Here's my first item. This pink floral brushed poly was the first fabric from my box of goodies from Nicole that I decided to sew up.
I told Nicole that I'm not a huge fan or florals. I think she took that as a personal challenge and only sent me florals. But I'll admit - I did like what she sent.
About a week before I received this fabric, I had gone through my box of HTV scraps and cut out a bunch of designs. My plan was to weed them all while I was on vacation. But when I was this fabric, I went looking through all the designs I cut to see what color I had used for this design from Thread & Grain. It just so happened that I had used a light blue that matched the blue flowers in this print perfectly!
I used a solid cream cotton lycra from Made Whimsy for the body of my shirt. The baby blue HTV is hard to read in the photos, but it shows a sewing machine with the words "I make pretty things". You can buy the cut file here or buy it as an iron on transfer from Thread & Grain.
The pattern for my shirt is the Hamburg Dolman from Shwin Designs. It's become a new favorite of mine. I already have about 5 in my closet.
Check out Boss Lady Fabrics and take advantage of Nicole's great deals. You won't be disappointed.
