More fabric shopping…

… I just really need to find time to sew!

Lightweight white linen from https://www.fabric.com/

One of the online fabric stores I’ve used before sometimes has good prices on linen. I don’t often shop there if stuff is on regular price, but a while back I saw they had lightweight linen on for about $4/yard – they only had 19 yards, and I bought all 19 yards!

I think that this is the same lightweight linen I have used in the past to line my red and gold Italian gown, the black and gold brocade Italian overdress, lined the skirt to my green Italian petticoat, and made a navy Viking underdress with.  (Probably a few more things too). White linen will be even MORE versatile I bet – since I’ll be able to dye it too if I need a certain colour.

Grandmother’s fabric sale 2017

Close up of the 100% silk herringbone fabric from the Grandmother’s 2017 fabric sale.

It’s been a while, but it took me some time to get around to this – showing off my “haul” from the latest Grandmother’s Fabric Sale in Calgary.

My favourite score was this 100% silk herringbone fabric – enough to definitely make an apron dress… possibly enough to make an underdress or overgarment as well! I’ll need to plan that out to see.

Calgary fabric auction ends tomorrow

Red and black houndstooth fabric

Two weeks ago I posted about trying to de-stash some of my fabrics with an online “auction”. Tomorrow is the ‘closing’ of the auction of a bunch of wools, wool blends, and other coating/jacket fabrics.

Fabrics I have for sale

Selling off some of my fabric

Red and black houndstooth fabric

While trying to clean up my sewing room, I realized that I have a LOT of fabric, and a lot of if that I won’t really ever get around to sewing up.

With that in mind, I’m doing a little online auction to sell off some of my extra for cheap. This is really only useful for people in Calgary or area, or who will be at some of the events I’ll be at in the near future.

Please note – I’m trying to SELL these fabrics. Over the past year I’ve GIVEN away a lot of fabric (several boxes worth actually), but these are fabrics I’ve bought and am looking to get a little bit for.
