day Im sure you will agree.  Who wouldnt want to be surrounded by fabrics and buttons?  Its going to be hard to part with all this lovely fabric but Im sure a few sneaky scraps may find their way into my stash!

I look forward to sharing the journey with you.  The 1st March will be here before we know it!
