Since returning to sewing, I realized I needed not only to stock up on fabrics and patterns but also on the little things like..Buttons! The other day I walked back my favourite thrift shop. I found small tea lite containers filled with buttons. They were clever and had sorted them by colour. I brought some home and had fun sorting them out. I like the real old fashioned ones. I especially love that red one in the middle!
I have discovered a great Canadian online store, Warp & Weft. The wonderful owner, Esmari, always does a lovely job packaging the goodies.
W & W is my Canadian source for M & M (Merchant & Mills). Did you notice that, Esmari? Cute!
I purchased some fabrics. The daisy and the polka dots are from Merchant & Mills) and the blue and orange voile is from the Bromley Collection by Victoria & Albert museum for Rowan fabric.
Yum. Go visit Warp & Weft. She's got some lovely things on sale!
Tomorrow I am taking my Pfaff serger to the serger doctor again. Any advice on sergers? I am having a lot of problems with the thread tension.
Happy Sewing! (p.s. I made 3 posts today so be sure you see them all!)
Hahaha! I did notice that! I always have to be very careful when writing something that has both M&M and W&W in it so I don't get them mixed up. I love how they roll off the tongue!
