In the post.

After months of lurking around the Shaukat website, I finally made my first fabric purchase!

Well, several fabric purchases...

You see, this website has a flat rate for shipping to Australia of up to 8 meters of fabric. So, I figured I may as well get my moneys worth and make use of the entire 8 meter allowance! So I have been saving my pennies and this is whats now coming my way...

2 meters of 'Mauverina' in navy blue to make the Vogue V8184 dress.


2 meters of 'Ceaser' in dark blue to make the Vogue V8184 dress.


2.7 meters of 'Claie-Aude' in red to make a blouse and a skirt.


1.3 meters of 'Wiltshire' in red to make ... ?
I especially like this pattern because my Mum was born in Wiltshire...

Exactly 8 meters of beautiful fabric in the post. I can't wait to get my hands (and scissors) onto it!

  6. Gorgeous! I had a fat quarter of the 'ceaser' in my quilt and i love it. (And everyone that looks at the pieces points it out as a really nice one, so at least i know it was worth the money)

    I got your lovely comment on my blog, thankyou. I can't wait to see what you make with all of your liberty too.
