Most of my polka dot stash was purchased on clearance at JoAnn Fabrics with the exception of the black and white rayon challis which I have had for so long that I don't recall the purchase....side bar - I must have had a love affair with rayon challis at some point - there's quite a bit of it in my stash!!!...and the navy/white - red/white cotton blend both of which were purchased (within the last year or so) at Wal-Mart.
While it's not in my immediate plans to purchase any more polka dot fabric, if and when the opportunity arises, I'll have something relevant to consider...what I'm already stashin'!
How much (what kind of) polka dot fabric you (are you) stashin'?

Until next time...PEACE AND BLESSINGS!
Love all your polka dots. I like to stash stripes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori! I hear ya! Although I like stripes, I don't have much in my stash....I may have to do something about that!
DeleteLOL! This is so funny because I have this love affair with polka dots, too. My stash is full of the 'dotted' stuff and I've been sewing it up just haven't had time to post. Btw, your garments are lovely! The dot on dot is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda! You must post...I'm excited to see!
DeleteI love polka dots as well - I only wear little ones though. I've got a small bit of black and white, lots of navy and white, and some multicolour polka dots on cream. Not sure why I have the last one, except it's polka dots, and I can't resist them either.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I think that navy and white is my all time fave but the jury is still out on that one.
DeleteYour garments truly make a statement with the dots. I just don't think I could pull it off myself. I think I only have two pieces of fabric that have polka dots.
ReplyDeleteThanks L! I feel you...but since you have them...
DeleteI love your polka dot stash.. I LOVE dots too.. and have lots of it.. I honestly have so much, I don't know what's in there??? lol I know I have several cotton polka dots, that I use for the kids or for blouses..
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing.
Thanks Maw! I figure this was a good time to take inventory. Sounds like you've got quite a bit yourself. Perhaps one day well see it! Take care!
DeleteLov'n the polka dots! I have 1 1/2 yards of an ITY knit that is white with big black polka dots...similar to your white with big red polka dots. Mine is going to be a skirt. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Judi. Sounds divine. Nothing like a cute skirt to showcase your dots!
ReplyDeleteWow, I absolutely love it. Love Your hair, style, look :) I am in love with girlish stuff too. Hope You'll get va chance to see my blog too... I will follow You now, stay in touch sweetie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Hummingbird Girl!
DeleteYou have great fabrics in your collection and having all of that rayon challis will come in handy since it's coming back! Me, I collect everything but you know that already don't you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn! Rayon challis has a great feel to it! If you say it's coming back...it's coming back! Yes...yes I do believe I knew that about you! Take care!
DeleteI love your polka dots! Thinking about my stash, the fabrics I am most attracted to you are ones with texture.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela! I know what you mean...texture is everything!
DeleteWhere do you find your fabrics? I'm looking for a black and white polka dot in cotton knit/jersey knit fabric! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Architect! Thanks for stopping by. I buy most of my fabric at JoAnn Fabrics. Really it's the only fabric store in my immediate area. Be sure to check the clearance fabrics - sometimes the selection is better there than on the on the sales floor. My second source would be Fashion Fabrics Club. I'm sure there are more online sources but I've not experienced them. Hope this helps!
