fabric, finally

I went to Jomar when I was in Philly and went a little crazy. There really isn't anywhere around here that has great fabric for $1-$2/yd. I spent $70, but i got 5 yards of good suiting velvets ($9/yd) and a lot of other great stuff.



the dot taffetas will be a 3 piece suit. not this blouse I think, but something frilly in the yellow sheer nylon with blue jacket and red skirt


This gold velvet will be a 40s style pantsuit, but shorts - like tap pants.


chenille on silver tafetta playsuit. I have some vintage teal silk satin in my stash for the bust fins.


Finally something really good for the Mary Quant romper - gold/copper glitter on black velvet. Can't decide if it should be the short or long version..


I got the last 3 yards of this printed velvet. I'll be doing a 70s 3 piece suit - wide leg pants, fitted vest and matching blazer


This pastel corduroy was too cute to leave behind for $1.yd. I'll do this 50s crop top again



So Jomar always has something you don't expect since they get odd lots, leftover stock, vintage stock, etc. This time it was a lot of applique pieces. At 29 cents each for most of them I basically got 1 of each - the best of which being these early 1980s embroidered denim pockets - Sneaker Cat and some really radical stars




I think I did pretty well for a long-term stock-up.
