I had to work on the weekend so couldn't sew - it has been a busy couple of weeks work wise - but that hasn't stopped me from ordering fabric!! I just can't help myself. Here are my purchases - I had to confess to someone!
I have tried to match some fabrics with each other and with what I have in my stash.
I received some feedback on wardrobe making from Lena Merrin and Belinda (Sew4fun) recommending both grey and tan / mushroom. I loved the idea of mushroom colour dress and as such I purchased the below wool - listed as taupe but I see it as mushroom (may be wrong) .This will go with a lot of the fabric I already have (But then HAD to purchase the embroidered uptown raw silk below it ($3.99 per yard for 100% silk!!!) and one thing led to another and what the h*ll - credit cards were invented for spending!
If you are not interested in seeing copious amounts of pictures of fabric then look no further.

ReplyDeleteHi Suzy - again it was an online purchase from fabric.com which has become my all time favourite supplier!
ReplyDeleteI just went and ordered some! I've been wanting to have a go at some chanel style jackets and haven't been able to find any decent quality tweeds until now! and only $3.99yard for 100% silk! I ordered 3 types, lol, can't wait to get it :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them - you really can't beat 3.99 per yard! Not down under anyway/
ReplyDeleteMove away from the internet!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteTwere it that easy MrsC.... It is the siren call of cloth.

ReplyDeleteOMG they are all so beautiful. But please do cut into them because I want to see more of your sewing !
