Lovely fabric but pricey!

It is a lovely pattern and I'm tempted to have a go. I'll put it on my "to get" list for my next trip to Norwich for fabric.

Went to Norwich last Thursday to get some buttons and bought the Lisette pattern, had a chat with a very helpful and knowledgable member of staff there about the coat who wisely said to make a toile, she gave me a bit more confidence so I might make it later in the year after looking at the cost of wool and woollen mix fabrics. It is a bit boxy so I wondered if I could slim it down a bit.  Oh, and I also managed to come home with 2 metres of black and white fine dogstooth check fabric for trousers maybe, pretty blue  for the jersey dress which is nearly finished.

Great Silver Rose  . I found an end of roll for £30 only 3 metres but enough to make a toile if I add another fabric for the back of the collar or shorten it a bit.  It hasn't arrived yet so I don't know the weight, but it is wool. And I'm almost ready to have a go

That's really pretty fabric, Lilian.  I also have this pattern and some boiled wool which has been resting in my stash for, ahem, several years.  It's on my list!  but first I have to finish the skirt and cardigan which have actually made it as far as the cutting table this year
