Baby fabric pics from my shop at Rathdowne Fabrics

After posting my review of Rathdowne Fabrics & Remnants I realised I had forgotten to add pictures of what I actually purchased! Maybe I can blame it on having pregnancy brain this time, I seem to be forgetting stuff more and more often...
At least though I have managed to track down my camera cable, so posting pics is now a possibility :)

Here are the lovely fabrics I scored, total cost being around $19:

From L to R :  Yellow polka dot cotton knit, yellow cotton knit with a flower like pattern woven in, blue cotton knit with teddy bear faces woven in, yellow ribbed terry towelling and 10cms of green ribbing. I brought a metre each of all the fabrics except for the ribbing.


Clos up of the blue knit showing the cute teddy bear faces! I don't know what sex babies I'm having yet but I figure even if they are both girls I can whack a girly hairband them on to make it obvious if I have to. I just couldn't pass this fabric up and it was only available in blue.

Snuggly yellow terry towelling with a ribbed effect. So glad to find some in colours other than pink, white or blue. It has a good stretch to it and is a nice weight- not too thick and not too thin. Not sure what I'll be making this into but do know I'll be washing it a few times first - terry towelling has the reputation of shrinking like crazy!

All up not a bad selection of fabrics, hopefully I will be able to make quite a few baby clothes up in the next week or so :) Now just to work out sizing...
