FabFabYo

FabFabYo is a blogger based in Dublin who claims she is
Dangerously obsessed with fabs, that the only reason I'm learning how to sew is so that I have an excuse to buy more!
I bought 2m of "Happy Black" fabric from her but we didn't meet unfortunately as I was off to Europe for a month but my brother met her to receive the package! Really great not to have to pay postage and packaging but I don't know anything about the origin or the attributes of the fabric.

Not sure what to do make with the fabric. A skirt I think. Without panels. Maybe either NewLook 6872 or BurdaStyle 7215
The fabric is quite light. Cotton-y. I wonder if a blouse might work?!
Hopefully experience brings more ability for making these decisions!
Yasmin herself recently blogged about the inspiration she's had about the project she might make.

Pippablue

I received a lovely email response this morning from Eva and Ger @ Pippablue.
Pippablue are based in Cathedral Buildings, Middle St., Galway and sell Fabrics, Craft Supplies, Knitting Wool, Dressmaking & Knitting Patterns and Gift shopping and also provide Sewing Classes. And they have an online shop too with... best news... free delivery on orders over €50 to the Republic of Ireland! But even for those outside of Ireland, take a look at the interesting patterns, fabrics, creative kits and so much more.
Eva said in her email that the stock changes a lot so it's a site I'll have to keep checking back with. And I hope to pay a visit to a friend in Galway soon and will be sure to drop in.

Past postings in a previous position

"Past postings in a previous position"?! Excuse the daft title... alliteration got the better of me.
These are the previous postings I had about 'sewing' on my History of Design Blog:
I'm looking forward to gathering (oh dear, pardon the pun) together my sewing projects here.
