![Fabric Haul and Project Plans, January 2017
Starting the new year off with new materials and plans!
Blog post version of this video, with photos of the material and reference images: https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/fabric-haul-and-future-projects-january-2017/
Where I got the things I bought:
Diana’s Fabric: copper silk shantung, maroon/dark pink brocade, mustard colored poly shantung
Fabric Express: orange brocade, stretch velvet, alencon lace, wool suitings, pink/gold brocade
Hamed Fabrics: striped grey fabric, striped silk broadcloth, pink cotton sateen
Fabrics for Less*: off white silk shantung, embroidered mesh lace, pink lace fabric
Jo-anns: red cotton satten, green faille, green mesh
Joyce Trims: lace trim, ribbon trim
H.M. Fabrics: pink brocade (the one I ranted about)
*I believe this is still their name - they are under new ownership and I don’t know if the name has changed, but it’s at the same location.
