Pezzy Print Goodness : :

I am completely in love with this cheerful bundle of Pezzy Prints! They're like a new box of crayons -- so perfect and bright! They arrived earlier this week from Cotton Blossom Farm (where they're on sale!) and they've been making me happy ever since!

Right away I knew I was going to have some fun with these! I'm a little late in stashing. I know these pezzy's have been around a while, and are even a little hard to find now. And, I'm definitely a bit disappointed that I missed out on the green and gray! But look how pretty they are!!

Pretty Pezzy Prints

These Pezzy's make such a great basic and seem like the perfect thing to have in your stash. They're very usable with SO many other prints! Even so, I just don't want to split them up!

Yes, I think the Pezzy projects that I have planned will involve these Pezzy's staying together!

Making Skirts!

Thread Tie for Drawstring
I'll have a new tutorial to share tomorrow for a simple drawstring skirt, as part of Skirting the Issue with Project Run and Play, and I'm super excited!!

If you've been wanting to give garment sewing a try or if you're a beginner, I really think this is a good first project! I'm just starting out myself, so it had to be easy, right? I hope you join me!!  Maureen

Most excellent! Love the fabric AND the super typewriter!! Where did you get that? I've a niece aiming for graduate school and I would l-o-v-e to make her this entire project as a way to send her off to success. Thank you for posting this gem!

Those Pezzies are wonderful and I love the little glimpse of projects.

How exciting! I AM wanting to try some garment sewing. I have a layer cake of the Pezzy print that I've been wondering what to do with. Maybe I can adapt it to what you're going to share. Thanks!

LOVE PEZZY!!! Sewn Studio in Cincinnati had a bunch in when I was there yesterday but I'm not sure about green and grey. They're going to be setting up an online shop too, so you should look there! :)

Hey! I hope you get this, you're a no-reply commenter, so I couldn't write you back. My friends Jessica and Rachael work at Sewn Studio! I heard they're going to be online, I can't wait to check it out!! I'm going to have to get those gray and green if they do have them. Thanks!!

It's like you read my mind! I just bought some fabric to try and make my first skirt, so I'm really excited about your upcoming tutorial!

Kristen said...

I just got some Pezzy as part of a surprise FQ pack from fabric shoppe. They are so cute! They are hopefully going to be part of my FIRST quilt for my son. :)

Cheryl said...

Can't wait to see it in its entirety tomorrow - it looks adorable!

Katy Cameron said...

OMG, I love the pezzys, AND the MM, AND them together... Can I come over and play at your house please?!

Cherie said...

They are great prints! I'm starting to wish I had gotten more of the colours now! =D

Jacey said...

I like the looks of this! I can't wait to see the rest, Maureen. And I'm glad you see the beauty of the mono Pez. ;) It's a super awesome print, definitely.

Alia said...

Wooo! I'm excited for the skirt tutorial. I recently finished a simple zippered cotton skirt for myself that I sort of winged it as I went along. It will be nice to see an actual set of instructions :)

Kristy said...

This is adorable! Love the simplicity!
