Anyone who sews can relate as we all have too much fabric! Although I sew with vintage fabrics a lot, it doesn't stop me from shopping for new fabrics, too. One type is can't resist is called "novelties" in the quilting community.
Finding novelties for Sasha is a bit trickier than you might think. There are 2 issues to think about:
1. the design is the right size (often they are just a tad too big)
2. the design is close enough together (otherwise, you are going to have one car on the front of the shirt, lol!)
I took pictures of all my novelty prints I had at the time (2013) I have acquired (ahem) a 'few' more, since!
I am posting this so you can see what is available in case your kids NEED a new shirt, dress, etc. in a fun print!!
