Millie's Closet by Bee in My Bonnet (designer Lori Holt) arrived this week, and my daughter, Olivia, and I literally squealed as we unpacked the boxes. The prints are "SOOO cute!," as Olivia said.
The designs are inspired by Lori Holt's grandma and are a 30s throwback with a modern twist. I happen to adore the dress form and stripe prints, though it's hard to pick a favorite!
This "cheater" print is also fantastic because the squares are just large enough to cut out to use in 5" charm patterns. Brilliant, right?
There's also some sweet 1/4" crochet trim to embellish projects with. Available in white and aqua, they perfectly with Millie's Closet fabric. I can see this being the perfect extra touch on pin cushions, zip pouches, or small toss pillows.
Riley Blake offers some fantastic video tutorials on their website. I love this one with Bee in My Bonnet designer Lori Holt showing how to make an functional, fast travel bag using the Millie's Closet fabrics.
Even though I have so many other projects going on, I don't know if I'll be able to resist not cutting into these fabrics this weekend!
OMG I just received the big bundle of the whole line from FQS. I didn't know you were getting this line in. I also didn't know they had matching crochet trim. I NEED that!!!! I will be back for that very soon as I bought this bundle to make Callee dresses. That trim would be great around the bottom or the arm holes.
