And it's my first time buying from Mood! And they even mail you your fabric in their famous Mood bag! Some day I will go to NYC visit them in person... but I digress. Here is my Georgia Dress fabric:
Thanks for all your input! I decided to go with some mid-weight cotton/lycra sateen in black. As awesome as an amazing print dress would be, I realized that I don't actually own a LBD and thought this would be a great oppurtunity to fill that gap in my closet. But I did also order a swatch of that yellow Oscar de la Renta tribal print.
Ordering swatches?! From Mood?! I feel like such a big, grown-up, sewing blogger now! And while I am spending a little more now on higher quality fabrics, I was surprised to find some of the options really reasonable, like my sateen at $8/yard.
Also, my StyleARC patterns arrived and are in progress, so stayed tuned for a update on those projects!
Lovely fabric. Looking forward to hearing about your StyleARC patterns. I have the Susan top but haven't started it yet.
ReplyDeleteThe Susan Top looks like a great basic! I'm working on the Elle pants and the Marie jacket.
DeleteOooooh wonder what the shipping rates to Australia are!! $8/yard is reasonable!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... Wouldn't hurt to throw a few yards in your cart and see what the totals come to? :)

Sadly the shipping to Australia is extortionate - I was about to order 2 yds. of fabric for about $40 and the postage was $36! I think I'll have to save up my purchases and do a lifetimes worth of shopping in person one day instead!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric....
