Fabrics
Pre-piercing Saturday was spent looking for fabrics. Cherie needed to swatch for an upcoming show, I needed fabric for a corset that Kit and Cherie are going to help me make, and we needed fabric for the jacket that Cherie is making for me. We left Cherie in Mood to swatch while we went searching for various other things.
Success on all fronts.
Cherie walked out of Mood with pockets full of swatches. I found 2 fabrics that I want to make the corset in... both are Chinese brocades with bamboo print, one black-on-black for the side panels, and one light and dark grey on a medium grey/silver for the center panel. A picture of both together here, to show the contrast. No pictures of the jacket fabric as Cherie took that home with her, but it's also a black-on-black brocade pattern, though not a Chinese pattern, something that looks more period.
Kit mainly suffered from "I would really like this fabric to make XYZ out of...", but the large stack of unfinished and pending projects and the apparantly large selection of fabrics he's already hoarded over time meant that it wasn't really a good idea to add more work and fabric to the pile :)
A productive day all up, which was good.
