Fan Feature: Margy from Fool 4 Fabric.
Meet Margy from the blog Fool 4 Fabric:
She has been sewing for 65+ years and is now enjoying life and blogging about her creations.
Margy caught our eye with her fun style and her passion for sewing.
When we asked her to be a guest blogger she happily accepted and whipped something up
from Fabric Mart fabric. We just love seeing projects made from our fabric!
So, here's Margy!
"One of my favorite parts of travel is putting together a travel
wardrobe. For an upcoming trip to Sicily, I am planning combinations of
my favorite black and white, with a little touch of red. It will be
quite warm in Sicily in September, so I am searching my fabric stash for
lightweight and wrinkle-resistant fabrics.
I chose a Dana Buchman ikat
print in black and white from Fabric Mart. I made a scarf/bandana out of
it for a trip to Ethiopia last January...talk about hot! I was amazed
that this fabric was lightweight, cool and never wrinkled. So...I made a
shirt from B5526,
a TNT (tried and true) pattern, using View C, but changing it up a lot,
as I always do!
I added some gathered pockets, (you can never have too
many pockets when traveling!) and made a gathered ruffle to use instead
of a collar. I have already worn this long shirt here at home, where
we've had a lot of hot days lately. This is definitely going in my
suitcase in September!"
Thank you, Margy!

Fabulous! Margy is one of my favorite bloggers and this showcases her style and elegance. I have some of this fabric too and it really is lovely quality.
Love it, and so stylish! I have that fabric. In fact I liked it so much I unknowingly ordered it twice!
