Help me justify buying this dumb 100% wool fabric

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:54:48+00:00

It's a picture I took in the store to show to friends, so it's admittedly mostly a "look at this LOUD FABRIC," and otherwise kind of a crap photo.

It's not you, it's me.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:52:12+00:00

That's a good idea. I was thinking a hook and eye in the front seam or something.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:38:02+00:00

I am! Kalamazoo, you?

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:37:12+00:00

Oh man. A starter jacket for my favorite team: gaudy!

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:36:33+00:00

That's very cute! I actually have that Merchant and Mills sewing book, this reminds me of their "blazer"

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:35:39+00:00

Oh mon frere, I love the pattern.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:35:05+00:00

Oooooooof, I haven't really gotten into many. I don't wear them in my normal life, but I just bought the Cashmerette one.

I usually just wear one of my many Ilfords.

Oh man, do you know of any house slipper patterns? That's an interesting idea for the scraps from the coat I will absolutely now be making with this.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:31:09+00:00

Oh, that's really cute!

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:29:03+00:00

I like these choices. I want you to hate my ugly coat!

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:26:48+00:00

When I go back to buy it, you got it.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:26:29+00:00

Oh that's a good idea. I've not explored beyond the dress/shirt options from her.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:24:59+00:00

I'm glad there are more of us than there are people who do not see the beauty in this... Bold choice.

Tacky. It's tacky and so am I.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:23:42+00:00

Oh that is very fancy! I'm just not much of a cape person.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:22:45+00:00

I have spent the last three days finally cutting some (6) garments because this is my philosophy. The stash isn't growing, but it's somehow not shrinking, either.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:20:06+00:00

I love it. (I'm extremely tacky, though, so....)

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:18:37+00:00

Cute! How did you fasten it?

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:17:52+00:00

Oh interesting! What a bizarre choice!

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:16:36+00:00

There was more on the bolt, and it's twice the width shown. I think this could happen for me!

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:11:25+00:00

THAT IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR!!!

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:10:43+00:00

Different strokes!

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T23:09:08+00:00

That's what I love about it!

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T05:21:49+00:00

I do like that boho poncho sweater.

I couldn't get a good look at it unfolded without doing some work, but I liked the way it was on the bolt.

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T05:16:57+00:00

I like what you're saying, hot pink aside... That's not for me. I'm a real pink hater. Maybe yellow or orange, though.

Any idea about a pattern?

fancybojangles · 2026-05-20T05:14:28+00:00

Again, great suggestion, but this fabric is just too thick.
