So I went to Philadelphia last weekend for a conference, and trekked out to Jo-Mar Fabrics, which is a fabulous warehouse fabric outlet that was having a 50% off sale. Needless to say, I came back with a MAJOR haul, including:
- Wool fabric (plus lining) for two suits — brown wool/rayon and burgundy wool (I’ve got some fabulous mid- and late-1940s patterns that I’m going to put to use)
- Silk for two blouses
- Dress fabric — mystery fabric, lilac rayon, green rayon
- Wool for two skirts
- Plaid silk dupioni — I’m thinking 1840s or 1850s for this(?)
- Green changeable taffeta in a gorgeous shade I haven’t seen before
…plus lining fabric for many of these — all for $200! I swear, I’m set for the next two years’ worth of projects!
