Last month my son had a tournament in Atlanta Georgia, so I took that oppurtunity to drop by Fine Fabrics . I had heard so much about it on Instagram and through other sewing groups that I am a part of . I just had to visit... and boy was I in for a treat !!!!!
WALL TO WALL FABRIC ... TONS AND TONS
For fear of looking like a nut I held back my squeals of excitement ! The funny part was I had brought my husband along ( for the muscle of lifting fabric bolts :) ) and I think he was secretly just as excited as I was . He would give me a quick "nope" if i picked something that he didn't like :)
So after WE had spent a good hour in the store just browsing I went back and picked the fabrics that I wanted ... you know its bad when you have a shopping list ... in a fabric store... :)
But HEY, I had to make sure I got everything I came for :)
I settled on 4 different fabrics for Fall !!
( follow me on Instagram to see them :) @MrsCraftyChick)
I was ready !!
1st Up !! Vinyl and Fur!!
One of the fabrics that I fell in love with was what I first thought to be some type of leather ...
However , as I began to work with it I realized that it was actually a vinyl!!!
I LOVED IT EVEN MORE !!
It had this beautiful sheen to it !
I decided to make a simple circle skirt out of it because I knew the weight of the fabric would allow it to fall beautifully with little effort on my part :)
I was right!!!
It fell beautifully and the fabric really has a leather look to it ..
I used Mccall Pattern 6964 to make my Crop Top :
I decided to make my crop top from a Minky fur
fabric that I found at Joann's ...
I was really looking for more of a
Angola Fur but couldn't find that so I settled on this as a suitable
alternative !!
I LOVE how it all turned out !!
This outfit is ready for Fall so I will be adding it to my Fall Wardrobe !!!
Accessories : Body Central
Until Next Time !!!!
XOXOXO
