Pants fabrics -- success!
Fabric haul success! I'm very happy with what I found.
It was coupon day at Schröder and I picked up some lovely ends-of-bolts. Of course I couldn't resist the wools.
Top: Two wool coupons, together measuring a little over 2 meter. They cost € 18,35 together, which is a bargain.
Bottom: Three meters of wool straight off the bolt. It's a lovely colour blue that will bring out NoKey's eyes. I did promise him something new...and I'm paying (all € 59.70!), so he can't resist, now can he? *blinks innocently*
I can combine it with red too, that would be lovely and "Brothers-Limburg-y"
And these are the fabrics for my pants. anemoona gets to play with these for me.
I hope she'll be willing to transfer these into three pairs of trousers. Look, thebatsmeow, there's the herringbone we were talking about! (Click images for larger)
Top: a coupon of stretch cotton sateen which has a lovely shine. Hopefully the 2.2 meters will be enough, since it's only 1.40 wide.
Middle: Wool-terlenka blend grey/green herrinbone weave and matching stretch rayon lining. I paid altogether too much for this, but it'll be one lovely pair of trousers!
Bottom: Stretch rayon-terlenka blend, thick enough for winter. It's only 2.3 meters...
