Retro Teatime Fabrics










I love these pretty and colorful retro fabrics used to make the lovely handmade items sold at NeverEver, an Etsy store. If only I knew how to sew (shoot!). I would be a nut on the sewing machine (a pink sewing machine, preferably) making pillows, aprons, quilts, tea towels, little girl dresses, handbags - you name it! Take a look at more retro lovely fabrics from NeverEver.

Cath Kidston









The above photos show some of the fabulous fabrics available at cathkidston.co.uk.

I love this trench coat! Cute!

I have this book. The photos are so colorful that they jump off the pages!

I really want this book, but I don't want to pay to have it shipped from the UK, so I'm waiting for it to go on sale in the States.













This is a radio - how sweet!



Cath Kidston's company, Cath Kidston Ltd. is known for its textile prints (particularly floral designs) but also sells a wide range of items for the home and also for children. With a riot of florals, polka dots, stars and stripes adorning everything from wellies, washbags, aprons, pillows, mugs, tablecloths and ironing-board covers to tea dresses, Kidston transports you to the typically English country setting of her childhood in the UK. Shown are some of the wonderful things I found on her website, cathkidston.co.uk.

Vintage Fabrics








Vintage fabrics have such beautiful and vibrant prints and patterns! They would look great not only on the bed, but also on the table and on the windows. If I could sew, I would use these fabrics to make dresses, skirts, jackets, pillows, tote bags, handbags, aprons, tablecloths and so on and so on! I think I need to take a sewing class!
