New Fabric

I mentioned before heading to Sydney that I would be visiting my favourite fabric store while in the City and that I did!!!!!

I should probably mention I actually have a couple of favourite stores - the one I can afford and the one where I just swoon over the gorgeous imported fabrics from the likes of Armani and Prada!

So here is what I picked up at my favourite store (the one I can afford) - The Remnant Warehouse

The blue and white stripe is a cotton jersey knit and the other 6 are cottons. I am thinking shorts and skirts (including 1 for me). 

I also couldn't go past these fantastic fat quarters especially at only $2 each!

I think they will make some fantastic dummy clips.

Lastly we stopped at Ikea to grab some more glass jars to try and add a bit of organisation to our pantry and I couldn't help myself but to check out what fabrics they had in stock and ended up buying just a couple more :-)

I love how bright the plain cottons are.

Of course I would have loved to have bought sooooooooooo much more, but alas I was reminded that I have more than enough fabric at home hehehe.

So I mentioned I also that I have another favourite store (the one I can't afford) this is Tessuti in Surry Hills. They have other stores around Sydney and also 1 in Melbourne. However, I have only ever gone to the one in Surry Hills!!!!! This is where I buy fabric for special occassions but it is a fantastic store with a gorgeous range!!

Now to get sewing with all my new fabric :D

Sydney Town

So over the weekend we headed to Sydney to see Mary Poppins, and now while we were both a tad disappointed in the show, we had an absolute blast being back in the city.

Now by the sounds of it you would think I rarely go, as opposed to someone who was born and bred there and only left a little over 12 months ago!!!!! But alas, we loved playing tourist. Here is a few pics I took while away.

St Mary's Cathedral

Strand Arcade

Ok, so I use to walk past this door at least 3 times a week for work, and always wanted a picture of it and now I do!!!! I totally love it!!!! I am thinking of putting it on a canvas, your thoughts?

Now what trip to Sydney wouldn't be a complete without a picture of the gorgeous harbour.....umm........ours, we did not venture to the harbour at all (so sad I know cause we had gorgeous weather). So here is a pic of centrepoint tower - as it will always be known to me :)
