Uh oh. Fell off the fabric wagon . . .

I've been really good all summer. Well, not today, folks, not today. I just went to Fabric.com and bought:



Two Matte Jerseys (can you say wrap dresses?),



three Cotton Baby Jersey Knits (I must be needing some color in my life),




two RPLs for work pants,






and a Slub Rayon Jersey Knit . Sounds interesting and I love the color.




I also got a swatch of this Orina Nylon activewear fabric. I wanted to see if it would be good for workout tops.


Remember that I get kickbacks from Fabric.com. If you click on one of my links and buy, I get a commission. Just want to be out in the open about that! I'll let you know how I like all the fabrics once I receive them in the mail. I just NEEDED fabric. I had an itch I needed to scratch!

    All very nice, but that Rayon really does sound neat. Please let us know more when you have it in hand.

    Hey Dawn, great fabrics!!! Fabric.com had a great selection of matte jerseys recently. I bought one for a wrap dress as well. They're great for the transition from Summer to Fall. Have fun sewing them all up!!!

    I love that blue matte jersey print...I almost fell off the wagon with that one, but I am holding out to buy Liberty of London...actually in London! Hope to make it there...we'll see what my grandson has to say about it!

    Very nice! How did I not see these the last time I placed a fabric.com order?

    I bought that blue print (upper left) when it was on sale about a week ago. I am dying to see it in person and I hope I won't be disappointed!

    Please do report on the fabrics. I have had mostly bad experiences with fabric.com fabrics.

    So pretty! Please report back on the rayon slub jersey - from the description it sounds like it will be too light to be used for a dress I'm considering, but I'd love your feedback. Thanks. :)

    I'm glad I'm not alone. I resisted temptation for, I don't know, a whole month? But fell last night.

    HI-- I actually have a question about your Channel jacket you made with the fabric from Fabric.com. I also purchased the same fabric and am considering using to it to make a coat for the latest coat sew along. Did you match the fabric at the seams?

    Oh, good! Does this mean that you'll be sewing (and blogging) again soon? I hope so!
