When I was at Sew Expo, I found some super fun Echino fabric at the Pacific Fabric & Crafts booth. I love this Japanese fabric by Etsuko Furuya, it is always so inspiring for me. Last year I put some Echino fabric on my Amy Butler's Birdie Swing Bag. I LOVE it when a vibrant fabric inspires me to get into my “sewing room”.
I tried to do a little research about the Echino fabric but didn’t really find anything out. Does anyone know anything about it? I do know that Pacific Fabrics Northgate location carries some of this fun fabric.
Saturday night I took my fun new fabrics and made new pillowcases for my tired thro
w pillows in my family room. It was so fun and easy and I love the way the great Echino graphics look on the pillows contrasted on my dark brown sofa. It makes my whole family room feel fresh and new.
I also took one of the large scene fabrics and spread it over an artist canvas, making it into a quick wall hanging for my kids room. It is great how color
ful and fun it is and when my tastes change, I can easily turn it into something else. This was fun and easy – my only tip is don’t use an office stapler – it worked a lot better with my husband’s staple tacker.
Have you done any fun and easy projects recently? I would love to hear about them!
