Fabric.....

[rowangolightly]

Not that I'm getting any now but boy, is it tempting.

Fabrics-store.com has their mid-weight linen on sale. When bought by the bolt; 20 yards, it comes out $6 per yard. And they've got some lovely colors.

Yeah, I'm a fabric whore, why do you ask?

Wench. Did you HAVE to tell me that, especially when I'm trying to be fiscally responsible? I swear, some people!

*giggles madly and goes e-diving into the fabric pile*

*hehehehe*

I just HAD to share the pain!

Actually - where is your online store of choice for a nice mid-weight muslin? I have some fittings and mockups I need to do, and quite honestly I don't get to leave the house long enough to go to the really good fabric stores personally. I'm looking for dirt cheap and medium weight - these linens look gorgeous and far too nice to use for the trial-patterns I'm talking about.

Oh you suck. I was looking at linen the other day and considering it. Grr.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Um. Sorry?

*sigh* So many sales... so little monetary backing for my wishlist...

And Denver Fabrics is clearing out all their online inventory as well. I've been good and haven't even gone to look.

I love your icon. I really want the fabric that is used as the backdrop. What is that?

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

*lol* I donno....I stole the icon from somebody else.

[greeneyedtengu.livejournal.com]

Let me see if I can hunt down the person who made it and ask them... I know I got a comment from them once on the irony of seeing their fabric in someone else's icon...

Must...not...buy...fabric....

They've got lovely linen at both 5.3oz and 3.5oz. I'm not so great with knowing about fabric by weight, but I'm thinking that the 3.5oz would be the better for things like shirts?

Since I'm in the process of blowing my budget sky-high... maybe I'll think about this just a touch....

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Yes, the 3.5 is perfect for shirts and chemises, not quite handkerchief but close. The 5.3 is better for skirts, in fact, that mossy green skirt I wear a lot is their 5.3; has a lovely hand and washes up beautifully.

*sigh*

Since I'm shattering my September budget anyway, I just got 20 yards of the 3.5oz

Someday I need to find my motivation to actually SEW again! I've not sewn a stitch (by machine) in FOREVER (ok... June)

I SO understand that one....I'm still burned out from the wedding prep but I gotta get busy!

But right now, the sunshine and my new iris bulbs are calling me outside...

I hate you ;)

I can't buy more linen. I haven't made handkerchiefs out of the linen I have already, and we're on a budget.

*grrrr*

Just HAD to point it out, didn't you???

*pbth*

*hehehehe*

Yeah, I and my 35 bins commiserate with you!

I think at this point I'm very happy to be poor! Except of course, I need to make several "Tarot Reader" outfits...

*sigh* You, woman, are a shit-disturber. **runs off to look at pretties**

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

*lol*

Yeah, I know...

[fire-flutterfly.livejournal.com]

*le sigh* if only, if only...

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Um....sorry!
