Ok, so I was took my mom to the local (non-Joann's) fabric store, and she was not at all helpful when I tried to practice the art of restraint. So, I got fabric. Lots of fabric.

| Teal rayon jacquard (my favorite!), teal rayon, and ITY knit print. |
 |
| Crazy knit print and glitter stretch fabric (both for skating outfits I think). |
My mom was having fun shopping too - she even bought fabric for herself!

Sigh. I really wasn't going to buy fabric until after regionals. Really. But, well, I also really like the fabric that I got, so I suppose that makes it ok?
Oooh! That teal jacquard IS luscious! You could make a whole mini wardrobe from it and the rayon next to it.
ReplyDeleteGrazie mille!
ReplyDeleteIt is for the inside of your coat that I need to make at some point.
DeleteWow!, I have the hardest time finding stretch fabrics locally. You are so lucky to have such a resource! I need to find some nice stretch lace--any ideas? I also sew skating costumes....

Check out Spandex World's online website (I have the link to the left under the "Sew" header). They have a lot of great stretch fabrics (including lace) and will send free samples. Their prices are what I would consider fair - you won't be getting a bargain, but they do have good quality stretch fabrics for dance/skate/costumes. I have been very happy with their selection and service.
