One thing I love to do is to make piles of fabrics. I love the way they look together all piled up. This week I had to take some photos for an upcoming article in the new magazine 'Sew'. Here are those plus a few more that I found in my archives. Delicious!

What fun, all that folding - and such an important job that takes precedence over all others!

fabulous, fantastic, flowery, flirtatious fibre folding!
Oh scrummy! And all so beautifully pressed and neat! I always tell myself that the reason my piles never quite look this neat is because of all the awkward to fold shapes of vintage and recycled fabric - now you have put me to shame! t.x
So pretty - I love them all! This would make a fabulous postcard, ooooooo, no wait - wallpaper!! How glorious a whole wall of this would be. Katie x
I'm so glad I have found someone else who enjoys the sheer beauty of neat piles of fabric. I have just found your link through Bobo Bun where I recently left a comment about the glass fronted cabinets we used to buy our pink socks from. It's so lovely to see similar cabinets on your shop photos. I remember peering through the glass at those special socks, everything was very calm and orderly. It's nice to see them again.

Fabrics are so hard to resist I think I actually like looking through them more than I like making things with the stuff.
A life without fabric would be a sad one, wouldn't it Donna? I couldn't imagine not having pretty fabrics to drool over, to stroke now and then, and to take photos of! A simple pleasure, but us fabricaholics are easily pleased, are we not?!...I'm off to study each tiny glimpse of all yours in the photos now...
Have a happy week,

Hi Donna,
Was so nice to meet you too. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day and would love to join you both the next time you have a little day out down this way x
Hi Donna, lovely picture and it would make a great card, you could add a range of greetings cards to your stock! Thanks for the birthday wishes, fab weekend despite very british weather and yes I do sew, some coming soon on Hand and I and as soon as I have a valid excuse for some more sewing projects I will come on a shopping trip to you!
