So back to the post... I bought some fabric again, I know that just a few days ago I promised myself not to do it any more, but they had 20% off the whole week! And they have some very cheap remnants...
First a happy strike! Remember I wanted to do my 80s dress but was afraid the whole time I wouldn't have enough fabric - there way a miracle or something similar and I found a 2 meter remnant piece! Now I can play a bit more with the pattern. And it cost me 6 eu. It is a a silk cotton blend with a subtle sheen.
Photos are enlargeable once again.
Then two fabric at 1.99 (without the 20%!). They are 40% silk and 60% cotton and I think something like a voile. The first one is for my mum, cause I think it is totally something she will like.
Second is something I totally like. It will be reborn in a shirt dress, maybe with a 60s vibe.
In my mind a good old fashioned plaid is getting hip again. It needs only an unusual shirt pattern. It is 100% cotton and I got it for the same price as the above. I think even ruffles can work with this one.
And this is a 100% silk I got some weeks ago for 3 eu per meter. Not sure if I like it that much. It was just cheap and silk in the same time and I couldn't resist. It will make a good dress maybe. Any suggestions?
I must stop buying fabrics...
Update: Yes! It was the clock widget! I killed it so everything is OK!

That first fabric is lovely and interesting. I hope to see the finished product! Regarding the error message, I see it too. Could it be the "Date & Time" widget in the upper right hand corner not loading? That shows up blank for me.
Glad to see your blog working again!
The fabrics are great and I can see why you broke your promise, although such thing shouldn't be done, really not...
I love the last one a lot, although it's totally not my style, not my colours above all. But I think it will look awesome on you!
I'm such a sucker for silk and silk blends so I completely understand your breakdown! I think the last one, the one you are unsure of, would do really well as a tunic dress (or shirt, depending) but something with a large round collar maybe? Also, what a find on the leather piping!
Hi Geri,
This week I had a problem visiting your blog! Firt I thought that the problem was mine with my internet, but I tried in another computer and the same error appeared!
But finally the problem is solved!
This fabrics are amazing! I like specially the first and de last! They have great colors and the first fabric...is the rainbow on fabric!
I bought fabrics too this weekend.
oh, that 80s fabric is WONDERFUL, i think i would be afraid to wreck it and would hang it on a wall and stare adoringly at it. and how about the azalea dress for your silk? or... i bet you would make a stunning jonny.
Hm, Oona, I did hang it on the wall and stared at it for like 2 months now. But there I had only 1.20 meter. Now I have 3.2 meter! I can cut and wreck some parts... although in my head I am thinking about a dress AND a blouse now...
Beautiful fabrics! I also cannot resist a good fabric; I try to keep my distance from the fabric store but I always end up giving in!!
