For the sewing room I got two new cutting mats! My old one was small and started to get seriously worn out. I bought it cheap, just to test if this was a method of cutting out that would appeal to me. And for cutting out jersey and fine fabrics, I totally adore it! So now it was time to upgrade =)
They're identical, with one light grey side and one black, both with cm gridnet.
Next item is sort of also for the sewing room; a new bolt of toile fabric.
The bolt I got two years ago is almost used up, and as we were anyway driving by Ikea... Now - hopefully - I'm good for another two years.
Toile fabric is handy, but this is Fun:
Organic Bamboo jersey for two tops. This fabric is soooo soft, I can't wait to wear these tops!
For grand finale; interlocked wool. What, it doesn't look like much? =) Nope, but it's wonderful to touch, it drapes beautifully and I've been thinking about this fabric for TWO YEARS. It's the most I've ever paid per meter, so although I knew straight away that I wanted the fabric, I really wanted to be totally sure of what I'd make and how much I'd need.
Here you can see the structure of the fabric, but the colour in the previous picture os more true to reality.
Luck favored me, and it was obviously about time I got around to buying it, as I managed to get the last 2,5 meters. Perfect!
Ok, I'm off to the sewing table. I've got new toys to play with =)
Love, Erika

Have fun with your new cutting mats. I also use Ditte as toile fabric :)
IT's good to have a few meters of toile fabric. IT really annoys me that if I want to start a new sewing project i first need to buy toile fabric.
