Waverly Fabric just came out with a brand new line of beautiful fabrics called ‘Modern Essentials’ which will be sold in Joann’s stores starting next week. Here’s a little bit about the new design:

Waverly takes a new direction with Modern Essentials, a unique variety of classic motifs designed for 21st century style. The collection offers three distinct looks – a playful, ethnic group, a spa inspired group and a take on the more traditional florals with Asian aesthetic and tone. The color palette ranges from earthenware and saturated jewel tones to crisper, warmer fruit punch tones and serene, aquatic colors. All are on cotton sateen with a nice calendar finish.

I love that these patterns range from bright and colorful to subtle and sophisticated! Such great colors! I already used two of their great fabrics listed below, ‘Sweet Spot’ and ‘Ring Toss’ to spruce up my baby gate, and I have plans for several more of these fabrics.

Waverly is giving away 1 random stack to FIVE READERS! Lucky YOU!

This adorable nursery baby wipe case from Ajo.Bebe in Beyond Flowers fabric. Ajo.Bebe sells other adorable baby accessories – my favorite is the reversible stroller liner. They are also offering a 15% off coupon code here.

This cute Button Trim Ponte plus size dress from FashionToFigure.com. They sell trendy plus size clothing including one of my favorites, the stripe jersey with vest.

And last but not least, these earrings are so “me”. Confectionary Trinket sells gorgeous jewelry – and while these earrings are my favorite, I also love this Journey Antique Bronze necklace.
