The blue fabric is a lovely sheer, with distressed coppery foil dots which look a bit like random thumbprints:
And I suppose that explains why, on the same day, I bought the copper-colored silky fabric:
But whatever should I make with this? Possibly a loose tunic-length, caftan-like top with the blue sheer, to be worm with a spaghetti-strap chemise made from the copper silky? Let me know what you think -- Honestly, these aren't even my colors. I was seduced by the copper foil dots, I think.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! (Sorry, I digress; just thinking of High Fashion Fabrics makes me want to head for Houston.) Anyway, I had just enough for a floaty tank top:
It's cool and light as angel wings. But the sheerness of the fabric allows the facings to show, so I'm going to stitch this trim around the neckline: 
I think it will look lovely when finished, and may even go with this great Carole Little linen jacket which I bought at a vintage clothing store:
This jacket is in pristine condition, and I absolutely love the details:
When I bought the jacket, I didn't know that the original Carole Little designs are getting increasingly harder to find. That makes the $14 price tag even better! I'm thinking the tank and jacket might look good with a pair of slightly distressed jeans, and some strappy sandals.Here's hoping you have a wonderful weekend, friends! My sewing machine will be whirring!
