Fabric Haul Part 3, Fabric.com

*Fabric haul*
Part 3
Fabric.com
I am completely addicted to fabric now.

I have joined the club with people that go shopping for clothes as a therapeutic way to get over anger, sadness or frustrations among other reasons.

I am also part of the club with people that say if you see it now you better get it because it may not be there next time!!

While at work one day during a lunch break I decided to browse Fabric.com (there is no such thing as browse BTW) and see what type of sales they had going on.

My package has arrived!!
 Click on the name of the fabrics to find out more information from Fabric.com.

Charmeuse Satin Mod Dot Blush/Silver

The dress I plan on making with this will be so cute!  An APRN I work with suggested adding a black belt or sash to break up the polka dots.  Just the thought of how I WANT it to turn out makes me happy! LOL 



I have a couple of patterns I can use this for.  It will most likely be a maxi dress, but with my own type of twist.  I was in love with the emerald color the moment I saw it.  It was a bit pricey, but when I felt it, I knew it was good quality.



This will probably be used to make another dress similar to the polka dot material.  My plan for this is to be a little more formal yet flirty instead of fun like the polka dot print.



I was very excited about this 50% Wool - 50% Polyester find.  It normal is about $10/yard but I got 3 1/2 yards for about $3.50/yard. I had to buy this to HOPEFULLY make a coat in the fall/winter. I am hoping my sewing skills are much better by that time.

I am very happy with my first purchase from Fabric.com.  I will definitely do business with them again.  I did call them before I made the purchase to ask a question on how they cut their fabric and the woman I spoke to was very friendly and helpful.


I feel like a crazy person saying this.  Pretty soon I am going to have more fabric than I have ideas or patterns for.

I can't wait for my next fabric haul!!

Until Next Time!! ✌

DIY -- Hello Kitty Scrub Top -- OOTD

DIY - Hello Kitty Scrub Top What I Wore Today  Fabric from Joann Fabrics  I'm not sure if you can buy this particular print online, but I did see it in a few of their retail stores.  I used Wrights Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape accent the pockets and around the top.  If you haven't read my About Me page yet, I state that I work full-time in the medical field.  I don't have to wear scrubs all the time, but when I want to be comfortable it's my go to option!!  I was tired of seeing the same scrub tops I was wearing that day on other co-workers in the hospital and smiling at each other because we didn't know what else to say. I felt like I was in People Magazine on the "Who Wore It Better" page. So I decided to start making my own tops!!  This is the 2nd scrub top that I have ever made.  The first one I made ended up being a complete bust (My Failure) and I never took a pic of it.  I definitely learned for my mistakes (M...

Scrub - A - Dub Sunday!! DIY - Scrub Tops

DIY - Scrub Sunday!! I buckled down and add four more scrub tops to my work wardrobe.  I did this really for two reasons. 1) I like how easy and fast it is for me at this moment, very calming and non-stressful sewing! 2) I enjoy the compliments I get from my co-worker for having original scrub tops! If you have not read my Fabric Haul 2 post, please check it out.  There you will find a description of all the fabric I used for these scrub tops.   Fabric Haul 2 My son decided that he wanted to draw all over my pocket template. To learn more about the Ideal Seam Guide that I use while sewing, check out my   Tool I Can't Live Without Post It seemed easier for me to just cut all the fabric out and just sew everything at once. The only thing that was time consuming on these scrubs was changing the thread to match the color of the bias tape being used. The finished products!! So happy!! Can't wa...

My New Website and New Blog www.SilverliningsOriginals.biz www.SilverliningsOriginals.biz/blog I have finally chosen a new place to start the second part of my journey in sewing.

Since starting this blog a lot of things have happened on my sewing journey.  I am now running a small business that seems to be getting busier and busier everyday.  With that a new website and new blog had to be started. I hope you continue to follow my journey on the new website and blog.  You should also subscribe to be privy to exclusive content.
