have you all checked out alittlegoodness’s Etsy site yet? I desperately requirement this fabric. (If by ‘desperately’, you indicate ‘after stitching up the 15 lawns I desperately needed *last* week.’)
Included in that 15 lawns was a great chunk of this fabric, which I published about yonks ago, as well as which is now back in stock at fashion materials Club:
I likewise gotten (no photos … yet) a soft, heavy loden eco-friendly material that is potentially a cotton/wool blend, some lightweight teal denim, as well as a truly great Liz Claiborne browny-gray ombre-ish stripe. extremely somber; I’m believing I’ll try one more version of the Why Not Plaid gown keeping that last fabric. You know, genuine soon Now.
I have come to a kind of détente with my material stash: I have an massive amount of fabric, as well as yet never seem to have anything I can really sew with. The material I want to sew with has to hit that wonderful spot: it has to be something I want to wear, yet not so exceptionally stunning that I am as well cowed to cut into it. (Have you ever tried buying for “good enough” fabric? It’s extremely difficult.*) So my plan is this: I just get stunning material as well as then wait on other stunning material to show up as well as push slightly-less stunning materials down the ladder of gorgeousness up until they are at a low sufficient rung to be cut into. Some fabrics, it is unfortunate to say, autumn rather rapidly; others have maintained an immunity to scissors as well as pins for years. the worst is when material goes from too-gorgeous to too-NOT-gorgeous as well as misses the scissor-able stage altogether.
*This may be a service model: a site that only offers mediocre-plus fabrics. “Perfect for semi-wearable muslins!” would be its tagline. Or perhaps “Fabrics you’ll be ‘in like’ with!”
