Buying fabric for the first time (at Lil Weasel’s)

I was pretty excited when I pushed the door of the Lil Weasel store (passage du Grand Cerf – Montorgueil area – in Paris, France) to buy my very first fabrics !

Basic and plain fabrics to start with… for my first attempts. I certainly won’t resist buying Liberty fabrics when I am more at ease with my sewing machine.

I am going to use the bluish poplin for a tiny summer strapped top and the purple cotton for a “sarouel” (a pair of baggy trousers worn in North Africa).

I found those patterns in Astrid Le Provost’s book – Les intemporels pour enfants (Timeless patterns for kids).
