Cath Kidston® Signature Collection projects

 

Riley Blake Designs sent me the most delightful fabric collection! Cath Kidston® Signature Collection.

Her is a little recap from the Riley Blake website

 "From London-inspired icons to her faithful Lakeland Terrier, Stanley, every print and button spot reflects Cath’s unmistakable blend of whimsy and heritage. Classic, colorful, and effortlessly charming; this collection is a true celebration of everyday joy, the Cath Kidston way."

I decided to make projects that let the prints shine.  The Ruffle purse uses the Signature Stripe fabric in Blue with a Blue Button Dot ruffle.  It is so cheery it makes me smile : )

This purse is a prototype and it will become a pattern in the near future!

 

I also made my Gathered Zipper Pouch! The sweet floral is the Arlington Ditsy and I used the Button Dot in Pink for the border.

 

The opposite side features the Icon print which has the most adorable motifs!

You can find the Gathered Curvy Pouch Trio pattern in my Etsy shop [HERE]

I have loved  Cath Kidston's style for years and had the pleasure of visiting her shop in London in 2014!

It was such a magical shop! I was so lucky to have the chance to visit!

Here are my purchases from the shop!  I loved the polka dot shoes and wore them out : )

Happy Sewing!

Barbie Vintage Fabric Girly Projects : )

 

Today I'm sharing my latest projects with the new line of Barbie licensed fabric – Barbie Vintage! I love Barbie fabric so much! My first sewing projects were clothes for my Barbie dolls so Barbie has a special place in my heart!

This fabric line is sweet and girly, so I opted for some very feminine projects. The first is this adorable purse, The Sac Croissant, designed by Manon. I absolutely love this bag! Manon has lots of videos on her Instagram which are very helpful when sewing up the bag. You can find her on Instagram @manonl.delahaute. There is also a version for a bow tied strap which is super cute!

Sac Croissant Pattern

Of course I had to make a coordinating zipper pouch for my Sac Croissant! I opted for a Gathered Zipper Pouch which is a perfect pattern if you would like to high light a fussy cut motif! The gathered border adds a feminine touch, which is perfect for this fabric.
