Yesterday my cousin and I went to check out a little fabric shop in town, Yellow Bird Fabrics. Fantastic little store. It also happened to coincide with my registering for another Craftsy class, "Sew Retro: The Starlet Suit Jacket" (classes are 50% off this week!). Less because I'm into vintage or vintage-inspired patterns and more because I want to learn to make jackets. I had this idea that I wanted an eggplant-purple jacket because I love purple (almost as much as I love blue!) but casually perusing a few online fabric shops did not turn up anything quite right. However, at Yellow Bird I found a wool suiting in exactly the right shade of purple! Also some slate-blue linen/rayon that I bought to make pants.



The print on the left is a poly charmeuse I got at Joann today. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it, but could never quite convince myself it wasn't too much for a blouse. I think it'll make a fantastic jacket lining, though. Overall I'm quite pleased (though I spent quite a bit more than I planned to!)
