While I was in Mexico, I purchased some of the "Meximerican style" Garments…

The cut is super, the fabric is great but it needed oomph… so at 4.00 this morning I was out embellishing one of  the tops.

I used Thai silk patches and to balance the color, a little black and white spot stripe on the front and one on the back…. it's a bit like creating a quilt on your clothes….

I also have a super white top that I'm going to  illustrate on….

and I sewed the label for my camera bag….I always laminate it and it  gets bent with handling, so now it's quilted to hold it firm.

I manged to get lots of kits cut this morning as well and now I have the rest of the day free….

Sadly we have a funeral to attend.

I also purchased Ikea fabric yesterday… I love it and I managed to get 11 metres for $22 of the most beautiful fine cotton for the backs of quilts or for samples… (they have a sale on right now.)

It's very wide and just lovely to work with.
