A pair of pants & shirt that need minor repairs. BUT, on the floor
beside beside it is the fabric I scored at a church sale!
(A local church had a member who had a MAJOR stash and when she decided
she couldn't sew anymore, donated it to the church. It took them 2
weeks to measure it for the sale.)
So, white linen & cotton for chemises; fuschia, teal & black wool &
cotton heavy knits (some of it Pendleton!) suitable for suits & pants.
Brown linen for a tunic, or maybe mundane pants; enough white drapery
sheers yardage to veil the whole frelling Barony, /including/ the belly
dancers. Some Stretch & Sew bathing suit & blouse patterns for a
quarter a piece.
And, best of all, a 4yd, 60 wide light blue piece of heaviest weight
Ultrasuede for $20 BUCKS. <Gloat, gloat gloat.> I will Never wear that
color, but it is my best friend's favorite shade and she fondled it but
didn't buy. So I did buy it & I put it in her bag, saying, "here's your
Xmas present". It just revolted my soul (as a former Joann's employee)
to leave that buttery soft piece of gorgeousness behind!
So, now I'm at /least/ 8 projects further behind! But d@mn, that woman
had Taste!
