I went to Fabricland this weekend. I went there for two things. The first one being this vest and tie pattern.
And the second being the wine coloured fabric.
The white floral fabric wasn’t what I was looking for, but it was so pretty I bought it. It was on sale for $5 a meter. The tie pattern was on sale for $10 and some cents, and the velvety fabric was in an end bin on sale for $10.20 from $40.80! I want to surprise my spouse with some homemade ties. I haven’t found fabric for it yet, but I know I’ll have fun looking. The velvet fabric is for a project. I have a silver-plated brush set and I want to make a pretty box for it. I found an empty cutlery box at a thrift store and now I just need some foam. I’m going to make a long skirt with the floral patterned fabric. So I went to Fabricland for velvet fabric and the tie pattern. This is also what I left with:
A huge pattern haul of 29 sewing patterns. They were in the discard bin and half off of the discarded price! They were all $3 or less! Some were even $1! I frequently browse the thrift stores for fabric and now I have a huge supply of patterns for them.
These four patterns are my favourite, the blue shirt being my absolute favourite. I love all three of these dresses. I doubt I’ll ever wear the formal dress, but it’s so beautiful. Heck, I’ll wear it at home for a romantic date night. The striped dress pattern is so fantastic because it’s not the fabric that is striped, it’s the pattern. I love it! The other dress is very cute too and also practical. I will be making that one soon if I have the fabric for it.
Out of all of them, this was probably my least favourite, but I will still make it. It might turn out to be one I love. I don’t have a shirt like that. I have enough patterns to last me a long time now. I was going to sew this weekend, but instead of the rain that was supposed to happen today, we now have sunshine. So, nature awaits us and our pups. I hope you all are having some sunshine today. Sewing will have to wait!
