The Washi is a great place to start, and if you really like this stuff there are all sorts of places to go. <br /><br />Some of my favorites include: the Sailor Tophttps://www.fancytigercrafts.com/patterns/fancy-tiger-crafts/sailor-top-printed-pattern; the Scout Tee http://shop.grainlinestudio.com/products/scout-tee, the Aster top (when you want to play with buttons)https://www.colettepatterns.com/sewing/aster; the Hemlock Top (when you want to play with jersey)http://grainlinestudio.com/2013/08/05/hemlock-tee-pattern-its-free/, the Laurel top (and dress)https://www.colettepatterns.com/sewing/laurel. <br /><br />As for fabric there are more and more places to get garment fabric online (hooray). Herewith some of my regular haunts:<br />http://www.moodfabrics.com<br />http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com<br />https://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/?gclid=CK_74sP7oMYCFYaRHwod6UAA5A<br />https://indiesew.com/fabrics<br />http://www.blackbirdfabrics.com<br /><br />and there's always Etsy...<br /><br />HAVE FUN! And let me know if you need more ideas/resources. I make all of my clothing at this point, so am happy to enable others!Samanthahttp://www.agatheringofstitches.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-82742335383465507472015-06-20T20:13:19.407-04:002015-06-20T20:13:19.407-04:00Hi Rossie.

Never in a million years would I have imagined I would become a quilter but I came across 'Quilting with a Modern Slant' by complete accident and something about the Gees Bend quilts grabbed me and then I read how your fractions quilt was put together and it seemed so interesting and achievable. I have 23 out of 95 blocks to go and I'll send you a pic when I'm done. It's far from perfect but has rustic charm I like to think. And I think I'll be a quilter for a long time to come. Thanks so much for inspiring me. justine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438068182232952391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-38716265645506439372015-06-19T14:24:06.352-04:002015-06-19T14:24:06.352-04:00You might want to check out Fabricworm.

My favorite are the Birch Fabric knits.<br /><br />I've only been there once, but I remember Pink Castle fabrics having a nice selection of Liberty of London lawn fabric.

That sort of put me off studying Vet Science. Our goats loved willow, which is as much as pest here, as poison ivy is over your way. Goats are so loving, and nicer smelling than sheep.Tawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295588522725499446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-24531981581347543512015-06-05T08:21:44.445-04:002015-06-05T08:21:44.445-04:00Congrats!

But this is what I learned from having goats.<br />-they love almost all shrubs, including raspberries, roses etc. You can't expect goats to eat grass, cause that's what sheep eat, goats love small but hardy bushy growth. But if they run out or get bored, they will stat knawing off tree bark, they aren't fussy about this. Just a few things I learned and would love to have them again someday. Can't wait to see your goat quilt. If you make it into a pattern I'd love to test it for you.
