New Fabric!!

New Fabric & a new place to buy it!!!

Just opened in Asheville's South Slope is Blackberg Creative Studios (friend Stephanie is the owner!)! It's a fun space to take classes, purchase beautiful supplies & material & possibly teach a class (if so inclined). Fabulous, bright & cheery - you know I'll be back again & again!!
Look at this lovely voile! And those doggone labels? Yes, thank you! One has already made it onto a skirt just finished (post to come). 
There's another fabric - a fabulously striking purple & orange combo - I'll get a pic sooner or later.

Prehistoric Pals

Recently finished project started about 2-1/2 years ago (!) for certain young shavers, but never completed. It seems like such a random present now! 
What to do with a generously sized stuffed green wooly mammoth?? (we shall see....)
Soooo 70's!
Some shots of 'in process'. The pattern envelope didn't mention the finished size, as far as I could see. It was a surprise at first, let me tell you!

(above) Bad shot of the fuzzy pal on the operating table about to get stitched up!

Voila! Only 2-1/2 years in the making! Green fake fur from B & J's in Manhattan & bright turquoise fine corduroy ears & feet (I think from the same place). Oh - the tusks are a corduroy-like upholstery fabric.
