40LBS OF FABRIC | October Haul

Every purple fabric you've shown in this haul is AMAZING! 😍 I went in to a thrift store this Monday and found four yards of a black, grey and red cotton plaid for 10$ and I had to get it! Soon I'll have a huge shirt and a pair of paper bag shorts.. Can't wait!

I'm super looking forward to what you do with that mint-teal stripey fabric! My most recent purchase was a wide width purple shot blue organza, and I don't know whether to make a Giselle-style tutu and/or something similar to your organza butterfly gown! Currently dreading the price of whatever yardage I'll need to back it with... Historical fashion, so beautiful to see, so savage to the bank account

Thanks Angela, fabric hauls are always fun to watch! My favorite was definitely your sweater!

I adore your fabric hauls, your love for the fabrics and genuine excitement really come through! I'm a home sewist with no historical projects planned but you make me feel like I absolutely need a magenta plaid dupioni in my life right now.

Thank you Angela!

That’s great!.... But what did you get at the vintage fair?

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping to reduce _my_ fabric shopping, because sharing your haul joy fills my consu-meter. Those checkered and charmeuse silks. I can't even.

I love all of the striped fabrics! I'm a sucker for stripes.

Gena Hebert-I throughly watching your fabric and fathers and whatever else you decide to buy. It is like watching Christmas unfold. We do not have as many fabric shops in our area but wow-I could go to town-however where would I put them all??? I giggled like a girl at the reasoning for your purchases. They all sounded well to me. I look forward to your posts.

You justify buying fabric, I justify buying a $1500 embroidery machine (and fabric). I love being in a place with people who understand me :)

I can't even with that Halloween ensemble! You nailed it and that pumpkin hat is on point! I'd also like to add that Uber is a blessing when you've got a trek like that next time.

I hope the pumpkin hat ends up as a tutorial or pattern. It’s so adorable. I love the dress, too.

I can totally relate to that amazing haul! How could you refuse yourself to buy those lovely fabrics? You just can't. That is why I usually don't go fabric shopping. I have such a big pile already and no time nor energy to sew anything. Having said that.... my last haul was some lovely striped yellow & white fabric for an edwardian type blouse and a blue and white striped fabric for another blouse. I would love to see you make a civil war era dress with the dark green striped fabric. It would suit you so much!

Oooh what a lovely haul. That red striped taffeta says "1912" to me! Your Halloween outfits look stunning, especially the black and white stripes. Cool black background too! And, a1880s seaside ensemble - that sounds absolutely incredible, I just can't wait to see you make that one!

I work at a craft store so I'm constantly buying new supplies... but there aren't really any fabric shops in my city so one day I want to go on a trip to do a big fabric haul too :)

Those floofy plumes! Just divine! Can't wait to see all the hats that are to come.

I loved your plaids. I recently bought a gorgeous blue green brown plaid that is stunning, cut only 21/8 yards which will never become the jumper I was hoping for it to be. But it might be a nice skirt. The problem is I have no hips, no waist and no butt to hold it up so skirts and I don't get along so well. But the fabric is gorgeous and it will become something that's probably not worthy of the fabric but it will become something. The problem is I just have a thing for fabric more than I do for sewing. I'm not sure what to make of that but I have a nice little stash for when I figure out what I will make of it. I also recently got some gorgeous Italian silk interiors fabrics. One is a yellow dotted Swiss that I think you'd swoon over.

Next time, get 50 pounds and I’ll cover the Lyft/taxi to Penn Station 😁

I’m glad us diabolical Patrons enable you to buy *all* the pretty fabrics that must go home with you.

I am looking forward to the long coat.

Omg those greens!!!! The plaid especially... YUM!! My most exciting recent acquisition (early birthday gift from my parents and husband) was a NEW SEWING MACHINE!!! So I'll actually use the stash i keep growing. It's a Brother 575 and a big step up from my old machine that struggled a lot. Now i just need the time to sew, why do i gotta have a full time job like some kinda chump........
