While sifting through my stash, I came upon a remnant of ivory silk which I bought at High Fashion Fabric in Houston. If you are a fabric-loving Texan, you must visit this store -- stores, actually: One building houses a mind-boggling array of fashion fabric, and the building across the street holds four floors of home decorating fabric!

Here's hoping you have a wonderful weekend, friends! My sewing machine will be whirring!
I love your ideas for the first fabrics!! I've never gotten the hang of sewing spaghetti straps.
