Fabric Roll Call!

Thanks to generous family members, I have accumulated quite an impressive fabric stash. I like having options for sewing projects down the line (this is similar to my library book situation - must always have at least one back up!).

The next project I'm going to begin is a circle skirt using this whimsical giraffe and palm tree print! I plan on making it fuller than my black and white check wool circle skirt. I kind of wish I had made that one fuller, too, but I still love it.

I love this old pink geometric shape print. I'm thinking it would look nice for a full, short skirt.


I also might make a short skirt out of this one, but I'm not sure yet. The fabric is kind of stiff and coarse.



Here's the good ol' Anniversary Fabric. I started using this one for a full, short skirt but got discouraged and it's on hold. Should I make a longer circle skirt with it? A circle skirt is just so EASY and you get fullness and a lovely shape without having to worry about pleats or darts or anything like that.



This is an old pillowcase that I wish I could use for something. Any suggestions? The sheets to match might soon be too worn to use so, I could potentially have a lot of it. It looks a little washed out in this picture. The background color is aqua.



I also have some leftovers of this floral print that I used to make my sewing machine cover. 



And this silky, floral fabric is very special. I'm thinking I should make a top out of this. I found a couple patterns that I like.

  

I like this pattern a lot; specifically the one on the left.

 Or this one, but it looks like it could be difficult.


So, there you have it! I'd love to hear any suggestions or comments you have!
