There is no place like home!
As young kids we can’t wait to get older. To be able to have more independence, make our own decisions, explore and experience new things and the world around us. As it is, childhood is fleeting and it isn’t until we are adults with our own families that we realize how special our childhood was and how we wish we weren’t in such a hurry to have grown up. Picture coming home for the holidays or special occasions to your childhood home. The smell, the furniture, the trinkets, and the sounds. Whose parents still have your childhood bedroom still intact from your high school days? So many amazing memories come flooding your mind, most of them happy, some funny, and others sad but one thing is for sure you feel comforted and secure.
“Home is where the heart is,” this is a phrase that comes to mind when sewing with Barj J’s newest fabric collection. ‘Fairview Avenue’ is a loving tribute to home, inspired by the cozy comforts of her childhood, from chintz wallpaper to tole chandeliers, this collection brings nostalgia to life.
