It’s winter in Chicago- a wee bit cold lately. But I am dreaming of wearing my summer dresses, and excited to make more. And I think I am going to shop for some fabrics so I am ready when the weather permits. :) 

Because, you know- I need more fabric. 

I really don’t need fabric though, I recently went to the store and brought a few wools for winter skirts/ dresses. And I have some fabrics I bought last year, I have to stay out of the fabric stores. It’s addictive buying them. I especially like going to the remnants pile at Vogue, so many good deals! 

Fabrics I bought today, mostly wools. Hoping for dresses and or skirts! I may even use the plaid pink for the couture class I have yet to begin.

Fabric I bought from Saturday’s visit to Vogue Fabric’s…

I like raiding remnants pile at fabric stores- specifically Vogue fabrics. I went today and found some nice stuff- my favorites were the gorgeous gray suiting fabrics I found…one has pinstripes! Now to decide what to make. 

A woman went to my workplace today and was wearing a really awesome tee with a uni brow smiley face- it read Viva Frida!. That got me looking for Frida fabric in between quiet time. I found these beauties…will probably buy some in the future for a blouse or dress!

Went to the fabric store and saw these two lovelies. I did not buy them because I do not know what I want to make.

The plaid I think is taffeta and has light pink and gray. My phone sucks so you can’t see it in the photo. The other may be more of an upholstery type- the black feels velvety. I was thinking a circle skirt for that one. Not sure, any ideas?

Love this fabric! Have no idea whose photo it is, or the designer. But wanted to share it.
