Needles-N-Pins Stitcheries: Springs Fabrics

Spring has sprung for most everyone now so it is time to get busy making and sewing those spring projects. Spring fabrics are so pretty and the colors are great. I for one love pastels. Pastels are my favorites to work with. I thought today I would show you some spring fabrics from Etsy shops. 


Look at this different pattern from the Robert Kaufman Remix collection that ThePalmettoBaby has. I like the colors and design of this fabric.







Cheverons are very popular right now and you can see this one from Annadaisysfabrics. Lots of pretty spring colors in this fabric. You could make a nice pillow from this fabric. 





Ok......so Spring is the start of the baseball season. I come from a baseball family so I really like baseball. How about this cute baseball fabric from patontheback. How cute is this for some little boy or girl! Hey, my grandson is a baseball player. He is actually the pitcher. Guess I should use this fabric to make him something. :)






Now Spring wouldn't be spring without all the spring flowers and this fabric from SuesFabricNSupplies has them all. 







Looking at all these fabrics makes me think I need to get my Spring fabrics out and get busy sewing...hmmmmm......what shall I make. :)




Have a great day and happy sewing!
