Hello, I’m Cassie from Hi Sugarplum! I’m thrilled to be taking part in Textile Thursday! I love the series, and am a big fan of Danielle.

I’m pretty new to the fabric scene, and before blogging, all I ever knew was Hobby Lobby! Now I’m familiar with many more fabric resources, but I still tend to stick with the inexpensive ones. Mostly because they fit my budget, but also so I don’t feel guilty when I want to change them out!

One place I love to put fabric, is in the backs of kitchen cabinets:

I loved this fabric so much I made a No-Sew Table Runner out of it! (Because even though I love fabric, this girl doesn’t sew! Hopefully someday.)

I recovered this hit-with-the-ugly-stick tray in a pink cross-section….and have plans to put the fabric in the back of the living room bookcases as well.

One of my favorite fabrics in the whole house is actually one I’d have never chosen on my own (it’s an inherited chair). I love the clean simplicity of the color, but the nubby texture gives it so much interest. And pretty much any throw pillow looks fabulous on it!

These pillows get the most comments from visitors in my house…they pack such a fun punch against the blue couch. And thanks to retailers like Target, we regular folk can afford high style like Dwell Studio!

Most of the fabrics in my house right now are actually swatches. Little pieces I carry from room to room, while devising a plan. Here’s what I have and where I’m thinking of incorporating them:

My daughter’s new Big Girl Room will be getting some fun fabrics as well. Follow my progress at Hi Sugarplum!

Thanks for having me, Danielle!!

we are back and full of attitude.

i have been drooling over the striped and dotted swimming suits at j.crew cuts.

i just can’t justify spending $50.00 on a swimming suit.

i was SO happy when i saw this one at target for $8.50.

i love the kelly green stripes and dots!

what are you looking at?

i couldn’t resist finishing it off with a pink rosette from forever 21

now warm up weather!

we are ready.

yesterday i completed my DIY skirted desk!

i really feel like my office is starting to come together.

the skirt was simple but time consuming.

it took me about 4 hours.

*3 yards of fabric (i decided not go to with the burlap)

*1 pkg of quilt binding (3 yards)

*velcro

*glue gun*

sewing machine

*iron

happy february!

i love always having a DIY project.

the latest focus is my office/entry.

i completed my $18.00 DIY sunbusrt mirror last week.

now onto my desk!

i have been obsessing over this skirted console table by palmer wiess for a while now.

i love the burlap and orange trimming.

isn’t it stunning?

i can’t believe i didn’t think of skirting my desk a long time ago.

here is my workspace, it’s a good start but it needs some tlc.

aren’t those shelves screaming for some love!?

i found burlap at joann’s for $3.99/yard.

it comes in several colors but i am thinking of this milky beige.

i am going to attach the skirt with velcro so it can easily be removed.

i wonder what it is like to sit at a desk with a skirt? anyone?

the trim is definitely my favorite part.

joann’s sells a wide variety of quilt binding.

i think it will work perfectly.

i am going to use this peacock blue.
