Fabric from Fabric Mart arrived a couple of days ago. Have not ordered any fabric from them in some time. I am happy with all of the items except the green/brown border print. My fault for not reading the description more thoroughly. I read cotton and assumed a medium weight fabric, this is more like cotton voile or gauze. I will put aside for warmer weather.
My favorite pieces are the navy and white ottoman jacquard and the denim blue and white herringbone polyester fabric that was a pre-cut item. I have to thank Carolyn of Diary of a Sewing Fanatic for a picture post on Instagram of her blouse that was a pre-cut paisley fabric that got me to take a look at FM site.

| Polyester herringbone for a blouse/top |
It feels good to have a project planned. More later!
I bought the blue/white herringbone pre-cut piece too. Also to make another bow tie blouse. We're going to be twinsies! Also, can you tell me a little about the navy blue jacquard? Is it a midweight jacquard? I have some in my cart and I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI find it to be a midweight, definitely would work for jacket or coat for cool (not cold) temperatures. Because it is ottaman I think it adds a little heft to the fabric. I like the reverse side also and can see using that as a contrast.
DeleteI love love love the green brown border print. perhaps a tunic with it? The Ottoman fabric is pretty as well although maybe a little heavy for a top?-Blessings
ReplyDeleteThe Ottoman fabric will be perfect for a jacket or duster type coat. The verdict is still out on the border print. Maybe for spring/summer as it is very thin.
DeleteLooks as though you have some nice sewing days ahead.
ReplyDeleteI hope to and have some vaca time coming up so plan to do some sewing then as well.
