Fabulous Flowery Fabric

I got a fresh delivery of vintage fabric from America. Oooh I love it when the package drops through the letter box as I never really know what treasures are inside. I get most of my fabric from America through ebay and I buy bundles of off-cuts so i don't really know what all the pieces will look like until they arrive. There are usually a few duff ones with funny patterns or colours (I'm not sure many people would want a picture made of brown and orange flower print or lime green check, hmmmm) But there are usually a few gems buried inside the folds of cotton. 

I discovered a gorgeous piece of 1940's or 50's fabric as i was about to start a new commission for a little girls name. It was just big enough to fit so it was perfect. It was my first commission through this blog (how exciting!!!) so i was keen to find just the right unique piece. I hope the little girl likes it.

I've also been experimenting with darker card backgrounds which work well with lighter fabric or with fabric with a white background colour. Here is a 'Bronte' I made a few weeks ago.
