Uninspired

I have all day to sew today but I'm feeling uninspired. I want to sew a new bag and I have a style in mind but it's not turning out the way I want it. It looks really good in my head though!

Since I'm avoiding the sewing machine, I have been looking at some new fabric lines coming out. I have to say I was a little disappointed with the Amy Butler Midwest Modern line. It's pretty but I think it's my least favourite of all her fabrics. I have some bags and wallets made out of this fabric but I'm still unsure of whether I'm going to reorder this fabric or not.

What I did come across is the new Joel Dewberry Home Dec line Ginseng (http://www.joeldewberry.com/GinsengIndex.html) and I am very patiently waiting to order it. I especially love the spice selections. The new bags in my head would look very nice in this fabric.


I also love Denise Schmidt's County Fair which is new colours from the Flea Market Fancy line which is one of my favourites. I think I want to make some cute little summer tops and dresses for my niece in these prints.


Last but not least, I also have my eye on Sandi Henderson's Farmers Market. I love the colourful prints, especially the little apple print.
