Howdy weekend peeps! As promised, and against the wishes of like EVERY APPLE DEVICE I OWN, I've got some YouTube fun for you. At least, Rob pronounced it fun, and I figure if *he's* smiling at a fabric haul video, my sewsisters, sewmisters, and Sewasaurus Rexes might too.
In this yardage romp, I'm highlighting three Black owned, women owned, small businesses for you--I've "met" all these humans through the wondrous fabric of our sewing community, and truly consider each one a friend. If you don't already know about them, you're in for all kinds of goodness. I was in for extra goodness when a birthday box of MORE fabric arrived during the video, from my technicolor parents 💕
Oh. Did I mention? As my hair adornment suggests, it's my birthday. Well, my upside-down birthday, as I have proclaimed the 9th to be. Birthday Actual on the 6th was lovely, but also: Apple device nonsense. So I get more birthday. This will surprise no one.
Hope your Sunday is giving you nothing but happiness, and if not...hope this gives you a smile.
Now c'mon be honest...you know you celebrate your birthday ALL.MONTH.LONG! Glad it's been filled so far with fabric goodness and love!
ReplyDeleteyou KNOW IT! It's just easier to claim all of August 💕
DeleteHappy birthday Marcy, i'm a leo too:) , just watched the video and love all those fabrics and you talking about those.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday month to you!! So glad you liked my ramblings 😁
DeleteWhat a lovely haul of fabrics. There seems to be a lot of us sewists with birthdays around the same time. Mine was last week. Got the last bit of cash which enabled me to buy a new machine whoop! Enjoy your birthday celebrations
ReplyDeleteWOOOOT NEW MACHINE!!! What did you get?
DeleteI have a theory...maybe there are a lot of sewists with August birthdays, because summer babies tend to be the loudest....I’m certainly guilty as charged 😂
Ohmygosh! So much gorgeous fabric. The pinks are my favorites. I think I need to go shopping. (No you don't, Lynn; you really don't) House of Mami Wata is one of my Etsy favorites. I have bought fabric from her... once? twice? I can't remember for certain.
ReplyDeleteI believe you alerted me to her presence years ago! Or was it me? I think it was you! She has a stand-alone website now too (and yes, you need some more 😉)
DeleteHappy birthday! Amazing stash and stunning dress too. Self drafted or pattern?
ReplyDeleteAnother self drafted! I’ve had multiple requests to produce this one, just gotta figure out *how*...

DeleteYou're just too good! Thank you for sharing all the fabric joy though, and a belated happy birthday :)
ReplyDeleteoh dear, struggling to comment as myself in the right place, but my previous comment was meant to reply to your reply! I'm going to go study my fabric stash instead of doing messy commenting (shakes head in despair) x
Delete😅I do it all the time! Hope you found something magical in your stash 💗
