Dammit!

My stash continues to grow at an alarming rate. I need to sew more and buy less! But they gave me a coupon. Doesn’t that make it okay?

I bought a few wovens which I normally don’t do. I also bought some fun suitings.

Cotton Voile in a fun paisley teal. I may use this to make a faux CAbi skirt like this one.

A cotton lawn. Another border print. I’m very into spring right now. These are not normally colors I would wear.

A pretty blue and green rayon woven shirting.

I can never resist a good charcoal gray knit. I bought the jersey and the 1 x 1 rib knit that matches it.

I must really be into spring because I never wear pink. Well, except today because I’m wearing pink and I can imagine this wool suiting as an awesome pencil skirt. All the wool suitings are on sale right now. I also bought this black and cream houndstooth.

I couldn’t resist this raw silk suiting. It’s also a black and cream weave.

This was my most expensive purchase. It’s an animal print nylon for a new swimsuit. I am going out of the state and to nice warm places several times this summer so Momma needs a new, crazy-print swimsuit! Where do you guys find good swimsuit lining material? I have hooks and all the notions, just very little lining fabric.
