Swap

On Wednesday, I received the awesomest package in the mail. Harmony of Harmony Art and I did a trade and I was the recipient of an amazing fabric grab bag! I’ve been drooling over the scraps and dreaming up all kinds of projects. The whole experience makes me feel as if Spring has sprung early!
Now comes the mustering of the courage to cut any of it. Is anyone else like that? When they get their hands on beautiful fabric, it takes forever to make a decision as to what to do with it? I had the Whispering Grass print for ages before I finally made my mind up on the Marian Dress and the Lucy Jumper.

The Lucy Jumper

I finally got around to taking pictures of the jumper I made. I’m dubbing it the Lucy Jumper because it’s oh-so-cute. Like the Lisa Dress, it’s from a vintage pattern and too small for me, otherwise I’d keep it in a heartbeat. It’s made from Harmony Art organic cotton fabric. I highly recommend trying out this fabric. (I got mine via Near Sea Naturals.) The quality is great and the designs are beautiful. I think a lot of people still think organic fabrics are made of bark and only available in really bland, boring colors and patterns. (I kind of did at first…) Not these fabrics. They help break the stigma and prove that organic can be very hip. (Paired with a pair of Simple’s Flats and you’d really be proving green is hip.)

I have another dress in the works from this material. (It’s double width so you get your money’s worth.) And some zip pouches and other smaller projects planned for the scraps. And I’m thinking of the Lisa Dress in the black and white version. And a dress for myself in this gorgeous shade of green. Oh I could go on and on…
