Little things & Big shopping results ;-)

Thought I show you what I've been up to lately.

Firts I was (and I still am) busy sewing little things. Cell phone pouches are pretty popular right now and I think I need to buy a whole role of that Berlin Skyline ribbon. Everybody is asking for it ;-)


I finally found a fabric flower style I liked. Surprisingly enough I've known this folding technique since I was a little girl. I loved to fold fabric napkins like this. I just folded two 5"-fabric squares and stacked them on top of each other. Let me know if you want a tutorial.

Last Sunday I went to a very happy place ;-)
A couple of times a year there is a GIGANTIC fabric market in Potsdam (close to Berlin). So far, I've always missed it. This time it has been in my calendar for months ;-)
My lovely little sister happens to live in Potsdam and she and later on her boyfriend were brave enough to join me. Before I went I gave myself a budged and left my debit card at home ;-)
So, this is what I came home with:


Almost everything was on my wishlist. Bottom left is a whole new collection and will become at least one diaper/camera bag. The pic next to it shows some jerseys which I want to turn into some shirts for myself. The middle pic on the right are quilting fabrics: two white on white prints I have been happily using for the June-block of my Scrappy? Sew Bee It! - bee:


I will show you the whole block once it arrived safely in Sweden.
