Here is a shot of my fourth logcabin pouch in progress. ;) The very first logcabin pouch that flew to my sister's in Japan. Second one as a custom order that also flew to Japan. And this third one that has recently left for Australia. Logcabins are so much fun. There is something about a logcabin that is so interesting, happy, and entertaining. I love working on it. I smile seeing my logabin getting larger and fancier as I work through. Fun! My favorite kinds of fabric changes often. I was once really into traditional Japanese fabric and collected a bunch but soon lost much interest in it, (which I now really don't know what to do with besides keeping in the stash in a drawer..) Once I was in love with some modern designers' fabrics and again collected a lot. My point here is that my current passion has been toward vintage fabrics!!!! When I start liking something, I go as far as I can. Nonstop! This beautiful vintage fabric is what I purchased from Magpie Mary in her etsy shop. This awesome seller carries very pretty vintage items for affordable prices. If you like this fabric I just bought, go ahead and grab some for yourself , otherwise I might go back and buy all up! Here is one of my recent thrifted fabrics. I've been thrifting as usual and making my thrifted goodies go out of control a little. Isn't this pink fabric pretty though?! Not sure if it's vintage or what, but this can make a nice bag, I bet. When I caught a glimpse of this purse, I almost gasped. "Are you for real? New Amy Butler's purse at this thrift store?!" As soon as I grabbed it, someone walked by and told me that I was so lucky to find it. No kidding! Even though I am usually not interested in purses at secondhand stores (because I can make them), I could tell it was such a great find and there was no question whatsoever I was getting it. It will be for my middle sister. She loves girlie things like this;) The last showoff here for today is this super duper cute paper! The direction says it is to place in drawers because it's repellent against bugs like ants, roaches, and silver fish. I'd never heard any paper that could do that! Oh my! I just thought this vintage design is so cute. Time to introduce nice creations!! Fabric Basket by …Pensieri… Fabric Basket by Jodi Camera Case by Elizabeth Cute Cute Cute!!

All gorgeous! I love your log cabin pouches. I'm a huge fan of vintage fabrics too. I've gone through short love affairs with other fabrics too, but just keep going back to vintage.
ReplyDeleteI really think you make the most beautiful things. You've inspired me to try a log cabin. If it makes you that happy perhaps it will do the same for me!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a great find with the Amy purse! I love the way you put fabrics together in your log cabin projects. Such fun. And oh how I LOVE the vintage bird/cage paper. My fabric taste evolves too...otherwise I think we'd get bored working with the same stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love that Amy Butler purse! So cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd your logcabins are always so fun!
I would never think to put all those very different fabrics together, but they WORK! And I LOVE these pouches... if one ends up in your Etsy shop I may not be able to resist...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the basket tutorial, it was very helpful, and the basket was so easy to make. You can check what I created with your help on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are soo inspirational. I love log cabin. Your fabrics are fabulous. I have to tell everyone about your blog.

Thanks!! I know the purse is a great find! Yeah, I guess changing fabric taste might be required to keep us constantly enjoy sewing!
