i love sourcing fabrics, i can spend hours browsing online for the right thing. most of the fabrics i use for the dolls are vintage, imported or recycled. then from time to time a trip to the Cloth house becomes vital.
Alessandra and i had arranged to meet there yesterday after discussing our frustrations about online fabric shopping , we then had tea and macaroons round the corner at Yauatcha.
i left with the feeling i had known Alessandra for years, it was just lovely.
and i brought back some great fabrics along with some new inspiration.
a few Lumi dolls are now in the making.
both green patterned fabrics at the top of the second pic + stripey one are from the Cloth house, the rest are vintage ones.

Lucky you! The trip looks delightful. I read Alessandra's post about it as well. It is always nice to have a fabric-loving friend to browse about shops with.

Comme toujours j'aime ton choix de tissus, et il me tarde aussi de voir le résultat!

nothing like the feel of a cloth to choose fabrics and yes it's a real shame about good internet fabric shops...
