Well, what a day it has been! One of those beautiful early mornings, slightly misty and tinged with pink and then a brilliant blue sky and pleasant heat throughout the day.
Personally, I think this came about because I changed my header to one with an autumnal feel and started cosy-ing up to the idea of cooler days and the joys they bring.
I will enjoy this lovely spell for as long as it continues, but I'm not being sidetracked from a rather enjoyable 'cooler days are coming' task - the hunt for some pretty corduroy. I'm thinking little Sophia has only had knitted pressies from me so far...

Maybe too bright for her just yet.
 |
| From 'MyFabrics.co.uk' - £9.20 per metre |
Maybe too sombre.
 |
| From 'Favourite Fabrics' on ebay -£7.99 per metre |
Neither too bright, nor too sombre, but too pale to be practical?
 |
| Liberty babycord from 'Shaukat.co.uk' - £14.00 per metre |
Sweet, but a bit too much green.

Ooh yes! Lovely!

I love random polka dots!

Gorgeous, but again, maybe impractical.
 |
| From 'Fabric Inspirations' -£11.00 per metre |
I adore this one. A definite maybe.
(As impractical as the previous one probably, but I've fallen for it, so practicality doesn't enter the equation any more!)

| From 'Fabric Inspirations' -£13.00 per metre |
Not my usual style, but I like this and can imagine something funky in it.
These Liberty Kingly Cords are all very tempting...

I have only used one of these websites before (Favourite Fabrics on ebay, who have always given me great service) but as none of my usual online suppliers have corduroy in stock, I may well use one of these instead. If the service is anything like as good as I got from 'M is for Make' recently (see this post), I will let you know!
You do right, don't get distracted from Autumn, it won't last, you know it! Pretty fabrics :o)
