Toile...

Does anyone else love a little bit of toile?

I recently spotted some gorgeous linen toile fabric in Spotlight... it was a little expensive so I could not justify spending the money when I wasn't even sure what I would use it for.......so last week they had a sale on.. 40% off cut fabrics....hmmm..still a little more expensive than I'd like  but the offer was too good to pass up.

I thought I would drape it across the tops of my living room windows...at a guess thought I needed about 15 metres....ooppps not enough cash..."Can I lay-by it?"..."Sorry madam you can but not for the reduced price"

Hmmm...." OK just give me a couple of metres"..so home I went disappointed but at least I had a couple of metres of beautiful  fabric..perhaps I could make some cushions..

I thought I would drape what I had across the window just to see what it would look like when I realised that if I had purchased the amount I had wanted, I would have had way too much fabric due to the way  the pattern was going..oooopps !

Glad I didn't make such an expensive mistake....

love this....

now that's an idea...

So yes I only needed  a few extra metres....

Enjoy your weekend
