I bought Sew Magazine in Asda last week as I fancied a sewing read, and found 3 rather nicee patterns came free with it, one of which I rather liked. Unfortunately, I have no suitable summer trouser fabric, so I needed a trip to my local fabric shop. I didn't want to go into town, so OH drove me, and waited - I had 15 minutes!
As luck would have it, the remnant bin was overflowing, and immediately, two pieces of fabric threw themselves at me. The first, about a yard and a half of fine cream jersey - perfect for camis! The second a lovely black shiny glittery knit - about a yard, which will make up lovely at Hallowe'en.
Into the back room, and there was a lovely turquoise trouser weight, nothing fancy, but a great weight for trousers. Just 3 yards on the roll, so she threw that in. Further along, I spotted a glorious purple, but only a yard and a half. That's it, that's me done. I would have loved to root longer, as I was on a roll, but OH was baking in the car, so I paid and left.
£14 in total, but I have about 7 yards of really nice fabric in total. I will cut the trousers out tonight maybe...
