We’ve been getting so many grey and cloudy (and wet) days lately, so I was happy to work with this Beyond the Backyard collection from Camelot Fabrics, that I got from Stay Home Fabrics.  I love the little bees in the tossed Tiny Blossoms print, and the Daisy Mosaic on white was the perfect pop for the lining. This Orange leaves print is different than my usual style, but I’m glad I ventured out of my comfort zone. All of these gorgeous springtime lovelies are available (on sale) from Stay Home Fabrics right now. 

This bag is Swoon Sewing Patterns’ January pattern, and her name is Vivian. I have the Swoon subscription and it is such a great value. It’s so much fun waiting to find out each month what the next pattern will be. 

I also made Vivian some matching accessories: a cup cozy, a couple key fobs, and a glasses case. 

Now is your chance to get a great price on these fabrics from Stay Home Fabrics, as they are having a “Going out of Business Sale.” Lindsay has really enjoyed interacting with everyone with her shop and loved the work, but her and her family have made the decision to pursue other life dreams. The store will officially close at the end of February. All stock will be marked down, so head on over and take advantage of the sale to build your stash. She still has a great selection of quilting cottons, Essex linen, and fleece. Here are a few from collections I love. 

Update: The store will have a new owner, which means it will stay open, yay! It also means sale prices will end January 30, 2015 in preparation for the new owner, so stay tuned to see what’s in store.
