no willpower, whatsoever

In my defense, I haven't gone on a fabric-buying binge in quite a while (in costume lengths, that is. 2 and 3 yard pieces for modern dresses don't count!), so I don't feel too bad. I am, however, banned from buying any more for the rest of the year! (Although I will make an exception right now for my 10th high school reunion in November, because I need to look hot for that and that may well warrant a new cocktail dress.)

bauhausfrau happened to post this morning that FabricMart was having a sale, is what I'm saying... (actually, they still are, and there are still currently 3 or 4 nice taffetas in the $12-13/yd range! They should go to good homes!) Between the yellow faille...and the rainbow trout voile, and the striped taffeta that somehow ended up in my shopping cart at the same time as the voile...and the lime green taffeta that I bought today along with a couple yards of hot pink/orange shot to trim it and make some truly horrible 1860s or 70s Thing...

ALL THE SILK!

I should probably get around to sprucing up those few costume pieces I've been meaning to repair, etc. so I can put them up in my shop, huh. (Yes, yes I should.)

Aaaanyway, I mostly did some cleanup in my etsy shop today, since I've been neglecting it the last couple months. Got the new wooden fans listed, and finally came to terms that no matter what I do with this yellow 18thc hat I'm going to hate it, so just finish it and freaking list it already! To that end, sewed a couple feathers on it, and just need to stick a stupid little bow on it, and then I can list that too.

I think we've been saying this for a year, hahaha...neither of us can ever remember when we're at your house! OK. NEXT SEWING DAY.

Mmmmm, fabric! Look forward to seeing what you make with your yardage!

I think I just want to roll around in it first, hehehe! I'm very excited about that green, I hope it's as aniline-y green as the picture promises!

Woo hoo, I can't wait to see all the colorful stuff you make!

I *am* apparently feeling very colorful this week! xD Probably none of it will get touched this year (except rainbow trout dress), but silk's pricey enough now that I can't turn down a sale when it finds me.
