I don't normally make New Year's resolutions because if you want to do something you may as well just do it. That said, I went on a bit of a fabric spree after the New Year and have made a resolution not to buy any more fabric for at least six months. These are the last pieces of fabric I'm going to buy for a while.
All of the fabric pieces are vintage from the Last Chintz. This cotton is probably going to be turned into a wiggle dress.
There's only about a metre of this one. I can probably squeeze a wee blouse out of it. Maybe a back button one because, even though they are a pain to get done up, I love them.
I wasn't 100% sure about this one. At first I thought it was kind of 40's, but then I thought it might be a bit too 80's. I'm still not really sold on it but it was only $5 for 3 metres. It will probably be turned into a dress because I really only sew and wear dresses.
Ooohh... they're all lovely but I also LOVE the mod '60's one especially. Will be looking out for the dress you make with that one.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous fabrics, can't wait to see what you make of them :)) Have a sweet week doll xx
ReplyDeleteNow I really like that last daisy print fabric, I'm seeing it as a circle skirt with a floofy petticoat underneath! All of the fabric you chose is beautiful; but no more now, Brodie, and get sewing with what you have! xxx
ReplyDeleteHey sweet......happy new year. Lovely fabrics, can't wait to see what you transform them into.
ReplyDeleteLove v
Oh, the first fabric is so beautiful and strange, love it!
ReplyDeletePah! Resolutions should be broken if you find something special. I love the floral 'one metre blouse' fabric - A great mix of pastels. I think you are right about the bottom one feels 1980's. Perhaps it is the Red in it and the sizes of the flowers. Personally, I think your 40's / 50's looks are the best!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's me, Derek passing through again (Not 'stalker' yet, just back for curiosity...) Oh, I think I will go to an older post and comment on something I really liked.. tc x

ReplyDeleteAll the fabrics shown are just awesome! I just loved them all! And remember one thing "resolutions are meant to be broken" and I assure you that you will also believe in this phrase just after viewing the vintage fabric collections at Full Swing Textiles by visiting http://goo.gl/0zIidE!
ReplyDeleteI really like all the fabrics, but I like the last one the best. It kind of reminds me of Dr. Seuss.
ReplyDeleteI love that mod print. I can see an incredible space age shift dress. x
ReplyDeleteSo I thought you'd disappeared from blogging for a while - turns out my bloglovin' feed decided to delete you! Weirdness - sorry I haven't been around here for a bit. I LOVE that mod print - it is SO amazing,perfect for a rad shift dress. Also that final bit of fabric is dreamy. I'm on a bit of a fabric buying ban too, I have SO much stuff from the Arthur Toye closing down sale and I REALLY need to start to use that stuff up. Thanks for the link to Last Chintz - it looks like an amazing store, hopefully I can check it out one day :D
