Use of fabric

[Ohsewsimple]

I have to buy if and when I see anything nowadays.  There is nowhere near me now that sells dressmaking fabric.

@Missie, it's the fabric

I changed m6 mind in the end and used a piece of denim to make the skirt.  A better choice in the end I think.  But this fabric would be great as a shirt dress I think……. Or maybe…….

its a tricky one isn't it.

Perhaps what you could do is pin the pattern pieces on for the top and skirt and if there's enough for both, cut out the top, but put the rest of the fabric away with a note of which skirt pattern you planned to use.  . . .

. . . For those smaller pieces which are left I like to make garments which combine fabrics, for instance a jersey back and silk front tee, shirts with contrast collars and cuffs or sometimes use them for nice bags/zipper pouches etc.

👏👏  Yes, well said.
