I saw this as I came through the door in Hancock Fabric in Redlands, CA.
I love a lace that isn’t a floral.
And a lace that is a floral. Who am I kidding? This will be a jacket or capelet for a planned dress. Love the edging. *Sigh*
I saw a similar print in an orange but the hubby and I both preferred the blues/purples. This will be a dress.
Remember Tangerine Tango is Pantone’s colour of the year. Orange was in RTW in almost every store. I looked for orange in fabric too. Here is orange next to my face.
Looks okay, right? I also tried on an orange dress while shopping.
Terrible fitting room lighting but you get the idea. I like the tangerine colour on me. So much so that I bought this same print as a top. But I didn’t buy the dress. I figured it was very similar to the Butterick 5744 pattern I just bought minus the ruffles.
While I was shopping we passed All Saints and they had the best window display.
So neat! There were different brands and models. I wanted to take one!
What I’m listening to: Little Black Submarines by The Black Keys
Ooo, that looks like fun shopping! Kuddos to hubby for actually coming into the fabric store with you :).
I used to live in Redlands, so I enjoy your pictures. The fabrics are wonderful. Its so much fun to find new fabrics and get to work on making things. And that window display of sewing machines is so cool!

Those were at Hancock!? I’m grabbing my keys. Oh who am I kidding, I’m asking the husband to drive while I hunt for coupons. That lace is so cool!
Oh how pretty! That first blue lace is fantastic.
