The event consists of a whole lot of stall holders selling fabric, patterns, notions and all things sewing related. The stalls sell second hand stuff - some things are vintage and some are contemporary and you can find some really amazing things.
Here's my haul for the day - that fabric in the background is blue snakeskin! I think I will make some kind of high waisted pencil skirt with it. I really LOVE this pattern, its a little small but as its pretty basic Ria is going to help me make it a little bigger. I bought the buttons especially to go with the dress I am going to make with the pattern, its going to be a kind of black and white theme. Finally the stuff that looks like skull and crossbones bias binding is actually elastic so you can use it on stretch or non-stretch fabrics.

I also just wanted to share this song, because I love it at the moment!
