My name is Carly and I have an addiction….

Having fabric in plastic boxes just wasn’t working for me. The fabric I wanted was always at the bottom of the box! So when I saw that a lot of others on a sewing forum on used bookcases to store their fabric…  I turned our spare room bookcase into the above.

My first thought as I stood back admiring my stash was that there is plenty of space for more fabric!

It seems like this setup will only be temporary as my wondeful supportive Andrew suggested we get a bigger storage solution to put in the dining/lounge room. Ikea here we come!

This dress has been in production for a while. It is for baby immogen who arrived in February. The style is the same one that I made for Rubielee.

The rickrack and the ruffles take forever! but the effect is worth it in the end.

This little dress is for Lizzy.
I’ve had the design in my head for a while now, but needed to find the appropriate ribbon and then find some time to sew it.

It is my first try at ruffles, and it turned out very well in my opinion. This is the practice run for some very ruffly dresses in the works.
