I’ll have a longer post later about my trip to the UK that I just got home from, but I wanted to do a separate post about my pilgrimage to Liberty for fabric.

The last time I went to London was in October 2017. I started sewing in February 2018. So I had little interest in fabric shopping back then. How things have changed!

I literally teared up when I walked into the area with the fabric. It’s just so beautiful. I made a lap of the floor to get the lay of the land, and then had to go peruse other parts of the store because I was overwhelmed. I get decision fatigue at the best of times, I knew it was going to be bad here.

So the fact that I was there only an hour or so is quite impressive. I knew if I didn’t make a decision relatively quickly, I never would. (This was my strategy at Mood last month as well.)

I wasn’t going to limit myself to sale fabrics, but I also knew I could get more if I did. At $38 a meter in today’s exchange rates, I would have limited myself to two meters, but since I hit up the sale section, I was able to get three. Plus a bunch of other stuff.

I really loved this fabric, but they didn’t have much on the bolt, so I just bought a handkerchief:

I bought two one-meter remnants of this, hopefully I can make a top or a skirt out of it:

And I was able to get three meters of this. I think I can get a dress out of it.

I really don’t know what patterns I’m going to use. I don’t want to rush into making anything.

I also got this tote bag:

Now. What am I going to make??
