I decided to order another few fabric pieces. My Vogue Fabric subscription came up for renewal and while online renewing that I decided to order some fabrics from their Early Spring 2011 Mailing. Their theme for this mailing was a tribute to Coco Chanel.
I ordered fabrics that I intend to make up into dresses and one is for a blouse or shell or both.
This is a cotton-rayon spandex that my thought when seeing it was a sleeveless dress with waistline and I would wear a belt with it.
This red/white houndstooth will become a princess seamed dress; maybe with in seam pockets. I just ordered and received a pair of red patent leather pumps from Zappa.com.
This is a lovely polyester fabric in French blue, with gray and black. I could not get a true color of the blue-gray with my camera; even with editing I did not achieve the beautiful color blue in the actual piece.
I ordered enough for a blouse and hopefully a shell top.
I am off now to pin fit a Jalie pattern-2921 to make a top from this knit fabric purchased earlier this year from Denver Fabrics:
Hope everyone has a good sewing weekend.
Lovely fabrics.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabric! I especially love the houndstooth. :]
ReplyDeleteI like the Jalie pattern that you are working on now. Do you think that would work in a thin stripe?
ReplyDeleteZappa.com? Maybe Zappos? Very nice fabrics!
