This week I've not really done a lot of shopping (other than to order the size I needed in the Clarks shoes I tried on last weekend), in the traditional sense. What I have done, now that I have a new machine and can sew again, is a lot of fabric browsing shopping.

So here are the fabrics which are currently topping my wishlist, hopeful to be my next purchases, although I have been telling myself (as usual) that I need to first work my way through what I have. And get working on the things I'm making for other people - pressure!

001: I love mustard. It's up there with my favourite colours, particularly for Autumn. I also love the little geometric shaped flowers on this print. They're so simple and yet I think they would make a lovely 3/4 sleeve dress with a bow on the waistband. Very Orla!

002: I have been avoiding florals for a while but all of a sudden they seem to be catching my interest once more. I particularly like this print because of the little wall details which give it something more than being just another floral print.

003: I love the cutesy reindeer in this Riley Blake range. I actually do have quite a few Xmas fabrics stacked up and ready to make festive dresses and bunting and presents with. In fact, one of them is this print but on a pale green background, but there is something about the red which is just so jolly. Elephant in my Handbag is a new site to me, but I placed my first order(s) with them this week and they arrived the next day - such good service and really friendly too, so I'd definitely recommend them!

Now what I need is about a week off so that I can actually sit down and sew all of the things on the list.
