I've finally received the fabric the other day, and it's all laundered and ready to go. Only now I've lost the impetus to start due to the long wait for the fabric. Please help me find it and get started!

Fabric arrived! I just received my fabric from Japan and it was wrapped very well. It is soooooo beautiful! I think this is my favorite: I am going to make 3 lovely dresses for Katsucon...very excited! I still have to purchase some broadcloth in order to make a plain lolita dress which will have embroidery put on it. So, this means I will only be using 2 out of the 4 japanese...

...day overall was far better than Monday. In general, folks at work were especially nice to me after about 10 AM, too, which was a little disturbing. Some of you have been having trouble opening the fabric spreadsheet, so [Unknown LJ tag] SILKS silk taffeta, 45", lilac/orange shot. 6 yds @ $10.00 = $60.00 silk dupioni, 45", black cherry. 4.5 yds @ $8.00 = $36.00 washed silk dupioni, 42", mulberry...

... really, REALLY don't need more things to make right now. ANYHOW. At one point, when I was digging around on the bottom shelf of the novelty prints in the kids section, I found the most amazing fabric I've ever seen. Seriously. Imagine if Tom of Finland designed an homage to 9-11 heroes, and someone made it into a fabric. I started laughing so hard I was crying, and really almost peed my pants...

...being scared. And for some people, Halloween is a sacred thing, not a horror movie re-hash. Yes, I emailed HR. On another, more positive, note, I did the third and final ruthless culling of my fabric stash this morning. I came up with a few more damasks (one is wool/cotton), 3 large pieces of wool, and three more large pieces of silk. (They've been added to the spreadsheet, but not measured...

Happy Birthday Kai!! Keep on drummin'.

...Mama Cheese and we kept going down the Princes Hwy towards Bentleigh. Gail B's will always have a place in my heart (I know, I know, I go on about it enough!) but there were some REALLY cute fabric at Amitié Textiles ! I think I could have easily spent a week's wage just on the cutecutecute Japanese prints. I was lucky to receive some money for my birthday so I went on a small spree and I...

...combo of research and interview, he draws a distinction between prodigies (which I've always known I wasn't) and experimentalists, which label I can cheerfully claim. I have been making things in fabric for years. I finally feel I am making interesting things, and improving. It has been a long time, and I have been distracted by small things like children and horses, but I am more encouraged now...

Hi I was wondering does anyone know if Arab Street has like leathery material fabrics? Eg.those from leather pouches?Cause from what I have heard/seen so far they seem to only sell normal printed fabrics. Also do let me know if there's any place I can get them from! Thanks:)

OK - in typical Virgo fashion, I am making a spreadsheet of (most of) the fabric that will be up for sale at Collegium/next week. If you want a copy to browse, let me know.
