That is...Ah yes, a "curated collection". That is what I shall call mine also. I knew exactly where you found that lovely fabric as soon as I saw the picture! Emmaonesock never disappoints, and so often inspires. Many of the pieces in my curated collection were discovered there. I feel so much better about my stash, thank you.Elle Dechenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271840978047490934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-82613226919355767412015-05-25T17:09:17.714-04:002015-05-25T17:09:17.714-04:00Beautiful color combination.

For this fabric I bought 3 yards because I want to make a dress...not sure if I want one with a straight or flared skirt so that's why the extra yardage. A jacket gets 2 or 2.5 yards depending upon the width. I only buy a yard when I'm buying the fabric for the grandbabies.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-5038381057750537782015-05-25T08:30:28.444-04:002015-05-25T08:30:28.444-04:00When you buy fabric "because you like it"...When you buy fabric "because you like it" - which I always want to do - how much do you buy? I have a few 1-yard impulse purchases that I can't do anything with because all the patterns I like call for 1-1/2 or 2 yards or more. :( Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098306304476046713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-58524843563670834252015-05-25T02:54:23.519-04:002015-05-25T02:54:23.519-04:00Gorgeous fabric!
