The sewjo is slowly coming back and I am starting to prep for winter. That means I purchasing fabric. Here is my latest purchases:
This is a stretch suiting in a denim color. I purchased two yards with the intend of it being a skirt. It is a very nice fabric. Machine wash gentle cycle, low dry temp.
This is a blue/white striped chambray. I intended to make a button down shirt with it but the fabric is very thin (sheer) and I am not sure that I would wear it. I purchased three yards. Other than being fairly sheer, it looks like the picture.
This is a checked fabric that I found in the Wal-Mart precuts. I purchased it thinking it would be nice for a pant muslin but it is much nicer than I thought it was. I plan on making a long skirt.
This is a striped sweater knit. It is another Wal-Mart pre-cut and there are two yards. I plan on my a t-shirt type top or sweater. I can not tell what type of fabric it is but I will do a burn test to check.
So, I think I have purchased enough fabric for now. I only piece I am disappointed with is the blue/white chambray. The website had it listed as heavy enough for shorts. I think that they missed the boat but maybe I can find an interested blouse pattern that will work but I still want a blue/white striped button down.
Happy Stitching!
