Fabric, notif and patterns

I have started to buy some fabric recently.  What is my motivation?  I have bought my own sweing machine. I was tired of youtsourcing small repairs outside the home.  In addition, my sweing machine can do embrodery.  A big plus.

Since I have my sewing machine, my attention makes a pit stop for fabric.  There are all kind of fabric.  It is not my priority what kind of fabric I buy.  Not yet.  What caught my eyes until now are the patters and motf on the fabrics.  I find that really inspiring.  Inspiring in the sense I could do anything I want with those fabrics.

I don't have any projects involving my sewing machine.  No big project yet.  I know I could practice more.  Thinking of it, I am tempted to kame a blouse.  I should look for a model and the appropriate fabric.

Here is one example of a fabric that I like:

It is in the trival theme, I think.  The black background makes the other colours pop up.


Meanwhile, I have made a pin cusing by hand.  One error was to have cut the fabric too quickly.  I was too sure of myself.  I have put puffs into it before closing it.  I also put some magnets inside.  It was one of my brillant idea.  I thought it would be useful to have them in case I drop a needle.  In addition, no need to put the needle into the fabric of the pin cushion.

Here are my material:

Here is my pin cushion:

It was a first try.  Putting magnet into the pin cushion is a very good idea.  On the unsatisfied part, it is a very big pin cushion.  Another thing: I could put more puffs.  It is useful informations for my next try.
