I have been pretty good with fabric buying this year and actually only did two big internet orders - one from the US and one within Australia. As fate would have it, they arrived a day apart, which meant for a very big fabric week!
These parcels were both bought on very good sales, and lots of the fabric was clearance - my goal was to do some stash building. I bought from
Hypernoodle Fabrics in the US, who not only had a significant discount on all stock, they also offered international shipping at domestic rates. I'd never bought anything from there before, but their service was great and I found their website very easy to navigate. I also bought a nice selection from
Craft Depot in Sydney, who I have visited IRL a few times as they are two suburbs away from my dad's place. I usually stop in there when I'm in Sydney and check out their extensive range of $9.99m fabrics. Their website is also nice to navigate and the postage was pretty good too.
Wanna see what I got?

I don't often buy multi-coloured prints, but these were all irresistible. |

Dandelion goodness in my girls' favourite colours. |

Girl #2 love purple. Since good purples are hard to find, I always, always buy it when I see good stuff. |

More neutral goodness. |

And a few more pretty little stash builders. |

Chevron meets sketch... what more could you ask for? |
A lot of these prints are typically me, blenders in geometric patterns seem to make my heart sing. But one thing I'm pleased with is that a lot of them are a bit lighter or darker than I would usually choose, and I am really glad I am extending my tonal comfort zone.
This will be the last Sunday Stash post out of me for quite some time... now I've had this little binge I've decided that next year will be time for a fabric diet - but that's something for another post.
Meanwhile, I'm linking up with the lovely
Fiona, who is hosting her second last Sunday Stash before handing the reins over to
Molli Sparkles in 2014.

I love the mermaids and the sketch/chevrons are awesome, haven't seen those before, way cool.
