Merino Wool for Sale on Etsy

If you want some, I just put it on Etsy. I used to have just three colors, blue, gray, and green. Now I have six! It’s 100% Hi-wick Polyester face and 100% Merino wool grid back. It’s 58” wide and amazing. My Etsy Shop.

These are all things I have made with this fabric. Happy shopping! Mwaaa haaa haaa.

I just put a few fabrics on Etsy.

Just letting you guys know I put some things on Etsy.

I put on some of the Nike Dri-Fit in Navy Blue.

 

I put some Nike Dri-Fit in Black.

 

I put on some of the Polartec Powerstrech in the Electric Blue.

 

There is still a little bit of the merino wool knit in brown.

 

And a little bit in the greenish color.

 

There is also some green stripey fabric.

Yummy Merino Wool! Again!

I found more of this fabric. Many of you guys wanted the brown color and I got some more!!!! I have the same two colors as last time so I’m using the same post and pictures. You’ll probably remember it from earlier this year in January. This stuff sold out in less than 24 hours. You fabric-hoarders, you.

 

This is from the January post:

I put that fabric on Etsy. I have that Merino Wool (from the Jalie tunic) in two colors. I love the dark brown and the soft green colors.

This is Wool Plaited Polartec Powderdry. It’s a two-faced fabric (do I need to make the joke again?). One face is 100% merino wool and the back face is 100% hi-wick antimicrobial polyester. This fabric is designed to be used in athletic, sports, and outdoor wear. It is 60" wide. There is no visible shrinkage when washed in warm water and dried in a warm dryer. There is 40% stretch across the grain and 30% stretch lengthwise.

I am selling it on Etsy in 2-yard increments. If you want more or less, I can do that too. :) Isn’t it lush?

Heathered Brown

 

Heathered Soft Green on Etsy

Nike Dri-Fit, I have some more!!!!

I managed to get my grubby hands on two more bolts of the Nike Dri-Fit Brush-Back knit. I’ll stick it on Etsy this morning. It’s in 2-yard chunks but if you want more or less, let me know.

Polartec Powerstretch Hardface Fleece + Jalie 2679

I’m not done working on my jacket but I just wanted to share what I’ve been working on lately. I decided to make myself a cozy jacket from Jalie 2679. I’ve made this jacket a few times before and it’s always a winner. I wish Jalie would just start looking to Athleta for inspiration (why can’t they make me a pattern for these pants? or these?) and make some patterns for their fantastic clothing. I’ve never bought anything from Athleta but I love their stuff. So bright, so fun, so functional! Anyway, I figured this pattern would be the perfect thing for this new fabric I have. I’m going to make the main body out of the charcoal gray and the arms will be the Nike Dri-Fit fabric in black.

I also put some of this fabric up in the Etsy store for ya’ll. You guys bought up my Nike Dri-Fit and Dri-Fit Pants material in a few hours. I did talk to my supplier and once I know the the two new bolts are on their way to me (yes, I said two more bolts!!!) I will sell my stock of that black fabric. That’ll take a day or two though. I will let you know if it happens.

Nike Dri-Fit + Jalie 2215 = <3 <3 <3

No, it’s not a typo. I made an entire outfit out of Nike fabric and Jalie 2215. I made the top a few days ago and now the pants. I’ve made these pants before and used the same modification as my Halloween pants from a couple years back. The only thing different I did this time was to increase the waistband (I made it out of self-fabric folded in half). This Nike stuff has so much stretch and recovery, I made it 4” less than my waist/hip measurement and it’s perfect. You can see in the picture below that there is a small amount of gathering at the band. When I wear them, those tucks go away.


Here’s the front with the waistband folded down.


Here you can see the side with the waistband up. I will probably wear it up for the winter because it keeps all those chills off my back. I think the seam halfway across my butt makes my butt look smaller too. Always a bonus if you ask me. I left the lower legs looser because I sometimes wear longer and thicker socks in the winter and I hate having skinny ankles to mess with.


Here’s the back of the pants. You can see I added a CL (that’s Center Leg, duh!) seam to the pants like last time. I kinda like it. I should probably take a picture of the back, duh.


I did put some of this on Etsy. Only eight yards. Yea, I’m a selfish bitch and want to keep most of it for myself. But guys, it’s so COZY and SOFT! I can make running pants for all my kids! Really, I love it that much!

Nike Dri-Fit + Jalie 2215 = <3

Here’s the gray (anthracite) Nike Dri-Fit fabric married to Jalie 2215. I’ve made this top numerous times. It is certainly a winner. In this version, I lengthened the arms, added thumbs holes, and added a high neck band for added warm-fuzziness.

I can also say it has been approved as a cold-weather layering top. I put this on as my base layer and put a windbreaker on over it (it’s been in the 30’s when I run) and went for a run. It wicks with the best of my running tops. Of course, I guess that makes sense. It is Nike wicking fabric.

 

I added some fun Urban Threads embroidery to the lower back.

 

Here you can see it a little bit better.

 

Here it is all spread out. If you don’t have Jalie 2215, you should get it (it’s out of print but you can still get the electronic download). It’s a kid and adult pattern and has this raglan tee (I’ve made numerous times!), a stretch boot running pant (made that a few times too!), and a cute skirt (never made that).

 

I know you guys want to buy some of this fabric. I will put some stuff up in my Etsy shop. I think I’ll sell it in 2 yard increments but you can do a custom order for more or less yardage. I’m only putting 12 yards of it up for sale. Enjoy!

Here's a description of the fabric:
Dri-Fit Stretch Fabrics - Hi-Wick Comfort Paired with Lycra Stretch and Return
The Dri-Fir series features advanced wicking performance developed for active individuals. Specially formulated hydrophobic polyester fibers move heat generated body moisture away from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric. The enhanced dissipation of this moisture on the outer surface results in rapid evaporation, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable. The lycra content adds plenty of stretch for active comfort as well as great fit.

Machine Details and Etsy

I called a different small Sew n' Vac place in town and they had the Janome 350e stand-alone unit. Boy am I glad you guys steered me towards the stand-alone version. It is cool to watch the designs print out but it would not be cool if I was trying to get some sewing done. Now I have three machines lined up in a row. The Janome on the left, a Viking Madison, and my Viking Huskylock 936. I had to do quite a bit of re-arranging and removing to get everything back in place. I plan to make some pajamas for my kids so that will be a perfect embroidery project.

Which brings me to Etsy. Etsy allows people to sell handmade things or supplies. Last year when I found inexpensive roll ends from Patagonia, I went a little buck wild. I ordered five bolts and boy do I still have a lot of it. I just posted some of the fabric on Etsy. I just want to re-coup my expenses so I put it on Etsy for cheap. It's great fabric but I need the space and I have so much left. I'm putting it on in two or three yard sections. You've seen the fabric before. I've made several great jackets from it. I have five different colorways of it. Yes, I know, I'm insane. Anyway, if you want some high-quality fleece, there you go. And I'm not trying to work my way into the fabric-selling arena. I'm totally not trying to horn in on Ann but I have a butt load of fabric to get out of this room. My Etsy shop is cabinbaby.etsy.com if you want to stop by and browse.
