This one is for my husband -- I'm going to make him a long sleeved button down shirt. It's a silk/linen blend that arrived a little stiff, but should soften up when it's washed. It's actually much nicer than it looks in the picture.
This is another fabric I was thinking might work for my husband, too, but the checks might be too small for his taste. The pattern is woven into the fabric, so it's textured, too. A very cool piece. If he doesn't like it, I'm going to snatch it for myself.
This one is a stretch lace that I'd like to use to make a cardigan for myself. I got this is two different gray colors, but they're so similar it's hard to tell. I also got a piece in a peachy color for Daughter, thinking she might like a pretty cardigan or scarf herself. No worries. She does :o)
And the last is two pieces (I got pieces from two different manufacturers to see which was better -- they're both pretty good) of royal blue broadcloth. Because Youngest Son looks great in blue. It's definitely his color, and he needs a few button down shirts.
Now I just have to work on my Mini Wardrobe. I'm making slow progress, but progress all the same.
Self indulgence receiving sewing or knitting things in the post, love it.
