fabric for red hardanger bag

I have been fielding many requests for the actual fabric that I used for my hardanger bag that was on the cover of Embroidery and Cross Stitch magazine.

When I bought the fabric from my local shop, I only bought enough for me to make the project. Had I known how well it would turn out, and how well the project itself would be received by the general stitching public, I would have bought the whole roll! But I didn’t…

Until recently, the shop still had a small amount left on the roll. And then it disappeared. So I went back in there yesterday with the small amount of the fabric that I have left and asked if they can get any more. Its not amongst their samples, but they’re going to try to find some more for me. Not very hopeful, but at least they’re doing what they can.

If I can get some, I’ll certainly let you all know.

For those that want to try to find some themselves, it was red shot black chiffon. Lovely light, filmy fabric, with gorgeous feel and drape. I still love it!
