Lancaster Fabric Haul
Another fabric haul - shocking!
I planned on this going up after my PA vlogs, but since there are so many Labor day sales going on (which seems kind of ironic) I thought it made sense to post this now.
I know fabric.com has 20% off everything, fabricmart is doing 60% off everything, and a bunch of others are having smaller sales or free shipping promotions.
Despite my intentions to not buy any more fabric, I did get suckered into fabric.com - I got a bit more of the lettuce fabric I liked so much (this one!), and a Tula Pink fabric since everyone requested I work with that on my most recent video.
But as I said at the end, this will be the last haul for a long while.
I've bought so much material this year (and spent so much on it) and I truly don't have room for any more. Plus, when reorganizing last week I came across so many things I forgot I had, which is shameful.
A lot of the fabric is really nice too! And I really want to work with it! It's just so easy to forget about when there is so much other pretty fabric out there. But I've unsubscribed from a bunch of sites which should prevent the random browsing whenever I get a sale notification...
When it comes to using the materials shown in this video, I'm already working on a skirt tutorial with the wavy floral. And a petticoat from the voile , which will be worn under an 1880's gown made from the blue cotton at the end!
If there is anything your specifically interested in me using then please let me know! :)
I hope you are all had a nice weekend!

I enjoy these fabric haul videos to a disturbing extent!
They are such great fabrics, no doubt, I can’t get enough. Most of all, I really dig the cherry fabrics!!
I can't wait to see the four-piece suit!!! And the blue 1880s dress... I would also love to see an updated hair and make-up routine, your make-up always looks so amazing!!
Loved seeing this haul. I'm glad you've been inspired to create and thinking about upcoming projects after this trip and looking over your stash. I really loved the first fabric (I think it was first...) with the plaid and the flowers. I think that would look really cute as a belted shirtdress style. The green striped fabric with the complimenting fabric I think was another standout for me as well. I'm excited to see what you make from the historic prints and would love to see more hoop skirt styles with bonnets from that era. The drapery style fabric is gorgeous as well and I'm hoping that will be made into something elegant with lots of cream or ivory accent fabric or accessories. It just looks lovely. The fun prints (you found so many cute ones!) made me think of circle skirts or cute blouses to wear with your vintage style shorts, or turn into rompers.
I love the strawberry print towards the end of the video. Totally gorgeous! I think you should definitely do a stash busting challenge.
I just adore the little deers! You picked really amazing fabrics. Can't wait to see what you are going to make.
That Kaffe Fassett cabbage fabric is gorgeous. Google his knitting and tapestry if you get a chance. A unique design talent.
I'm so in love with the green printed silky brocade looking home decor fabric! Also the fabric with the baby deer just melted my heart! I want to make dresses and skirt and blouses out of it, it's just so freakin precious! Also, because I saw in the description of this video that fabric mart was having a 60% off sale I may or may not have gone and bought 10 yards of a GORGEOUS wool-poly blend brocade that was dusty strawberry colored with dusty purple colored flowers...Instead of blaming my own lack of self control, I find it easier to blame you, so thanks a lot Angela! (kidding of course) But hey, it was marked down from $20 a yard to only $8 a yard, no way in hell was I going to pass up a deal like that, besides, now I have enough period appropriate fabric to make a French Tudor gown, yay! My own splurging aside, I love your fabric haul videos, you got so many beautiful things at such good prices and I'm so excited for you and I can't wait to see what you make of them :)
I love that last fabric you showed. I really want to see what you make out of that.
The purple/blue cotton is my favorite....I think. The blue MODA print would make a great dress with the crazy cherry print as accents. Then you could wear that new hat with the red rosettes on it. You should check out Kansas Troubles prints. Great historic prints. Lynn, the designer is amazing. That's a great haul. I don't know how you restrain yourself in fabric stores. A Lancaster trip is a BIG DEAL to a quilter like me. And I still want to buy your cotton scrapes! lol. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to all the upcoming projects.
I loved this fabric haul! I am a quilter and am passionate about civil war quilts and costume so I was so excited to see your historical fabric purchases. I would love to see you make a civil war era dress from that type of fabric/print sometime. I have a large collection of historic quilt fabrics but unfortunately only in small amounts of about 1 yard. I wish i had enough to make a dress. Being in the UK it's expensive to get quilt fabric shipped here.
I LOVE the green/black striped fabric, I gasped when you showed it. <3 A stash busting series would be cool!
Very interesting haul, the variation makes it really hard to choose. Initially I thought the first fabric would be my favorite, till came to minute 12, but I’m o so curious about what minute 19 and the cabbage fabrics will become. And hearing you talk about your ideas with the historical prints, makes me want to see you make those. So I hope you or others can choose 😁.
Amazing haul! The Kaffe Fassett (sp) cabbage is my absolute favorite. I am personally a fabric hoarder and am working on killing my stash this fall. You really are a prime source of motivation to keep going. :)
Are those sandwich cookies I see?? *goes out to get snacks*
Just from the thumbnail I'm excited!
