I should have bought more fabric but never mind. I like your description of how you go fabric shopping...I think I come at it in a different way and just buy the fabrics I like. But...then sometimes I find I don't have enough for what I'd really like to make and have to compromise. Ah, the carbon pads, I don't think they used them this time but I was in such a feeding-frenzy of fabric shopping I can't really remember!

And I love viscose, even if it does love to wrinkle itself up but it's a good fabric to work with and breathable too. Win win!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527250034952294304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232869699692571788.post-17091117502832307162017-04-25T22:18:01.105+01:002017-04-25T22:18:01.105+01:00I love yellow, I am convinced everyone can wear it...I love yellow, I am convinced everyone can wear it if they are only brave enough. It suits you. I like your new top, it has a great fit. I'd never be able to make anything from one metre of fabric... I go to Mandors sometimes and I am almost always disappointed. I think the problem is mine, I usually have an image in my mind of a fabric I want and then lack the flexibility to change. Do they still use the little note pads with the carbon paper for payment notes? Have a lovely holiday. xChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232869699692571788.post-33513378779699483102017-04-25T19:46:14.820+01:002017-04-25T19:46:14.820+01:00Yellow is such a hard color to wear, isn't it?...Yellow is such a hard color to wear, isn't it? But I happen to love this top on you: you can definitely pull off yellow! =) I quite like the painterly quality of the stripes, even if they were hard to photograph. The whole top has a nice, relaxed feel to it--perfect for holiday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
