So what does 40+ yards of fabric look like?
Sheer. 5 yards. I bought this because the pattern is awesome, and it matched a green bikini I have perfectly. This will be a beach coverup/sarong.
Slightly sheer. 5 yards. Unfortunately, this picture does the fabric no justice. It is a beautiful dull gold, with black velvet flocked cherry blossoms. I'll use this as an overlay on a simple black evening dress.
Lightweight silky print. 6 yards. I've actually already made a (90% complete) dress out of this fabric. It's a pain to work with, but I love the pattern. not sure yet what this will be.
Denim with copper print. 3 yards. Yes, I know it'a kind of tacky. My shopping partner pointed this out to me. However. I think that used in serious moderation as an accent on purses and wallets, this could be really cool. Stay tuned to see if it ends up looking like a hot mess.
Heavyweight green denim. 2 2/3 yards. Love the color. This will be a fitted blazer.
Cotton. 3 yards. I have no idea what I'll do with this. But aren't the colors great?
Lightweight silky print. 4 yards. The wild child in me screams "Make a dress!" But I know in my heart of hearts that I am not capable of wearing such a bold fabric head to toe. A fluttery tank/shirt, maybe? Lining for a blazer?
Poly blend. 2 yards. Skirt for work.
Poly blend. 3 yards. Another skirt for work.
Cotton. 3 yards. Yet another skirt for work. The white flowers are printed on, and the gray ones are flocked over top. Looks better in person.
All in all, a *very* fruitful trip to the fabric store. :) Now, someone please put a zap collar on me so I don't go back for a good long time!

Wow!!! You got some rockin' fabric there. Funny, that 5 yards of sheer, first thing that popped in my head was "sarong!!" ^_^
Hey, you didn't put the bar in for the dress you're almost done with :P
That green denim will be great for you ^_^
Ouhhhhh, I'm so not showing my niece that pink/green cotton lol. I'd never hear the end of that (anything pink and the girl goes nuts!). I can't wait to see what you'll make with that.
As for the bold print fabric, how about an A-line flowy skirt with a blazer that has that as lining?
Man, so much awesome stuff...you'd better be a crafting fiend, because I want to see everything! ^_~
