As I’ve said before, teaching is perfect for clean slates and fresh starts, but there is a definite danger of living your life as a constant countdown; to the next holiday, new term or any notable event. This approach meant that whilst enjoying the Welsh sunshine, I was collecting ideas for Christmas crafting.
One problem: no Christmas print fabric! I began filling my eBay basket with fat quarters – a relatively inexpensive way of purchasing a selection of different fabrics. Today, towards the end of August, they arrived.
Tasteful Scandinavian prints:
Traditional festive designs:
And finally, my favourites for their Canadian quality, although they are in need of an iron. Cardinals and blue jays. Beautiful.
Clearly buying fabric makes me happy. At £1.65 per FQ this batch wasn’t as much of a splurge as the one earlier this week, but I think I really need to start making to justify all of my investment. I’ve found a Christmas stocking design I like but would welcome any other suggestions for festive projects using smaller pieces of material.

They’re really convincing and can certainly work.
Still, the posts are very brief for newbies.
May you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
