Fabric, ever more.

After this lot, I'm back into trying not to aquire any more for a while. I was proud of making a little room in the fabric storage, but not enough to put this lot away. Better get sewing.

This sort of post is the closest I get to recording my stash.

-Gold corduroy- bought for the colour. 1.2m @ $9/m. Likely a skirt of some sort.
-Purple fine herringbone twill wool. 2m @ $7/m. Hose?
-Beige fine wool flannel (with a little hard to avoid these days elastane) 1.2m @ $23.8m. This is hard fabric to find, especially in anything other than dark suiting colours, hence me paying closer to proper retail prices. This was 30% off at the fabric store. I mean to divided this and dye separately before making hose. I need some new pairs.
-Glorious sky blue mid weight felted wool. $3.7m@$15/m. Not sure how this will behave but I love the colour.
-Black/chocolate checked fine plain weave wool suiting. 2.5m @ $8/m. I'm thinking full street wear skirt.
-Red thin wool coating with hairy nap. 3m@$15/m
-Mulberry mid weight wool twill 3.5m@ $6/m.

So where are the good fabric shopping places these days anyway? Is there still that one in Sunshine? I keep thinking I should wander out there one day when I'm in Melbs.

the cord and flannel are from "The Fabric Store" which had a sale on. The rest are from Eliza's in Sunshine. I also shop at Darn Cheap, Brunswick Fabric and Rathdowne Fabrics. All of these are bolt end shops so stock is completely random.

Thank you, I will try and make a note of all those for next time I'm down that way :) Rathdowne's out of my way but I'm in Brunswick occasionally, and Sunshine is sort-of-vaguely on the way.

Welcome. Rathdowne is in Brunswick these days. Near the corner of Victoria and Lygon.
