So, they did have the B5382 I went in for...
...but who on earth can go in a fabric store and not browse ??? Not me LOL !
I've got my eye on the lace dress in the March Burda and was looking at the 'good stuff' to see what I could find. So, I looked at the silks, the laces, etc...and wandered the store.
At the remnant bin, I saw a piece of blue (kind of teal) that looked remarkably like the silk charmeuse I'd just looked at. It was marked 1.2 m for $4.00 - I grabbed it and went to check if it was actually the same fabric. IT WAS !!! Then I noticed the sale tag on the remnant bin.
Silk charmeuse - regular price $34.99/m
1.2m piece from the bin - $4.00
Sale on remnant bin - 50% off
You do the math... :-)
Now I'm off to dig through my patterns to see what I can make with just 1.2m of 45" wide fabric.

ReplyDeleteClaire are you going to join in the Fabricville contest? I guess I will.
I've got the Vogue version of your Butterick dress. I'm thinking of little Black Dress.
Nice find for the silk! I really need to get around to that Butterick.
