 Hey, you guys, it's Lindsay and Abby and today we are here for a fabric haul I don't know that we've ever done a fabric haul before actually I know we haven't because Abby hasn't purchased any fabric in 10 months in New York November yeah, yeah, yeah, so I was trying to be really good and not purchase any fabric until we went to New York again Which we will next year sometime, but yeah We um we often will Shop together even online because we can split the shipping since we live in the same town Which is great So Abby was looking to make the new Megan Heelsen pattern the reef pattern and was looking into some tensile chambray And we know that style maker fabrics has some so she was there and she text message me do you want any things and then of course I'm like not thinking about buying any fabric that day, but I go on there She has so many cute things. So it adds we were going back and forth. What about this to make this and yeah Yeah, so we're going to show you what we got and talk a little bit about the plans that we think we have for these Subject to change because you were you always get your fabric laid out and you're like, I don't know Maybe I want to make something else or a new pattern comes out and okay So we haven't opened the box yet. We just cut open the tape. It's been sitting there taunting me This is heavy since yesterday. This is a lot of fabric. Okay Oh The usual style maker stuff She should sit more bees if you buy 15 fabric you need more reference cards Yes, so this actually I really love Michelle she We've often a couple times we've been looking for something specific and we'll just send her a message on Instagram I'm like you have anything that would be good for this. I know she helped you out with short a lot Yeah, so I was looking to make the anari tee dress by named patterns And I just really haven't found a fabric for that and so we were right back and forth And these were actually a couple of the fabrics she had suggested to me So it's really nice. I could see my sample there. So it's palm trees. Yeah She showed me this and at first I was like, wow, that's really tropical. We live at the beach So I think it's sometimes hard for us to wear tropical stuff because it looks like we're on vacation. Yeah But ever since she showed me that I keep seeing their tropical friends everywhere. Yeah, that's what is really pretty Yeah, I like that. So that's a couple but it is a um Texture double knit yeah, definitely coral and black poly lycra, and this is a nice punky knit Hefty so it would be good for that dress That is nice. Yeah I don't know about horizontal stripes on I like horizontal stripes Bring on poly lycra. Yeah, that feels really good And then she was trying to convince me to get this one, but I said it wasn't quite my color scheme But I thought it was kind of your color. Yeah, she tried to pull Anari tee out of this and I'm like It's actually really pretty I would make a top out of it. It's prettier than I thought online I thought I don't know. I'm not one for black and darker colors like the reds, but I like it Yeah, it's pretty. It's all the difference getting a swatch in person. Yeah, and she sends such big swatches This is what six inches square probably Yeah, I love the big big swatches. You made a real idea of the scale of the print too, which is really nice Very cool. I think all yours are on top. Oh, yes So I really was attracted to all the shifui prints. So this was a one It's a lawn and I actually was asking about this one too I was looking for something for the Megan Nielsen wreath And I asked if she thought this would be good for it Um, because she said she thought it would be so this is it's a lawn. It's a really pretty. Is it almost border No, I don't think it has a border, but it did say that each piece like I think it's like done by hand So each piece would be different a lot different than that. Yeah, so That was my plan for it. But then so I made this Colfax dress yesterday And I was kind of thinking that it would be good for that too. Yeah, it'd be good for a lot of things I really like it. It feels soft. Yeah, really nice wash up. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was soft enough when it When I wash it too pretty pretty color pretty color what it ends up as but here's its knit neighbor. Yes knit cousin So I got another one And this is a bamboo jersey. Oh my gosh, how soft it is. It's really soft. It feels really drapey Really really really pretty. I love the colors of this one And I saw a dress on anthropology. Um, it's sleeves and it's a maxi out of this looks identical It really does. Yeah, so that's what its plans are. I did get three yards of it So I have enough to make a maxi if I change my mind, which I often do then I'll have a little bit left over for a t-shirt That's true. Mine is next This is a kind of like just a really fun. Um Novelty print they're like, I guess they're on vacation I don't know. They're sailboats and there's palm trees and like girls and crop tops and skirts with the walking their dog And a little cafe set I don't know. There's lots of really cute stuff on there But um, I wanted to make a romper and my problem with rompers is it's a delicate balance between getting a fabric that's flowy and also finding a fabric that is Stable enough or structured enough to for shorts, you know, you don't want to be walking around Um in something that's just like really too light and things are shaking around and loves and bumps and see through Yeah, exactly. So typically I would look for a rayon shali for Something kind of flowy and cute like that But I don't want to do rayon shali for the bottom of the romper because I don't feel like it's enough And so this is a different substrate all together. Um, I can't remember exactly what it is. Maybe it's on here It is Is it the rayon crepe? Yeah rayon crepe on is what it's called. So I imagine like a crepe Rayon mixed together. So it is. Yeah more Stable she said it does wash up a little bit softer than this so it would be more drapey, but um, Let's see. It did seem like some light was getting through I mean, there is some light coming through but it's not Horrible, do you think? Yeah. Um, I think what's in some of your body? Yeah, especially Drapey like it's supposed to be. I don't know. It is really That's fun when I added that I did the order. She told me what she wanted when when I added that in for you That's so much fun. What can I do with it? Yeah, it's really kind of it's a novelty print But done in a very classy kind of like I'm gonna take space kind of cute So if it doesn't end up being a romper, it could always be a dress. Yeah, I think it would