There's a crazy fabric shop in Bath that appears to be the one time forgot. It's got fabrics in there that must be 30 years old. At least. But sometimes, amongst the piles and roles of dusty fabrics, you can find a hidden gem. That's why I go there whenever I'm searching for something a bit different and, when I was looking for fabric to recover some cushions for our sofa last week, I found a couple of treasures.

How lovely are these prints? And they contrast with our sofa and Union Jack cushion (a wedding present!) rather beautifully. Plus I took the zips out of the old covers and whipped them up in about an hour on my Mum's far superior machine. Man, I love that thing. It's quiet and smooth and actually works when you want it to. I will be stealing it more often!

ps. thank you for all your lovely comments about our family's latest arrival. He is so cute, isn't he! x
