Fabric Added to the Stash

Since I'm not able to sew yet, I succumbed to buying fabric. I have limited myself. Really. I had some in the cart at Fashion Fabrics Club and then closed it out without buying and I drooled over some at EmmaOneSock............but didn't order. So, it could have been worse!

It's been two weeks since my foot surgery. Things are doing very well. Because I have to keep my foot elevated alot, sitting at the sewing machine or standing to trace or cut out patterns is still on the back burner.

I had a doctor appointment this morning for the stitches to be removed. That went OK. Some of them didn't want to slip out easily so I got a bit light headed (and green), but I made it through.

My fabric haunts were on the way home from the doctor's office. I decided to reward myself by stopping at a couple of them for a quick walk-through. Nothing grabbed my attention at the first stop, but I did find some things at Super textiles.

I picked up four pieces; two wovens for shirts (since I've been on this Burda shirt kick for a while) and two knits--one for me and one for DGD.



Black and white stripe and the purple multi-color stripe are destined to be shirts (at least for now, anyway); the red rayon knit is for a "T" for me; the other stripe which is really navy and a lime green (it's not showing that way on my monitor) is for a top for DGD.



The navy/green knit is ruffled.



The following three cuts are from Fabric.com--red silk dupioni--another blouse plan; purple (which is showing royal blue on my monitor) silk/rayon with nothing particular in mind right now; and black/gray rayon for slacks. These arrived last week.

Red fabrics are in the washer now so they will be ready when the foot is willing to use the foot pedal!
