Cotton Candy

My new orders from Superbuzzy and Repro Depot came in. Aren't these fabrics adorable? My favorites are the "Pear Blossom" from Superbuzzy and the bamboo-cotton blend from Repro Depot. I've never worked with a bamboo fabric before! It's so silky, it feels like water in my hands.

I'm excited that Superbuzzy is right here in my town (Ventura, California). When my order is ready, I can just go pick it up at the warehouse! If you don't know Superbuzzy, they sell really sweet, high-quality Japanese import fabrics and some other craft supplies, like yarn, books, patches, etc.





Here's a behind-the-scenes peek at my new project. It's going to be a 1930s-inspired dress for a child, size 2, and it'll be in my store as soon as it's finished. . . . Which it almost is! Only I'm having a little trouble with the sleeves (I seem to have cut them too small) but that should soon be resolved.

I love this fabric! It's Kona Cotton in Pink from Repro Depot. It's great all around but what I really love is the color! It's so sugary. It feels less like I'm sewing a dress, and more like I'm making cotton candy or strawberry milk.
