Fabric is, don't you know:
That's the Japanese Liberty print I bought in Tokyo, oh, lo these many weeks ago. (If you hadn't noticed, I got a bit behind on blogging there before Christmas … sorry about that.) I bought it at the same place I went to back in 2008 — so glad it was still there!
It took me a while to choose this — I really wanted something dark, but of course all the spring prints were calling to me. I should have taken pictures of the runners-up, but they were mostly dark ditsy florals. This one has a little more heft to it, and the olive color is just gorgeous. Here, have a closer look:
Not quite sure what this will be yet, but Vogue 8728 is a strong contender …

Positively gorgeous! I can’t wait to see what it becomes.
That could work well especially with the gathers.
This fabric would look amazing in that Vogue pattern!
I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
How wonderful that you got to go back to Tokyo! That street is a fabric lovers dream, I went on sensory overload with all the fabric stores there. What struck me was odd was the lack of sewing patterns in Japanese, or English in their sewing stores.
Oooooo! I love it!
Oddly enough, I was in a HUGE New York City fabric store a few days ago… and maybe I shouldn’t tell you this… that same Liberty print is there! I recognized it immediately, after seeing this post. Has a wonderful, soft hand. Just lovely.
Ooh, that makes me happy! Because now if I cut into this and need a half yard more I just have to make it to NYC, not Tokyo.
