Finally a post with pictures! Just to keep you all interested :P

First up: New fabric finds!!

Last Saturday I spent the day out with my Tafe friend, and we managed to visit a couple of fabric stores during our travels.

First up was Spotlight, which yielded a possible Regency fabric

Heheh I'm sorry! Though with all the fabric in my stash, I am going to be more strict with my own budget and fabric buying!

So gorgeous! I love fabric posts! :D I think the green textured print is my personal favorite. Good thing we're on opposite sides of the globe, or you might find it missing one day! :p

Re: the yellow and blue floral. It doesn't look right for Regency to me. :( The print is too... stylized, I guess; not too complex, but too impressionistic. And the color combination is certainly not one I've seen from that period. It DOES look exactly like 1950s, though! I'm sure I've seen something vintage made from a material almost identical. :D

I love the green one too! The colours is just so divine, I wish I could have captured it better!

Almost as soon as I posted the yellow and blue floral I realised it just wasn't right. But it's definitely perfect for 50's! I can definitely see a simple 50's dress with a big skirt and a cute matching blue jacket!

What a stash - no wonder your inspired :)

I really do have a pretty stash of fabric :D Though I really need to go back through it all and do another stash cull. And actually use the rest :P

Thank you! :D I'm hoping when I move I'll be able to unpack it all and have it on shelves, so the pretties will inspire me to actually use my stash! I always forget what I have when it's packed away in containers!

I wish my fabric stash was quite so colourful and intersting. I simply adore the cherry border fabric, and I can definatley see a lolita dress out of it.

I can't wait til my stash becomes my wardrobe :P Though I really need to balance out all the colour with a few plain items and perhaps some darker items... though I am just not attracted to dark things!

As soon as I saw the fabric it screamed lolita!
