We ventured to the other side of town this week to check out CERES, and GJ's Fabrics, since it was right around the corner. Loved CERES! Is there anything like it in the South East/Bayside area of Melbourne?
I scored some of my favourite fabric at GJ's - Heather Ross's goldfish. $8 per metre. Bargain. I only wish I had been paid by work the day I was there (they failed to pay me - and I'm still waiting!!!!). I would have bought much more.
Anyhoo, one and a half metres was plenty enough to make some library bags for the Mother's Group kidlets. They are simple totes, fully lined, with the child's first initial machine appliqued on the front in a contrasting fabric.
I'll pop down to the shops if I ever get paid to get a book for each for the bags.In the meantime, on to the next lot of xmas presents!

I hope you get paid very soon - lack of funds has serious crafting consequences!
I love the bags. That Heather Ross print is really fun and the applique looks great. Lucky kidlets!
What a lovely gift for your mother's group kidlets - what a lucky bunch.
I agree that material is very sweet indeed - good find!
I love that fabric too! I got a teeny tiny square of it in a scrap pack and have been pining for some more ever since. Great idea on the library bags! They look great
