Fabric from Amsterdam....

Ive been fabric shopping again only this time I went to Amsterdam to do it.   There are dozens of shops that sell rolls and rolls of different fabrics (the piccie below is only a small part of the shop) so I was  like a kid in a sweetie shop for most of my stay!!


I couldnt buy everything so I narrowed it down to around 10 different fabrics (had I been able to fit more in my weekend bag I would have!!)

So here is just some of what I bought (too many to post them all!)  Im not sure what to make with it yet but any ideas welcome.  (Im sure there will be a bag or 3 produced somewhere along the line.)  Most of it is cotton apart from the patterned stuff with the love hearts which is cord and the black stuff with the russian dolls is oilcloth which Im going to make some make up bags with - I think its really cute.  All I need now is time!  xxx

    Oh wow, heaven!! Those are fab choices, I see bags, bags and more bags. Keep your off cuts and make some hexies and you can get a fab cushion cover made from all of them at once!

    I think I need to go to Amsterdam... Is the fabric cheap? Is the shop in the city?

    What wonderful fabric, I will have to try and visit Amsterdam (soon methinks!). Whilst I'm here, I just want to say a friendly 'hi' from a newbie to the blogging world!
