New Fabric For My Stash!

Yay! The lady at church lived up to her word and gave me another stack of fabric to bring home and play with. And I have already done something with it today-see my later post.

Again, she emphasised that they were all natural fibers-wools, linens and cottons-nothing synthetic-well, except for some Bemberg linings. They are more than 20 years old, but are in amazingly good condition.

But I have no idea what to make with this. I'm not sure it's a colour that would suit me. The only thing I could come up with was to make a light blanket! Surely that's a little sacrilegious?

I think it would make a beautiful winter skirt-gored of course. Maybe a matching jacket?

Would make a lovely white suit.

And the lady threw in a jewellery travel bag.

I love all the fabrics I got today. It almost filled up a 55-litre plastic storage box I just got last week! Now I have 4 of those boxes all filled up with fabric!
