My stash is too big. I am officially on a fiber buying diet. This is inspired by a thread on PatternReview's message board. During the discussion some of us talked about some wonderful fabrics we have in our stashes. It was suggested we call it a 'Fabulous Free Fabric Feeding Frenzy'.
I have added a in/out list to the sidebar to help me stay on the diet. Saturday I am going to a workshop by Linda MacPhee sponsored by the local ASG chapter. ASG members who have attend her classes in the past say she is great and has lots of embellishment ideas. They also say she will have patterns, fabric and embellishment supplies to sell. I will need some good willpower (or is that won't power?) on Saturday.
Last week I started a dress from the wool gabardine I bought last month. I am planning on entering this dress in the 'One Fabric - Wool' contest on PR. The bodice underlining (5mm silk habotai) is cut out as are the pieces that I am underlining. 3/4 of the underlining is basted to the wool.
I have also been working on dyeing rayon challis to match a fuchsia pink wool skirt I made last month. I am debating bleaching or over dyeing my second attempt. I really like both fabrics, they just don't match the skirt. I think it is past time for some samples.
