I never met a fabric sale I didn't like...
Apologies in advance for the phone camera shots. Not only did my nice camera's battery die, but it also started to snow as soon as I went outside for some nice picture-taking light. But I perservered. Read on...
The gods were truly smiling upon me yesterday. I went with my mother for our once-or-twice-weekly trip to Joann Fabric yesterday, and they were having an un-advertised special on their clearance fabric. EVERYTHING was $1/yd. Needless to say, I went a little crazy.
6 yds: skirt / blazer set for work. It's blue and brown, in case you can't tell.
5 panels: skirt? dress? wall hanging? It's a nice bottomweight type fabric with a hint of stretch. The fact that it's in panels will be a challenge. Each panel consists of the flower that you see, on a gray background. Each flower is about two feet by three feet.
Almost 3 yds: summer shirt
3 yds: overlay for a formal black dress. Organza + beading = love.
I started blocking my Starsky, at long last. I'm just taking the two front pieces off of my highly technical bloacking board (*ahem*foam core board*ahem*), and pinning the back on. I'm hoping to have a FO for you guys soon!
Here's a sneak peak at one of the items in my swap package for raina.storms. I hope to send out tomorrow!

Oh my! You got quite the loot there. I love the flowers on the gray background, so pretty. The herringbone (that is called herringbone, right, the blue and brown one?) is cool, too. Should look great on you. And the stuff for the formal dress...wow!
