HOLA FRIEND’S
I AGAIN WANT TO SAY SORRY FOR NO TIP OF THE WEEK LAST WEEK.
I AM BACK TONIGHT WITH NOT SO MUCH A TIP BUT I WANTED TO SHARE SOME FUN FABRIC FACT THAT’S I CAME ACROSS THE OTHER DAY.

Paisley was named after a Scottish town that, in the 19th century, produced copies of Indian cashmere shawls with cone motifs that we call paisley today.

Chintz was used as a dress fabric in America as early as colonial days. The fabric was imported from India to England and then to the colonies. By the early 1900s, this popular fabric was often of poor quality that faded and lost much of its shine when washed. Thereafter, anything of inferior quality was referred to as “chintzy.”

Corduroy was a name coined during King Louis of France’s reign. The king insisted everyone around him be dressed in splendor. Even his servants were instructed to have a polished look, so they traded in their plain cottons and woolens for a new cotton fabric with a more luxurious-looking nap — dubbed “cord du roi,” or, in English, “cords of the king.”

I THOUGHT THOSE WERE SPIFFY!
AND TALKING ABOUT FACRIC I BOUGHT SOME CUTE ONE OF THE THE WEEKEND ALONG WITH SOME BUTTONS FOR SOME BLYTHE DRESSES I AM GOING TO BE MAKING AND SOME POUCHES.

I HOPE ALL YOU MOM’S HAD A FANTASTIC MOTHER’S DAY.

I ALSO HOPE YOU DIDN’T FORGET TO WEAR AN APRON.
I DIDN’T DO ANY BAKING BUT I DID WEAR MINE TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND THANK’S FOR VISITING.

HOPE TO BE BACK LATER IN THE WEEK WITH SOME MORE STUFF AND MAYBE PICTURES OF THE DRESSES I AM WORKING ON.
