My mom called me about the one on the left that she found among some boxes. I've been wanting to make some matching belts for dresses but couldn't find the kits anywhere. Well after she called, I did a search on Ebay and found an auction for the other two on the right. With shipping they were under $10 for both. I'm pretty excited about these!And look what else the postman delivered today - my new fabrics from Denverfabrics.com. They just put up a whole slew of ITY jersey knits for $4.45/yard.
The red & white polka dots is for Butterick 5318, view A. The black and white with royal blue print is for NewLook 6429, view A. This will be for winter and I plan to pair it with tall black boots.
The aqua and brown print I was hoping to use for the upcoming wardrobe contest at Patternreview.com, but it does not match the fabric for skirt #3. Oh well, I still like it. I planning to make some winter tops with both of these. No definite pattern selection yet.
I'm planning NewLook 6429 (again) for this black and white swirl print, view E. The collar and waist tie will be done in the white.Still plugging away on McCall's 5859. The sleeves are extremely poofy!!! So much so that I'm having to borrow a sleeve from another pattern and recut them. But other than that I'm having no problems with it. Hopefully it will be completed by Saturday. Have a great weekend, y'all!
I love when everything I have been waiting for comes in the mail at one time. Those are gorgeous fabrics. I look forward to your completed garments.
ReplyDeleteI've never bought anything vintage. however I really like retro and mod, does that count? I've been tempted to shop at denverfabric since reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteI might have to cave as I just purchased the Sew U ( Home Stretch) by Wendy Mullin. From all my visits to denver they offer a good price on knits.
I love the black & white swirl print and the aqua brown. Can't wait to see the designs you use with the aqua fabric.
OH my!!! I'm so excited you're going to make that Maggie London Butterick Pattern. I have it and the fabric to make it- but I'm so worried about all those little pleats. It's gonna be sooo cute in the polka dots. Can't wait to see it made up!
ReplyDeleteI love those fabrics. They are so gorgeous. I'm going to have to check out Denver Fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics look great - you're going to have a beautiful fall wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteFun! I love getting treats in the mail :))) I can't wait to see the red dress - I love Maggy London...

ReplyDeleteOoh, nice fabrics! Did they take long to ship? I know the Fashion Fabrics Club is supposed to be the same people, right? They take FOREVER!
