Vogue fabric!

*Enter the giveaway by Thursday, if you want some vintage patterns*

On Sunday, I trekked south to Vogue Fabrics; when traffic is reasonable it's only about 20 minutes away and it was on a Sunday at noon. I wanted to find some silk to make some blouses. After a disappointing trip to the mall a few weekends ago, I decided I need to make myself some basics. I just cannot justify paying $90 bucks for a silk blouse at Banana Republic, when I can make one myself...though making basics is a boring task. 

The black and white print is a yard of silk for some kind of cute blouse. I have numerous blouse patterns, so no EXCUSES, Molly! Vogue didn't have any basic black or white silk for whatever reason, but they do have a section for Black Basics and White Basics. I found two super cheap, polyester fabrics that feel like silk. Even my nice cutting lady though it was silk before she looked at the tag. 

 I also could not resist this polyester print! It's red, white and blue (like the French flag) and it has tiny Parisian monuments and cafes and such all over it. I am going to make a dress, and be that Crazy French Teacher (TM). I mean, I already say bonjour to all my students every time I see them- so about a billion times a day. My brain is crossing some kind of line, where outside of class I say merci to people in stores...

Get pumped, I am making some clothes! Two more weeks of work and then I get summer too! Awwwww yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssss!
