Fun with Fabric / Re: What have you bought?
« on: June 15, 2017, 09:16:36 AM »
I have just received delivery of some fairly cheap fabric which is just what I wanted - it's crinkle viscose, and makes wonderful beach trousers and skirts
If like me you have to cover up in the summer because of a skin sensitivity to the sun (I use baby sunblock and still burn) you want things that are light, flowing and easy to launder when on holiday, so I make wide leg, soft waist trousers which are perfect for holidays and a few skirts with a modesty panel lining for evening wear - a few cool tops and bobs your uncle.
Bought it from The Fabric Room https://www.thefabricroom.co.uk/viscose/viscose-crinkle.html in lots of lovely different colours, cheap too, although there is a minimum order of 3 meters but that is ok for wide leg trousers and full skirts anyway.
Sorry can't post pics at the moment until I delete some from my dropbox
