| Sari fabric - shhhhh don't tell the small people that I was standing on the dining table |
This week is turning into another where I am longingly looking at beautiful piles of fabric that I'm not getting a chance to play with. My lovely friend Arni has just given me some gorgeous sari fabric - from a recent trip she made to visit family in Calcutta I have 5.5 metres but really no idea, so far, what to do with it. All suggestions welcome!
At this time of year our Sundays are very full - we're in the middle of mini rugby tournament season - and the tournaments tend to go on for hours. It was our home club tournament at the weekend, with both boys playing, Islay training and Katie all over the place! John was on first aid duty all day and I was on tuck shop duty for some time too (note:: toddlers and low tables filled with home-baking don't mix too well). Only another couple of weeks to go and then we have Sundays free until after the summer. Phew.
The photos below remind me that it really is fun, and that the children love it. Not the best shots unfortunately as I don't want to show any with clear photos of other people's children.

Thats quite a commitment! Kids look like they're really enjoying it though, even Katie!
You have some great fabric there Julie, the sari fabric is lovely, I would make a nice tunic style top to pop on over jeans ? Maria x
The sari fabric is gorgeous - don't think I could bear to take scissors to it though.
Hi Julie! What a fabulous stash of fabric...I've had to really pull in my love of stock piling as I never seem to make anything.

The Haribo is obviously the perfect energy boost, but a little worried that #2 is playing with the wrong shaped ball ;o)
The kids like they are having un, lovely fabric.
I love seeing other people's fabric stashes! You have some gorgeous fabric there looking forward to seeing what you make with it. Your children look like they had a great time at the tournament. Julie x
Half the joy is catching sight of fabric waiting in the queue to be made. (Problem is if it stays there too long.Ahem.) Beautiful fabric. I've no suggestions for the sari fabric, other than enjoy it!
It's great when you get a wee break from all the extra activities, innit? One reason why the holidays are awesome!
Looks like the Rugby tournaments are good fun for your little ones Julie :) I can imagine the Sari fabric helping to make one of your quilts! Its lovely...all those piles of fabric look great, hope you get some time to enjoy using them! your not alone, I am working all week then going to Devon every weekend so can't even blog at the mo, hope life gets less hectic eventually!
