another destash and June's sewing

Way back in May, Jo and I headed to another destash event in a nearby town. Needless to say we bought lots of stuff ... and had a great time doing it! Here are just a few pics of what I got.

A partly used - hardly used, to be honest! - jelly roll, some fat quarters, larger pieces of plain fabrics, a large piece of Christmas fabric and some ruler holders.

A few books and some fancy beads.

Lots ...

and lots ...

and lots ...

of fabrics.

Jo has just told me that there's another destash in October. I'd better get using this lot so I can justify buying more! LOL

In the sewing for June, I only made 3 things to wear. First of all another Rivi shirt as shown in the last two posts. I'll repeat myself and say I just love the way the stripes run on the front and back yokes!

Next I made a couple of tops to wear with the tiered skirts I made in April. These are both from an old pattern - probably well out of print - Simplicity 2599. Both are fabrics I bought in Canada last summer. First a cream cotton with lines of light embroidery on it.

The second one is a very lightweight dobby spot in an ivory cotton. Both are lovely to wear and are already part of my summer wardrobe.

I said that I only made 3 things to wear. I also spent a lot of time making blocks for a long term project. I'll keep those for another blog post!

  1. Good grief, you did buy a lot of fabric. But it's all for a good cause. The good cause being making stuff with the fabric. And I thought you hadn't mentioned the purple phone - but you did! Get ready for October! Woop!

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my blethers. I really appreciate it. I do try to reply to everyone but sometimes life just gets in the way of that happening! :o)
