Fabric and Football




Yesterday I went fabric buying and where the main fabric shop that I buy from is, there is also a premiereship football stadium.
Well, I usually know when there are home games on, but yesterday, I somehow forgot to check and lo and behold, I was caught up in the football crowd, so it took me twice as long to get to the shop!!!!
It was all worth it in the end as I picked up some great fabric and I can't wait to see them made up.
I picked up a metallic knit in 3 colours, khaki, black and cream all with a gold metallic yarn running through them - I loved all 3 and couldn't decide which one. I already have an idea of what I want to make with them.
The green and blue jersey photograph doesn't do the colour justice - they are more like emerald green and royal blue - really strong in depth colours.
Lastly I picked up 2 wool/viscose/elastane lengths in charcoal , light burgundy and a dove grey marl.
I'm going to try out the idea for the metallic knit today, so hopefully if it works, I will post the pictures soon.
Have a blessed day!
