I thought I'd start off with some Apricot stretch satin cotton and look at this rayon sweater knit to go with it! They're just begging to be turned into a comfy cool pair of slacks and an amazing knit top, with a sweet little knit topper from this lacy-look sweater knit! Nummm! All from Sawyer Brook Fabrics Or how about some casually sweet but sexy evening wear, such as this gorgeous crinkle cotton gauze for a shell top and jacket! Over Tuxedo Black slacks or skirt of comfy stretch rayon sateen From Gorgeous Fabrics Swit Swoo! Maybe Spring Green is your Thing! If so, how 'bout this wowzer Ann Taylor 100% linen for slacks or skirt, with a Maggie London 100% cotton blouse! And the little lacy knit topper from the Apricot enablings! From Emma One Sock Ahhhhhh...love the springtime smell of fresh fabrics! -- Edited on 4/11/12 0:40 AM -- ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life! And Rupert (Pfaff 2023), Baby (BL Enlighten), Victor (BLCS), Ash (Bernina 350SE), Pal (Bernina 530), Kee (Bernina 750) and the Featherteen Flock! Most of all, I heart Woo (HimmyCat). Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.

Date: 4/11/12 1:13 PM Ooooh, I love your stash collection and I'm such a sucker for floral. What a great find...I'm guessing you already have something whipped up and on to your next piece? ------ Laurie Lou

But I am thinking I have room for that steel grey cotton crinkle. As I'm very narrow in my fabric colors (charcoal family, certain berry reds, certain blues) I like to scout out other color families of fabrics and put them together just for the joy of enabling others. Makes me feel ever so much better with all my fabric stash if I can make other people increase theirs. ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!

Date: 4/13/12 6:01 PM Maggie London floral is on its way to me. I think I will make my dress from my couture class in that. It is way outside my usual style, but so is couture sewing.
