I used to buy extra fabric and make my girls 'matching' outfits when they were little.... then the youngest would get the oldest's hand-me-downs and those outfits are in photographs of all through their growing up years on one girl or the other! :) Now that I'm sewing for myself, I've accidentally purchased too much fabric for a garment and have made multiples from one piece of fabric. Recently, it was pants and it was interesting to see two different patterns of pants made from the same fabric. Look forward to seeing what (all!) you make! The dress will be pretty.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082175528389542071.post-68618982265198487142014-01-27T22:03:53.356-08:002014-01-27T22:03:53.356-08:00You must have been thinking very grand plans at th...You must have been thinking very grand plans at the time Judith :).

Many years ago I bought 8 yards of 60" wide navy jersey. It was a good sale, but what was I thinking??? Now it's...how fun...navy blue is versatile...figure out interchangeable outfits for spring.

A collection usually means a big jacket or short coat, pants, a pull over top (long or short-sleeved) and a skirt. That's for a start. It could also include a vest and/or an infinity scarf. A hat. A bag. A shawl. Or the whole piece could be used as muslin fabric...depending on what the fabric is. Having that much fabric makes me feel rich and makes me feel that I can experiment. I look forward to seeing your creations. Thank you.<br />BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
