I have been doing more sewing as of late ~ Mabel inspires me. Last week I made her one new duvet cover for the front bed, this week, if I can find fabric that I love, I will make one for the back bed.
On date night, handsome husband bought me a fabulous new little book on sewing fun things - namely skirts, and it got me thinking. I am going to attempt to sew a number of skirts for myself to wear this spring. I love wearing skirts - especially different ones. I want to design a few of my own, and this new little book has all sorts of tips on the basics, which should then allow me to alter the designs to make them my own.
I am sure that most of you already know Cath Kidston, but as I am working with fabrics so much these days, I had to visit her site as I really love her fabrics - especially when I think of decorating Mabel. If only they weren't so expensive when you work in the shipping... Doesn't she just epitomize femininity???
~I think I need these for the eggs from the girls
~I would love this for hanging clothes on the line this summer
~these little melamine cups would be perfect with the pink melamine plates in Mabel
Have a lovely Sunday mes amies,

I bought the dinner plates in that floral egg cup pattern, they just make me happy :)
Happy sewing!
I think all of her things are so fun and pretty. It doesn't match my style but I would be incorporating it if I had a Mabel:-)
I love Cath Kidston, and the other items you posted are lovely, so fun and cheery!
Have a great Sunday!

I always think that a hand made floral skirt is the perfect kind for spring...this post reminded me that I'd love to make my own!
Lovely fabrics there, and Cath Kidson really is one of the best things since sliced bread!
You'll just have to get yourself over to London. When i was there last i went to their new Potabello Rd store and it was amazing. I got so many of those gorgeous little treasures as xmas gifts for almost every female i know - sorted!

Oh, I just love Cath Kidston too! I was lucky to get some polka dotted oilcloth and a pretty scarf from hubby last Friday when he returned from London :)
I just love the photo of your collection of fabrics! Such an inspiration! Happy sewing.

I haven't sewed in a few years, you are inspiring me to dust off the old girl and get sewing...:)

Great post, I lovelovelove Cath Kidston's fabrics and wallpapers! I always use the fabrics for making lampshades, but a skirt is also a good idea!
Luckily we have some our walls covered with CK's wallpapers, so I can enjoy the flowers every day.
Happy sewing, Mimi! (and please post some pics of your skirts when you've finished them!)
Love from Amsterdam!
