The Fat Lady has sung...

... So Parons East has closed its doors... but not before they coughed up the fabric that they owed me!! Shoot!

Here is the 100% wool jersey I got to coordinate with the stretch poly-cotton black and tan leaf print fabric... The picture doesn’t really do the subtle colors justice, so you'll have to trust me when I say the match is on point.

Aaannndddd, since I'd come all that way and all, I gave the place a quick run thru to see if there was anything else I wanted.

Apparently there was...

I dug in the proverbial crates and found the very last of this super stretchy/super soft broadcloth (top fabric). This is probably one of my most favorite fabs ever (I bought several tops from Old Navy last fall in this self-same quality!) Alas, it was only two yards. But, PLEASE believe me when I say I plan on using every scrap.

I also decided to pick up the black Italian linen (bottom fabric) that I put back yesterday in favor of the pique. It’s really high quality and was, apparently, very expensive. Even at 75% off, it was almost 1/3 of what I spent yesterday on 8 different fabrics combined!

At the last minute, I decided to throw in a soft and drapey muted cheetah print fabric in faded grey and tan (middle fabric)... I hemmed and hawed over it yesterday. But since it was getting thrown in gratis, I thought why not.

Since it WAS free, I decided to use it to play with the neck line of old faithful...
It came out pretty okay, I guess...
But, I think I need still need to do some adjustments to the waist as it's pretty much looking like a giant pillow case with neck and arm holes cut into it... but the fab is super soft and drapey and it feels great on... so it’s a high quality pillow case at least...lol.


Holla!
