My first post!

Hello to everyone!

I am very excited to be starting my new blog!

I have seen a pattern for a lovely handbag made out of flowery velvet so I bought some velvet fabric the other day to have a go!

Trouble is though that I need some co-ordinating fabric to use for the lining, so I'm off to have a browse.  I know that the best way to buy fabric is with your hands so you can feel the texture, weight and be sure you have a colour match, but there's not loads of fabric shops in the nearby area so sometimes I have to buy on-line.

I actually find buying fabric on-line a bit like a lucky-dip at the fair.  You are not 100% sure what you'll be getting but you might be in for a big surprise!

I'll let you know how I get on.
