But for some reason I do find the time to buy more and more new fabrics :-) So here is a selection of the things that I have bought and my plans what to make with them.
These are some of my new fabrics. From top to bottom:
- a thick woven yellow and purple tartan
- a thin cotton printed fabric with blue and purple flowers
- a dark blue and coral striped cotton
- a thick cotton fabric with printed leaves in all kinds of greens, browns and yellows
So, what am I planning to make with these fabrics. Well for the tartan I already have a purpose:
I want to make this dress, the wintertime jumper from Gertie's new book for betting sewing. I even have a complete outfit in my head to combine with this dress. I thought of a pale yellow sweater and grey heels or a grey sweater and purple heels. Lots to combine! Pictures will follow.
For the other fabrics I don't really have a set pattern in mind but I have been searching the web and came across to many gorgeous vintage patterns, that it will be very difficult to decide. First some close ups from the other fabrics.
I'm leaning towards this apron dress for the striped fabric, maybe a shirtwaist dress for the blue fabric with the flowers and a dirndl skirt from the fabric with the leave print (it probably is to thick for any other pattern).
Other lovely patterns I came across:
So, hopefully the weather will become a bit colder (can't believe I'm saying this, haha) and I can go back to my sewing!
