mandie_rwQuick post before I have to get ready for work: got my box o' fun from fabric. com today, and feel very gratified in having spent *mumble* dollars on it all.
I especially like the dupioni; there's hardly any slubs in it at all, and the colors are so pretty! I think it looks better than the photo, it's cloudy here so I can't get good pictures of things!
Funny story with the other linen I bought: first of all I only bought it because it was cheap, and I can always use plain ivory linen! So I took it out of the box along with the other fabric, admired it, petted it, and was just chucking it into a pile with the striped linen/cotton to take down to the washing machine, when I happened to hold it up to the light from the window, and...hang on. What's this? Hold it up again. It almost looks like there's a...print...on here. What? Hold it up again. Yes, there is most definitely a print on this! Not woven in, just printed on, and the EXACT same color as the fabric, so in bad light I can only see it when I happen to hold it up to the light.
Surprise! My reaction: LOLWHUT? Well, I was probably going to use this for linings or undergarments anyway, now I definitely will! It's still really nice linen...just with an added bonus!
