Okay, first things first: remember that tomorrow's your last day to get 10% off at
Gorgeous Fabrics. The details:
"For the month of September, Gertie’s readers get 10% off any full-price fabric in the Coatings, Woolens and Oo La La categories at Gorgeous Fabrics. Just enter the coupon code GERTIE at checkout and we’ll deduct 10% from any of those fabrics!"
So if you haven't bought your Lady Grey fabric yet, now's the time! (Speaking of which, how's the cutting out going, Sew-Alongers?)
Secondly, from the Department of Random, have you all read Beatrix Potter's
The Tailor of Gloucester? A few of you have brought it up when we were discussing Cinderella's sewing mice recently. I searched it out online, and goodness! It's a delightful little read. Do yourself a favor and head over to
Project Gutenberg where you can read the whole thing online, charming illustrations included.
Have a lovely evening!

ReplyDeleteStevie, thanks for the shout-out!
We read the Tailor of Gloucester aloud every Christmas Eve...I just love those gorgeous fabrics...and of course, the cherry colored twist!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and am excited! I am an avid seamstress, but sew mostly in 1/6 scale! Here is my website, if you are interested.

Aww, Beatrix Potter! I loved her growing up and I was big fan of the Tailor of Gloucester! I also loved the clothes the mice made... *happy, nostalgic sigh*
ReplyDelete(By the way, I'm not a sewer and have never made anything, but your blog makes me want to go out and get a sewing machine and start making cute dresses, too!)
