Just a quick post...

Life has a way with screwing with plans. Will get the second BotCon post up soon as I have time.

Meantime, I stopped by JoAnn's on my home. Had some really good finds in the red tag section (which were 50% off, on top of the red tag discount!).

These are the fabrics I got:


(Sorry about the horrible lighting, that was the ONE SPOT in the whole house that had the light to show true colors. Bah.)

Blue floral is cotton lawn, the green vine-y one is quilting cotton, and the blue with pinstripes is a linen/rayon blend.

I'm thinking of making View E of this dress in the cotton lawn. There was just enough fabric left on the bolt! :D And I'm thinking of maybe View D of this pattern for the linen blend, plus a pencil skirt if I can cut the fabrics right. I'm not sure what I'll make out of the quilting cotton... I have not quite 3 yards of it.

I really shouldn't have bought these. >_> But I couldn't resist!

Thank you! :D Hopefully my newby sewing skills won't ruin them. XD

Fabric.... it is hard to resist....... and when on sale? impossible to resist.... XD;

Ffffft!! I do not think you would ruin them - not with the pretty skirt I saw you wear <3 Do show pics of the dresses when you're done? =3

I'll try to get some! It's really hard to get good pics of them, though. XD I don't have anyone who's okay with a camera to take pictures of me in them, and it's rather hard to take pics of yourself. (Plus I fail at getting pictures when I'm hanging out with friends... Out of the four things I wanted to get pics of in at BotCon, only one had a deliberate pic of just me in it!)
