Fabric purchases

I bought fabric at Atlantic

Fabrics in Truro. Found out I missed out on a cool dragonfly print that sold out in record time. But I got two cool batiks from Bayan Batiks. 

Also a photo of cotton prints I bought from fabricville for stress sewing after Terry packed all my woven cotton prints. 

Some you might recognize in dresses already sewn. Notice the nautical themes & fishies. 

Went to Club Tissu

Sunday I went to club Tissu.Was hoping to get some baby cotton knits and possibly some white snap tape. Realized they no longer have a baby cotton knit collection at the one in Laval. I guess it didn't sell well last year so they no longer have it. Instead they had cotton knit prints for close to $30 a meter. Bleah.

I did find 2 types of baby terry cloth for $5.65 a meter, that was a great price, bought a meter of each, and I found a Rayon knit that I knew if I didn't get Sunday I would never get.

Rayon is green-blue, the terry cloth is the bright colours.

Underwear pattern

They had the Jalie men's underwear pattern I wanted.  But they didn't even have white snap tape. They had dark blue and black. Who would use that for baby wear?

I had to get my white snap tape at Fabricville today.

Love the new Spring Rayons

Fabricville had a 2 day sale with 50% off their spring fabrics. I went after work yesterday with my bf to check out the rayons.

The reddish-green one is a Rayon poplin, the softest rayon ever. The green and black one is a voile, so thin, so nice. The bluish print is a crinkled rayon. I haven't found any in years.  Very happy. Now I have so many dresses to make.. Oh My!

More Fabrics!

Sunday despite working overnight, my sweetie took me to the Fabricville in Laval so I could see if there was anything else I wanted for 50% off with a coupon.

Fabric I got for $2 a meter

More baby terry cloth, this one a dark pink with hearts and Terriers

I found some fabrics in the liquidation area for $2 a meter. One is a lacy flowery cotton, the other is a greenish turquoise stretch poplin.   Both can be used to make small summer dress.

There was a sale!

Fabricville is having a 3 day sale with a 50% coupon. Today I bought the red butterfly batik with the 50% coupon. Paid $30 for it instead of $60. I also picked up some green rayon knit. Normally $19.99 a meter, got 2 meters for $14.00.

Toby loved the red butterlly batik

New fabrics to sew...oh my

One of my friends went to New York City for the Thanksgiving week-end and brought me back some fabric. All the fabrics shown except for the red bottom left and teal bottom right come from NYC. 

The two Navajo prints are cotton knits, the other fabrics are stretch sateens. Best of both worlds, a cotton fabric with a bit of stretch. Woot.  The two teal pieces are both Rayon knits. Ièm not crazy about the shiny sheen on the darker knit, but it seems it might make a spectacular evening dress. 

Tonight I wash all this fabric. Last night I could just look at it in awe Note the two fabrics that didn't come from NYC were picked up at Fabricville at lunch yesterday. The teal I'd been thinking about since Saturday. The red sateen, I knew would match the red printed sateen, so I had to have it, especially at buy 1 metre get 2 free. Usually can make a dress in 2 metres. The extra meter can be used for accents for another dress.
