Beautiful Fabric - what do you plan on doing with it?

Thank you @William   the gold cotton lawn with flowers will be
a dress with unpressed pleats,  McCalls 7714 pattern I used last summer. The tiny flowered one and the cream linen for a long 8 panelled skirts but not for a while.

One of my favourite fabrics too @Catllar , I don't mind that it creases. This cream linen is to replace a RTW one that I managed to spill iodine on, I dropped the bottle of iodine into the bathroom handbasin and it smashed and sprayed all over my skirt and the bathroom floor.

You have the right idea @Silver Rose, planning ahead for garments that may see the light of day when we are allowed out of our hidey holes. I bought some lovely fabrics last year and hope to actually make myself some things this year. Here’s hoping I can get over some of my ever-increasing fitting challenges.

More planning than sewing at the moment  but thinking about warm sunny days cheers me up a lot.
