Originals...

After the madness of the #greatukfabricdestash this time last week, the calm normality of instagram returned, and on Monday afternoon, I bagsied some Flea Market Fancy from sweet friend Aneela.

Not just any old FMF, proper old FMF, you know, the fabric from before I was born; well, before I got embroiled in this mad crazy obsession...


I had obviously heard tales of this line's magical powers, and had gone bonkers over the reprint, pre-ordering the lot, but had been dissatisfied with a single hexie of the original until this weekend.

I knew the originals were meant to be more delicate, and they really are.  The red print at the back is a legacy cut, but the one in front is an original, the picture is shocking, so I don't know why I bothered to point it out, but in real life they look very different to my trained fabrician's eyes!

So I am a happy bunny, and even more so, as dear hubby treated me to these after a few days away in Aberdeen last weekend xxx

  6. I always fancied some FMF too - but got sidetracked by batiks instead! Love this bundle that you have, though.
