Despite my aforementioned lack of blog mojo, I did just have these five pieces of fabric jump into my online cart over at Spandex World. Check these out - I was careful only to get the poly/spandex mixes - I think the "ingredient" combo I don't like is nylon/spandex, which I have a few pieces of in stash and don't think I'll use. Whatever it is, it's that thicker knit fabric that is solid white on the reverse side - I had picked some pieces of that up in the Vogue Remnant room and I don't personally like it.
These are the new pieces - I did two yards of each for simple summer dresses or tunics/tops:
and a yard of this for a swimsuit, as it was on sale too:
As you can probably tell, I'm loving orange and coppery orange colors lately. They are so nice in the summer with a tan! Now I need to get sewing on my existing stash so I can knock it down a little before these new fabrics arrive!
I love the first one... darnit I like all of them - great haul.

Damn those jumping fabrics! I am having to stay away from Joann's this week after so many things jumped into my cart last week! The orange is going to make a cute bikini!

Spandex World actually exists? and they sell non-spandex? The hubbunny was jsut commenting today how he is really liking coppery colours lately. Mind you he was talking about cars, not fabric. But still, an aodd similarity inour worlds

I love the blue and purple ones best! I envy your having the week off to do nothing but knit and sew. Can't wait to see all the pretty things you are going to have done by the week's end.
You must have an amazing closet in terms of size and choice!! Or do you cycle things out pretty regularly too? I'm probably one of the few middle class women who can truly say she does not have enough clothes, LOL.
