New Fabric
Show and Tell is wasted on elementary schoolers. Join several dozen bloggers weekly to show off an item, tell a story, and get the attention of the class. Come see what the rest of the class is showing.
This little lot arrived yesterday:
That’s over eight and a half yards of fabric, one yard of batting (to make a couple of baby quilts), five yards of ribbon, one yard of snap tape (so much easier than attaching snaps one at a time), a book of baby patterns, plus a pack of tracing cloth to copy the patterns from the book. It’s all wonderfully soft, organic cotton. Guess what I’m going to be busy doing whilst waiting for our child to arrive? Though now I’m starting to think I might make something out of that red fleece for myself instead. 
I love the soft white & red pieces of fleece (top two), & the other bits of unbleached cotton flannel, ribbing and jersey, but I think these two are my favourite pieces:
How cute is that alphabet fabric? Now to start the boring bit: washing & ironing this lot. Hmm, what to make first..?
Ooo, I love the sripes…
..and I sooo agree about the snap tape.
That looks so nice and soft…you’re making me wish I knew how to sew!
Hi..thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I think it’s so awesome that you are adopting..Being adopted myself, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. So congratulations to you =) Also, that red fleece, is rad.
How lovely! I so wish I knew how to sew!
I love the abc fabric. Have fun! I hope you show the finished projects later.
Oooooooh, I love it! Lots and lots of pretties! Have fun sewing.
Oh wow. I am nesting too, (if a little prematurely, in my case).
This is so inspiring! I am tempted.
(Though I better wait till at least we get approved.)
Oh, we’re not even approved yet, but we’re close, & I just couldn’t resist any longer.
I have this sudden urge to become your new BFF so you’ll make one of these blankets for ME (who cares about my kids — they’re not babies, lol).
Seriously, I love that alphabet pattern, too. I’ve always admired people who can quilt.
LOVE the fabric. I hope you share your final product with us.
Love the fabrics! Like the others said – please share the finished products, I’d love to see them!
Love it. I wish I could sew. My mum is an awesome quilt maker.
Good luck with your adoption, I really wish this was a realistic adoption for us. I also appreciate your vegan perspective – we are two vegetarians.
Wishing you all the best and thanks for stopping by my blog.
Andie.
Oh, I wish I were that crafty – I can barely sew on a button. That is a wonderful project to have. Years ago, our young women’s Buddhist group made quilts for a hospital and I sewed one square. I loved doing it, but unfortunately, patience is not a virtue for me. Please show us when you are done.
I love the fabric! where did you find something like that? looking forward to updates
Most of the fabric I get comes from Nearsea Naturals.
I love the word hunt puzzle fabric! Never seen anything like that before!
That is an awesome lot you’ve got there! My fingers itch to join you sewing
Hope you have a great time making some lovely things for your little bundle!
Hi! I think the fabric looks lovely! I tried to make a quilt once, it was supposed to be 12 cross-stitched panels on a pretty background….I still haven’t finished it.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Yours was one of many I had open yesterday when I was interrupted so I don’t think I ever commented but I read quite a bit. I even mentioned to my husband that I was reading a blog written by two scientists.
I love the fabric you bought. I wish I knew how to sew. Good luck filling the beautiful things you’ll make with a beautiful baby!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. That crossword fabric is really interesting.
Best of luck on your adoption journey!
I really love the alphabet one!
I’m a total fan of the alphabet fabric myself! It’s unique and not something commonly seen on any Babies R Us shelf.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment! I love the fabrics and can’t wait to see what you make!

I love the alphabet fabric. So adorable. I wish I knew how to sew.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog.
Oh, how I wish I was crafty! Sewing on a button is the limit of my expertise, so consider me jealous.
The fabrics you picked are awesome…I am a fan of the stripes.
Best of luck on your journey! Have a great weekend.
love the fabric!
Gorgeous. Love that find-a-word print. So divine.
I have been doing a bit of kids clothes sewing of late – not for me, too jinxy – but for friends etc. Loads of fun!
Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog! = )
I LOVE that fabric, it is so cute. I’ll definitely be checking back in to see the finished product!
That alphabet fabric is too cute – I’ll be interested to see what you make out of it!
Thanks for visiting me!
The fabric is lovely!
Lovely fabric!
I can’t sew a stitch…but I love seeing what others create.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, and your kind comment!
I love the stripes!! Thanks for stopping by and checking me out. I hope to read more from you. Good Luck on all the sewing!!!
The ABC fabric is adorable! I can’t wait to see what you make from it!
