stellar_muddleI bought fabric (though not 500m of oilskin or canvas...)
Mopey morning mood was very well distracted by a trip to the new place to clear out the letter box and check that it hasn't been burnt down or anything. Then I got introduced to a local dangerous fabric store. Mostly it was safe (prices a bit higher than I tend towards) til we went upstairs. Weakness found.
I paid more than $10 a metre for wool...
However it was 190cm wide medium to light weight brown red wool with a woven in diamond pattern - I have been looking such woven in patterns for ages since they are far more applicable to early period fabrics which weren't fulled. So, $15 a metre, but only 3 m needed for 2 garments.
So, another 3 m of wool for the stash. Will start on making stuff with it as soon as I finish the blue linen tunic.
Oops...
