What lovely fabrics!  Are they for you Cat?

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Yes, for me, but don't have any plans yet - just too much gorgeousness to leave lonely on a shelf. I really love the laser scuba and the panel is just yummy. The other two are a bit more traditional. I blame all this DF for introducing the Textile Centre on here.

DF has a lot to answer for - not just the Textile Centre but StyleArc patterns too. My bank balance has suffered somewhat
due to DF's purchases and postings on here. ;)
A lovely selection of purchases for you too. I've been looking on TC website and so far have resisted temptation, so far--------

I only went on because a friend admired a dress I'd made from one of the TC fabrics and I was just looking to see if they had any more and then some rotten no good person shoved all these pieces in my bag! How very dare they??

I’ve purchased some great bargains from TC over the years. I just made a Style Arc Adeline  ‘wearable toile’ dress out of some viscose purchased last year. Pattern still needs tweaking but dress is fine for mooching round the house.

I love some their chiffon print fabrics these would require lining and I would think they’d be tricky to sew.

Nice fabrics. Because people had said how much they like the Textile Centre stuff, I went to my local shop ( in Luton). I was severely disappointed in the fabric on sale, cheap tat mostly.

I can only think they save the good stuff for their online customers.

So far I've not been disappointed with their fabrics, hope these are as good!

Lovely stuff! I've had quite a few nice pieces of fabric from the Textile Centre too.

Fabrics arrived and have been speedily washed. They are all gorgeous - my favourite is the panel with the girl's face on it - I think a racer back  LDT will be great for that. The butterfly jersey is lovely and it says it wants to be a long side split dress. The other two are more problematic. The burgundy and navy needs to be something with sleeves but I don't want it to look over formal - in fact not formal, so maybe a cocoon shape something from StyleArc  and the laser scuba  is really funky and needs consideration - might make .... hmmmm don't know. ALL IN ALL - oops cap attack - a great haul!
