I went in yesterday to get this:
 |
| embroidered cotton |
Isn't that cute? I had seen it the other day when I was at Vogue getting the zipper for my third Ginger skirt. I decided to try out the new (free download!) Sorbetto Top pattern from Colette. It's dotted swiss, one of my favorite fabrics:
Well, by the time I walked out, I had this:
 |
| Oops! |
Look at these lovelies! I just couldn't resist!
 |
| Cotton voile! I LOVE voile! This might become another Sorbetto, or I might try copying the pattern of a top I bought from Boden years ago and love. |
 |
| More cotton voile! How could I not bring this adorable print home?! |
 |
| Heavier cotton with 4% lycra. border print! I'm a total sucker for border prints! This will become a skirt. Because I don't have enough skirts. |
 |
| More embroidered cotton, gauze this time. My camera wouldn't capture it, but this is a bright tangerine orange. And you know how happy that makes me! This will be a Sorbetto too. |
I did show some restraint though - there were a few other fabrics I wanted but passed on. For now. The best part? I got all this, plus a zipper for the skirt, for $34! And that's including our exorbitant Chicago sales tax! Yay!
I completely understand...you accidentally bought these other fabrics, and I can't blame you one bit...total cuteness!
ReplyDeleteBetween the knitting and the nail polish, I often tell myself sewing is NOT a hobby I need to pick up. :) You might be changing my mind. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI guess it wouldn't be as much of an accident if I went back and got the others I wanted . . .
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the sewing bug will pass; it usually does. But for now, I'm kind of obsessed!
