Red Denim fabric

The red denim fabric arrived.  It is a nice red but not the red I thought it was going to be.  The denim quality is good and I am going to use it for the inspiration jacket as planned.  I had hoped it was more of warm red and it is a good basic red with not too much of cool undertone. 

Before I start on it, I will be washing it a couple of times.  Meanwhile I am going to start on a McCall's dress pattern , the black and floral version.  This is the fabric and lining I will be using.

The fabric is from EOS and the lining has been in the stash, it a green color matching the green in the floral print.  I have cut around the pattern pieces so I can start the pin fitting for pattern adjustments.  The dress bodice has separate pieces for A, B, C and D cups so hopefully no FBA necessary.

Updates to follow.

Obsessed

I love denim jackets.  I have made a couple in past years.  However I am obsessed with red denim jackets at the moment.  One of my favorite casual looks is this one.

I have seen several red denim fabrics; yet when I am ready to purchase some I can not find a red one that is really red like my Pinterest one on my usual fabric sites.  And then I googled red denim fabric and found one that I hope is going to be the right one.

It was on Nancy's Notions site. It is called Fire Red.  It looks like the red I love, a warm red not one with blue undertones.  Monitors can be deceiving though!

I purchased it yesterday and of course it was on back order and supposedly will be shipped this Friday.  I will be waiting patiently for it to arrive.
