I received THE MOST beautiful fabric in the post today from Sew me a Song. Now, I'm not a girlie-girl as many of you know but for some reason this very pretty and feminine fabric 'spoke' to me so I had to have it!! Could be the art-like and collage style that appeals... there is just something about the panel that I adore. The yummy natural colours and the text...I love it all. Oh and I got the co-ordinating fabrics too [I spoiled myself].
