I LOVE Amy Butler fabric...LOVE IT! 

The colors and the designs are so delicious! 

I bought some a couple years ago and had a diaper bag made.

Here are some of the fabrics & projects I am currently in love with:

We don't have a lot of room for seating in our living room...so how great would those large floor pillows be?

The above inspiring projects were made using these fabrics

from the Love Collection by Amy Butler:

I am in LOVE with the duvet cover in the last picture....so I about fell out of my chair when I saw you can download the pattern for FREE!!

And how awesome is that chair?! It would look so good in my living room!

 The above items were made using the following 

fabrics from Amy Butler's Dew Drops Collection:

I have so many things bookmarked that I want to make with Amy Butler fabric.  Which leads me to my next point, I have been talking about how one of my goals this year is to learn how to sew...and I want some help from you dear readers....

• What are some easy beginner projects? 
• Would that duvet cover be too much for a newbie?
• What is a good beginners sewing machine? I don't want anything too expensive or to fancy.

Any Suggestions?

Lovely Reclaimed Fabric & My Sewing Project

I can't sew.

I wish I could.

I am going to learn.

{wouldn't it be more fun to learn with this machine?}

The weird part is everytime I see really cute fabric, especially vintage/vintage inpsired fabric I am drawn to it...it just pulls me in & I have no idea why. It is not like I can make anything with it! I have a big bag full of fabric in my closet just waiting on me to actually use it! It is like I was a really, really good sewer in a previous life or something!

So...when I found this lovely fabric from whimesydots I HAD to have it! I have been looking for some seriously cute vintage fabric to make pillowcases for my daughter. (I am redoing her room now that she is in a twin bed) And this reclaimed vintage fabric totally fit the bill!

Now all I have to do is rope someone into helping me make these super cute pillowcases!!

I will keep you posted on that! ;)
