New Fabric Mart knit fabric
You know when you buy on line that sometimes when the fabric arrives it is not quite what you thought it was going to be. I am truly happy to report that my latest fabric purchase from Fabric Mart was even better than I expected. The quality of this knit was superior and I believe it will sew well.
One piece I purchased was a border print along the selvage with a different print on each side.
The camera does not do justice to the bright colors of the blue. This will be interesting to sew. I am definitely thinking a dress and using the border at neckline as well as hemline. I have not determined the pattern yet, though I am sure I have something in my pattern stash.
The next two fabrics will be used to make the Marcy Tilton Vogue dress pattern that many sewist have been stitching up.
This is a vivid orange and matches perfectly with the striped fabric. Again photo does not do justice to the fabric. I think I need to plan a sewing vacation soon. More sewing later.

Love the look of that fabric. Eager to see it sewn up.
ReplyDeleteI hope to sew the orange and striped fabric soon.
DeleteI was looking at both of those and ended up ordering some different ones during the sale.
ReplyDeleteI have been avoiding their site since purchasing these so I want be tempted to buy more.
DeleteI'm making M6744 out of that bright striped knit right now! :) I almost got the blue too. Can't wait to see what you put together.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to find the perfect fabric for that Marcy Tilton dress! Everyone that makes it has amazing results. I can't wait!
I will go check out that pattern. Look forward to seeing it made up.
DeleteI haven't purchased any fabric lately so excuse me if I'm breathing kinda heavy because those are both beautiful pieces from one of my favorite online retailers. Also, my sewing vacay starts August 30th and I.can't.wait!!!
ReplyDeleteI am happy you are going to get that sewing vacay soon! I have to say that I almost removed the border print from the cart, when it arrived I was doing a happy dance because it is truly gorgeous!
DeleteThat border print is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think so too!
DeleteBeautiful fabrics. The orange combo should work really well with the Marci dress. That's on my list for fall as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana!
