Great fabric deal 100% cotton suiting $1 a yard
marymary86 Intermediate GA USA Member since 7/20/08 Posts: 2198	Login to reply to this post Like this post Subject: Great fabric deal (they added more 9-5) Date: 8/30/12 10:24 AM Marc Jacobs cotton double stripe suiting I ordered 10 yards and it just arrived. The color is less "navy" and more "blue" but it's fine. I priced muslin at Hobby Lobby last week - almost $5 a yard. I snapped up 10 yards of this to make a trial jacket, skirt, and pants. I'm going to try to do my best though and hopefully end up with some more clothes I can actually wear. -- Edited on 9/5/12 12:00 PM -- ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

One of the pictures looks like it has a little sheen to it; would you say that's the case? (I'm trying to decide if it would be appropriate for Renaissance wear. It can be hard to find great fabric in natural fibers, and I love the texture of this one. Of course, by the time I come back to see your answer, it will all be sold out! LOL) ------ ~Gem in the prairie

They asked if I wanted what they had, and I said yes; so it sounds like I got the last of it. ------ 2012 : starting stash 386, net additions 206, used 164, ending stash 428
