I am, nominally,
trying to cut down on my fabric purchases these days. Or at least, using
up or giving away some of what's been sitting there some time. So, of
course, this was at the top of my mind when I went to the shops the
other day to get thread, just thread, all I need is thread.Until the
treacherous part of my mind suggested I should trying the evening wear
fabrics section, just in case I spotted something... 
So,
almost 6 metres of 60" wide chiffon later, I bought the thread I
needed. In my defense, it was reduced to only €5 per metre. And even if
the label on the bolt said "coffee", seen by the light of the camera
flash, it's really living in denial of being an old gold colour. Which
is excellent, because I'll be able to tie the style I want, a simple
dress with a contrast lining and the chiffon as a loose overlay, to the Spenser jacket
I've already fallen for pictured here.
And now I have a deadline to sew for! I'll need to get an awful lof of these costumes done by the end of March next year for a very special weekend.
