Fabric hunt!

[gem]

I have a bee in my Henrician bonnet to make a peacock blue jacket/waistcoat (from the Tudor Tailor pattern), and I'm wondering if anyone has come across anything online lately that would work--wool flannel, velveteen, even corduroy...?



If you see something, let me know!

Gramercy!

Do you want it pre-embroidered (like a sari) or plain?  And do you want a H/A fabric or would dupoini work?

Oh, good questions! I was thinking plain/solid, and something more hefty than silk (although Fabric Mart has a gorgeous dupioni!). I'm going to wear it with my coral linen dress (along with whatever else it occurs to me to wear with it), so it shouldn't be too "fancy."  I have some leftover yardage of peacock blue velveteen from my first dress (not enough to make a garment with), which made me think of it.

It's not *quite* the color you are looking for but I think a box of teal dye would work on it.

Theres a bunch of wool on sale at fabric.com but I couldn't find anything in the color you are looking for.
Its mostly brown and 1 lavender

There are also some lovely creams, reds, and even a beautiful pink that I just picked up.  You can dye the creams the right color.

Gem,
Joanns has some awesome AWESOME wool, it is 26.99 but with a 50% off coupon it might be worth it!  I have been lusting after the grey myself, and blue and black as well.

Oh, thanks, Cilean! (waves!!)  I actually ended up buying two heavy velveteen curtain panels from World Market several weeks ago. I think they're going to work out really well.

I was just at Renaissance Fabrics yesterday, but only to grab a link; didn't linger long enough to drool over their stock. Guess I'll have to go back!

I just looked at their stock, wow!  What beautiful fabrics!  I just purchased some black on white embroidered cotton, waiting for it to get delivered.  It's 98% cotton, and 2% lycra.  I hope it breathes!  Here's a link to what I ordered  http://www.denverfabrics.com/p/11048/White-Black-Embroidered-Floral-Cotton
