Sew What?

[shanmonster]

I went to Fabricland and looked all over for a fabric for my new Ghawazee coat. I wanted a white or pale dove grey wool, but none was to be found in the appropriate thickness. And then I found this in the sale rack for drapery/upholstery.

It's much richer in person. The photo doesn't really do it justice. It's a peculiar bluish-silver, with pale blue and gold embroidery. I plan on lining it with a heavy bluish-silver satin that my sister gave me as a birthday present years ago.

I also bought some dark blue and gold tassels, because I'm going to need a belt or hip sash to go with it. So now I just need to start cutting and sewing.

I always dread cutting into nice fabric.

Cutting into nice fabric scares me. I"m always sure I'll fuck it up.

That fabric is beautiful!
