PROJECTS COMPLETED:
3) I made three lounge bras using the new Made for Mermaids Mama Bridgette pattern. For bras and muslin, I used a total of 2.5 yards - mostly from stash, but also from two cuts of power mesh that I had bought for this purpose. Completed 2/13. Two of them pictured below.
6) I made a muslin of a tote bag (it needed a muslin because I'm custom-making it to fit a lawn game my brother-in-law is developing). 2/3 yard used. Completed 2/15.
PURCHASES:
I fell hard during a FabricMart pre-cut sale and bought the following, which ended up working out to $1.89/yard including shipping:
- 4 5/8 yd black linen (I mean, how could I possibly resist) which I vaguely want to use to make a button-down shirt and maybe some pants.
- 4 yards of a rayon/lycra jersey in a gorgeous green shade - this is unabashedly for the stash.
- 3 yards of cotton/rayon/lycra jersey in eggplant - I'm thinking another Blackwood cardigan or M6996 for this one.
- 3 yards cute floral interlock for little girl pjs.
- 2 5/8 yards stretch denim for a jeans muslin.
- 5 yards muslin at $1/yd
Also purchased:
1 yard shaper mesh from Cali Fabrics to make a lounge bra. Gift card.
1 yard cotton lycra jersey, 1 yard black stretch lace and 1/2 yard teal stretch lace from Walmart to make lounge bras/underwear. About $10.
2.25 yards ripstop nylon from Joann's to finish the picnic blanket.
1/2 yd power mesh from Joann's. About $2 with my coupon.

FABRIC IN/OUT TALLY:
IN: 28.5 yards
OUT: 16.5 yards.
So ... I've bought 52.25 yards of fabric already and it's only March. I don't yet regret any of my purchases and I feel like they will get used soon, but I do need to slow down a bit.

That's a goodly amount of very useful items made! It seems like everything you are buying has a specific purpose in mind.
ReplyDeleteI love this round up of all your fabric in and out. Hopefully the fabric in will slow down soon (If thats what you want). I find that I tend to do my buying in sprees. One month I'll buy a lot and the next month nothing. All your finished makes look beautiful.
