A couple of weeks back I volunteered at
Fabric-a-brac - If you have been following my blog for a while, you will know how much I LOVE fabric-a-brac! I'm even included in one of their blog posts
here.
My friend
Kat is one of the organisers of the event, when she did another shout out to see if any of the Wellington Sewing Bloggers Network girls would like to volunteer at the event this time around I put up my hand again. Last time I helped out on the Hospice stall and this time I was helping out in the cafe - serving up the treats and tea.
The cafe was very cute and homely - part of my job was to take cups of teas and treats out to people on a tray. I even wore an apron - I look almost domestic! I even wore a dress made from fabric that I bought from a previous fabric-a-brac.
This photo is from the fabric-a-brac facebook page.
This time around my main scores were sweet patterns from the 1960's - as you guys know, I'm all about the 1960s.
I also bought some fabric, my most
recent laurel dress is from the purple fabric I bought at fabric-a-brac and I still have leftover fabric. What else should I make?
Finally how exciting is fabric-a-brac for sewing geeks? This photo really says it ALL! This is another photo from the
fabric a brac facebook page - that's Kat on the left, me in the middle (DUH!) and
Nikki on the right. All Wellington Sewing Blogger Network girls (of course!).

Fabric-a-brac sounds amazing. I love that first Maudella pattern. I'm super into the 60s space uniform type dresses. I can't wait to see what you make with the patterns and fabric you got.
You look so darling in your apron! And I love all the fabric you bought. I'm a floral girl at heart. :)

Haha, that last photo is hilarious! I believe that was the moment we spotted tiny birds or elephants or something in the fabric?
So many lovely pretties, it's hard to know where to start! The fabric for your laurel is so lovely, the colours are fab. Fabric a brac is certainly the place to go.
