My fabric Depot Order

here are some pictures from my Fabric Depot order.

It was like opening a box of Cracker Jacks only better.

Better prizes of course and though I was not exactly sure what I would get I am happy with all of it. Yeah!

First was the lace. Wow! How much fun to pull piece after piece out of it. I got quite a few “big” pieces. The widest is an all over pattern that is 13″ wide.  And many colors of smaller edging style laces that will give me lots to work with for sure. In the two pictures of lace there are also big pieces on the back of the couch that didn’t quite make it into the picture —you can see the hot pink piece a little bit.

In addition the close up has a very nice 8″ wide galloon (double edged) 2 ish yard segment of black lace that does not show up at all. It just looks like a big black spot of my couch. Most of the smaller laces are at least 4 yards, and most are much longer. I have a couple of 2 to 3 inch wide fancy fancy laces (double edged, very intricate design and two colored) that are only a bit over a  couple of yards but …hey…I can find something for them to be attached to. ;-)

The other pics are of my nylon —and believe me the colors are much better in person. I think the shiny of the nylon fabric doesn’t come across well in a photo. You also can’t see the very large piece of heavy weight black that I got—again color/picture/couch issue. However you can see the others plus the close up of the purple that I really like. All are more than a yard. Overall…I like all the colors and prints —- I wondered if I would but I do. And though maybe I might not have picked all those exact colors or prints myself I do like all of them. An example would be the khaki green one. If I were just looking at a bolt of that color surrounded by my more favorite colors— I would not have chosen it. Yet with all the lace hanging around on the other end of the couch I definitely “see” possibilities for it.

The fabrics are of different weights as expected. Most all are mid weight —though the large  black piece is a heavier weight and probably won’t need any lining to help keep “everything” in place if I make it into a bra.  There are two light weight pieces including one of the pink flowered segments. I think I will take the heaviest and one of the lightest with me this next week to the bra making class and ask specifically: “can I get away with not lining this” and ” what would I put under this to keep it from squooshing where ever it wants to go if I use it for a bra” . Maybe the light weight piece is better suited for a nightie or something other than a bra and I will just make it into something for my niece (no nylon nighties for me thanks though).

So, here are all the pictures that I said I would post. I didn’t put in pics of everything I got which was a BIG box full. Of  course elastics, powernet and other lingerie accessories aren’t really “all that” to look at so no big deal leaving them out.

Now? On to that class so I (and my sewing machine and maybe even my serger) can make use of all this “stuff” I just purchased.

Florida here I come and ….I’ll be sure to take pictures of the class to post here. (hopefully I won’t forget!)
