Funny Little Prints for Sasha, Gregor and the gang!!

My name is Marti and I am a fabric addict.....  

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!!

  2. Wow Marti! That is about all I can say at the moment... I especially love the music prints, but they are all fabulous prints and will make some great fun outfits.

  3. You've got an eye for fabric! My grandmother adored fabric. When she went in a fabric shop, she was like a kid in a candy store.

  4. I know the feeling - every opportunity to find fabric even if we already have a stash of it is irresistible. You've got quite an impressive collection of novelty prints but I'm sure there is room for me!

  6. Oh my Marty, what a great stash of prints with wonderful variety! I have a huge stash of fabric, too, although a bit more on the conservative side. It is impossible for me to resist buying fabric even when I know I have more than I'll ever use!

  7. Love your stash !!! It's really hard to find small prints here in the USA. I walked through a Fabric/Quilt shop last week and only had one bolt of a fall print calling "SASHA". But knowing what I all ready have,I said "no".

  8. I like flower prints mostly, but I bought some with a Russian doll print on a navy background that I have yet to decide what to make with it. I've only been doing my Sasha blog since March :)
