I was really impressed by their range of fabrics and haberdashery. I bought three different fabrics while I was there. I've got plans for one of them, but the two others were spur of the moment purchases. This is what I bought:
They are both light-medium weight knit fabrics. They would be great for tshirts. At the moment I'm struggling to figure out exactly what kind of tshirt I want to make from them. I bought 1m of each fabric. I could make a basic fitted, 3/4 sleeve tshirt, but I think I want something with a bit more drape.
If anyone out there can recommend any patterns I should look at, that would be brilliant. In the meantime, I'm going to wash them both, and stare at them until I am suddenly inspired. I sure hope that works!
LOVE that feather fabric and think it would make up a gorgeous t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I've just drawn up an idea for a tshirt. Now I've got to draft a pattern and get sewing.