be a really cute thin flare dress or Elastic waist dress, whatever. So um, yeah, so that's the plan With this rayon crepe on novelty print. It's so exciting. Okay This one is mine This was a last-minute throw in the cart. It was really reasonably priced It's just a blue and white seersucker and I was going to try to make an off the shoulder Top with it. Just a simple elastic Um, maybe to wear with some white pants white shorts We'll see I've seen some seersucker ones really cute on Pinterest that I was thinking about trying that Perfect. Is this like a It's a shirting. Um Real seersucker though. Yeah, sometimes, you know, it'll be just blue white stripes and that Technically is not a seersucker. Yeah, but this one was really recent price. It feels great feels like good quality Yeah, I like the shade of the blue. Yeah, we have like a whole box of blue pretty much Pretty much. So this one must be the tinsel Which color though? I don't know Well, I ordered tinsel and then there was a chambray. So that must be chambray and that's tinsel for sure Feel it has to be the tinsel. Oh my gosh It's amazing So japanese selvedge tinsel shirting and light blue is technically what it's called It is the softest most draughty Chambray it almost feels like seeing Butter or something. I know. Oh my gosh I think I'm gonna have to order more of this What did I get it for I don't even remember I think you got it for the off the shoulder dress That's the shoulder dress which I made the other day Were you gonna make the reef out of this? No, I was gonna make the reef out of one But I think I'm gonna buy some more and make the reef out of this too. How much of it did you get? Two yards. You got four yards. Two of it's yours What am I gonna make out of it? It's an amazing thing. No, I know exactly what I'm gonna make out of it There is a I think we talked about it in our summer Patterns or to go to summer patterns, but it's just like a boxy top and it has Grommets in the like if it were like this and it has grommets here So you can do like the tie up thing, but I don't know. It's so drapey now that I'm seeing it. It's really really drapey I don't know see now. That's that that's gonna be It'll be hard to decide. Yeah cut in But now I think this would be perfect for the reef I think I'm going to purchase some more of this before it's gone For a reef set And then make like a dress or a top out of yeah Because you know the reef is cut on the bias. Yeah, and so that on the bias were probably drape really beautiful Yeah, it would and it's so soft to sleep and that would be really nice. Oh Yeah, but even the shorts to wear outside is out of wear. Yeah, that's true That's true. Okay. So next this is chambray And I this is all mine, right? That's one shoot I didn't make a place another order All I got was attention. This is my chambray Shirting ray on chambray shambray on chambray shirting. That's really nice. Really crisp I'm gonna get with that and what are you gonna make with that? I was gonna make a top With it Yeah, one and a half yards Yeah, I was gonna make a top I don't know what top I don't have the pattern in mind. I just I'm obsessed with chambray Yeah, you can't have too much chambray. So I don't really have plans I can make a gold tax with it One and a half yards If you don't do the hem facing, yeah Do it That would be really cute. Yeah, that would be super cute. Yeah, we'll see Anything I choose will be great. Yeah. Okay. Next up is this denim shirting stripe Indigo vanilla are the two colors And yeah, I think it feels really good. Um, I got it because I've been wanting to do Kind of something that will highlight Striped fabric. So I've been seeing a lot of people doing Like a dress that has princess seams and doing and and also a center front seam and doing almost like a Chevron stripe here and then doing vertical stripes here and then doing the skirt in a horizontal stripe or Something to kind of like play with the stripes a lot So I liked this one because it has a combination of little stripes and big stripes But in Overall, it's the same stripe design just different Types of stripes. Yes. I mean, I like that a lot. So and the colors are pretty universal pretty neutral So it wouldn't be like, you know, pink and orange and red Crazy kaleidoscope on your chest It would be sort of neutral. So I'm really excited about this. It feels so really nice. Yeah Yeah, it doesn't say what it's made of it is like Nazi through at all. Yeah. It's very very substantial Yeah, that's probably the one I'm most excited about. Yeah. Okay. And then the leisure I have three more, but This is the end. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So this is also kind of another idea I've had in my head for a little while. She has three different Sizes of black and white gingham. So she has An eighth of an inch A quarter inch and one inch all black and white gingham. And so I thought it would be cool to Mix all of these together in one dress somehow and I don't know If it'll be like a shirt dress where the body of the shirt dress is the one inch and then the collar And the placket or another one I haven't quite sorted out how I would mix them all together yet, but I'm thinking about Yeah, combining all of them and what I love about this is these two are the exact same. She told me On instagram, they they feel they're the the same make but this one is actually a little bit Softer and more stable So it actually makes sense that this would be the body of the dress and the other two would be the accent somehow So we'll see if I can think of something Safe but still really interesting to do with these. I think it would be a really fun Interesting dress that nobody else would have. I love black and white gingham. So I can't wait to see what you come up with Yeah, that should be interesting and that is it. It's that's the end of Our haul. Yeah, like a little christmas morning. I know and now like and now your mind is just like, yeah I know I can't wait to get in and wash and I really ordered all the same color schemes here And you can tell too. It's really hot here because everything is lightweight breathable natural fiber. Yeah We just I mean cannot escape the heat here No matter what no, like I find myself going to the end of the parking lot just to find shade Oh, yeah, I know and then getting the closer spot. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's hot. So So that was fun note She always writes little notes on the invoices says have fun with these can't wait to see what you sew up A shell. Yes. I threw in a couple swatches Appreciate that because honestly these these look really good in person. They do.
