So I went shopping
Dec. 4th, 2015 04:21 pmI dug around in my stash a bit today and found a couple yards of a pretty blue cotton velvet. I drive a million miles into the suburbs to Harris (creepy warehouse fabric store) and got 8 yards of pale blue suiting-weight wool blend for a bustle dress.
I wish I knew the blend but you just don't get that info at Harris. I don't think it's all wool because when I burn-tested it, it did not self-extinguish. It did have a crushable ash, so it's not made of plastic. I am not good at identifying smells with the burn test, so I can't comment on that part. It just smells like something is burning to me. :)
So yeah, I bought new fabric. Maybe I can bump this up in the queue and have it ready for the Victorian Ice Skating event next month. Or maybe I will get distracted again.
