I have just returned from a week in Sydney with somewhat more fabric for the stash than was entirely necessary, but that's what happens when you go fabric shopping at Tessuti and The Fabric Store and it is really only when I visit these stores that I stash add like this. I was joined by the very lovely Amy, Emma and Maria and my sister. This was my first 'in real life' official meeting with fellow bloggers and gosh I was nervous! Luckily the girls were even lovelier than I had imagined them to be and I can't wait to do it again!
My workable* stash of fashion fabric is now at an all time high of 12 pieces.. not counting the boxes and boxes of scrap fabrics that I have. A list of all the fabrics in the stash is on my current project details page.
The top piece is a checked lurex (!) which Emma and I both bought 1.2m of from the Fabric Store. We have a mini challenge going on with this fabric and we have decided that the big reveal of our respective makes will be Valentines Day. If it works I might wear it to a wedding in March.
There is a stretch lace in the pile which I also noticed on Little Betty Sews blog post last night. Also some striped denim for maybe a Ninot Jacket and this cord (sadly only in the Autumn colour way) for another attempt of the Rigel Bomber.
For now, I have another week off to potter around the house with the kids before they go back to school and I go back to work next week, to tidy up the sewing cupboard so I can fit my new fabric in and to finish the Sigma Dress which arrived in the mail while I was away.
*In the interests of disclosure, I also have 2 other pieces that I will probably never use that are sitting on the very top shelf of the cupboard - which I can't reach so forget about them.
