I bought some more fabric while in the cheap shop in Lewisham. They had loads of choice in there for £1 a metre and the rest of the shop was like an aladdin's cave. I didn't have much money on me at the time so I just bought three fabrics at £1 a metre, I got two metres of each as that is enough to make a top out of. I have already used one piece for my last top, and these are the other two I bought.
This one is a similar fabric to the other one I used, an open weave with a printed pattern on it. It is very pretty and will make a nice top and hopefully a bag as well. I don't know what style of top to make yet, I haven't decided.
This is the other fabric that was just £1 a metre, it is a nice soft man made fabric and will also make a lovely top. This fabric is more flowing than the other one.
I went in the local charity shop yesterday and found a nice bit of fabric in there which was a bonus as I don't usually find fabric in there. The piece looks to be about 2 metres or may be a bit more, I haven't measured it yet. It cost me £2.99 which is a good price again. It is a chiffon like fabric.
The photo makes it look shiny but it isn't, it is just the light from the flash on the fabric. I am hoping to get myself a top out of it and also one for my eldest daughter as well.
You are so lucky to find such beautiful fabric's :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the blouses and just wish I could make clothes but I end up getting in a muddle :(
I wish I could get fabric so cheaply you lucky thing. You have done a really good job with your tops.
