I have looked for it since, but had pretty much completely given up hope of ever finding it - until tonight. Just by chance I clicked through to the Cotton & Cloud blog because there was a very cute lunch tote from there featured on Whip Up and I wanted the pattern. It was late and I was a bit bored so I thought I'd check out the Cotton & Cloud shop and oh I can't say how glad I am that I did! Because there, in all its glory, was as much as Blossom as I could afford (not a lot given the NZ dollar), in all the colourways AND ON SALE. I literally almost fell over. Or off my chair as the case may be. So I now I have some of the pink winging its way to me from half a world away and I'm stoked. Of course I have no idea what I'll make with it - but I'm going to force myself to do something because I'm damned if I'll hoard it and never use it for fear of ruining it or getting it wrong. I've guarded my 20cm strip with a fierce devotion but now I can make a couple little things out of it without fear! Whee!
I'd love to hear of anyone else's longed-for but unavailable fabrics :)
The colour's a bit faded in this photo, but it shows the detail nicely.
Glad to know you are still in the land of the living and thinking about important things! Fabric-wise, I still have the faded remnants of a twenty year old liberty print that I used for a pleated singlet top and wore to death over many summers. It has a deep purple background with a small flower detail and was and is my all time favourite. I think it must be discontinued as I have never found it again.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric looks like it would make a great skirt, curtains, lampshade, bag... Let's face it. It's great fabric! I'm glad you found what you've been looking for!
ReplyDeleteOh that's so cool, isn't it great to find what you want! Hey I saw your interview over at Meet me at Mikes! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI had a FQ of that fabric in an orange colour way. I used it for a small bag (that I've never finished). Gorgeous fabric.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I don't have any favourite fabric, I'm pretty easy when it comes to fabric :-)
Oh yes, that is a lovely fabric. I love the Swell Range by Moda, but I didn't realise they discontinue collections ever season so now I can't get any! boo. x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who has treasured fabrics! One of the reasons I have the Flea Market Fancy button over there on the right is because I bought some purely because I liked the fabric (the blue version of the pink in that button), then belatedly realised it was a very popular line, then even more belatedly realised that it was out of print and very hard to get ahold of! Now it's impossible at prices I'd pay so I'll just hope the petition works :)
