Andrew and I went to Mum’s for lunch. After lunch I asked if we could go through mum’s fabric stash. Often mum mentions that she has things that I’ve just gone and bought, so if I knew what was there then it would make sharing easier…
Well mum just started giving me things she doesn’t have a use for… and a full (I mean packed) pillow case later… this is what I scored…
white, blue and black terry towling. White and black panne velvet.
Top (left to right): Denim, brocade, lady bug greet cotton with tiny white dots (will make a really cute dress), cream linen (have secret plan for this), Green striped cotton/silk combo (going to make a great shirt when I’m brave enough), HEAPS of grey denim medium weight.
Bottom (left to right): Cotton (going to make a lovely shirt for sammy), blue brocade, white brocade, medium striped denim (only enough for sammy sized pants), white hybiscus on green (might make a shirt for me otherwise would make a lovely girls dress)
Red/black shimmer can’t remember name of material. We bought this to make liz’s bridesmaid dress because it was lovely and at a really good price. Unfortunately it really didn’t go with Liz, however it suits me perfectly so I’ll find something lovely. The black/red shimmery material that is top right-> bottom right is material I fell in love just after high school and mum was going to make a lovely dress. However she eventually refused. The material has a one way shimmer that you have to be in the right light to match. One day I might be brave enough to make something with it.
Bottom: The far left is a black satin with embroided leaves (mind blank on formal name). It is gorgeous but not a lot of it.
Then there are two pink sattins and a lovely pink suiting poly that will make me a lovely lovely shirt (again when I’m brave enough)
And then an update on my stash with everything all nicely put away:
I better get sewing! There will be very few updates as I’m working on some secret squirrel stuff till it is delivered and also on my webdu conference presentation.
