One of my favorite fabric stores in SF,
Fabric Outlet is having a birthday sale. 40% off almost everything from March 12th through the 26th. I went on Saturday because I've been thinking of making myself some skirts this summer. No time like a sale, right?!
(I am not affiliated with this store in anyway. I just love it and have been shopping there since the 90s.)
Here's the haul in all it's glory. Except for the shoe. It's just that I got that fabric to match the shoe. In fact, I picked out a skein of embroidery floss that matched the color of the shoe and took it with me to help me find matching fabric.
This is a drapey polyester. I love the techie, pixelated print.
This is a light weight cotton. The print looks very Anthropologie to me.
Since I know someone will ask, the shoe is Aerosoles,
Rolling Hills in blue/green leather. I have no affiliation with them, either. :)
Another drapey polyester. This one has a brown background.
And yet another drapey polyester. This one has a black background.
I got 10 yards of waistband elastic.
With 40% off, I couldn't resist some odds and ends: buttons that match those new shoes above; lemon yellow buttons; silver jingle bells (why?!); some wooden beads (also, why?!); and some sterling silver earring hooks.
OMG!? How did I forget my very very favorite part of the haul?! It didn't even make it into the group photo at the top.
How amazing is this pre-frilled fabric?! It's stretchy and covered with tiers of floaty lettuce edge gauze. I'm hoping that this makes a super-romantic and sweet Spring skirt (or summer skirt ... it depends on how quickly I start making skirts).
This fabric was the most expensive item at $8.09 ($17.99/yard for 3/4ths of a yard with 40% off). The rest of the fabric was normally $7.99 - 4.99/yard. I scooted out of there with all of this stuff for less than $40. I love a good deal!
