This recently Nikki and I took a trip to Fabric Land in Bournemouth to get some fabric for the Latin dresses, well that didn’t happen but I did come back with a big bag of new fabrics for me and here are some ideas of what I plan to sew with them (confession: some of these might already have been sewn up)

Some lovely Aztec print thick sweater material, it is kind of like sweatshirting but has a softer front than I would have expected from a sweatshirt. I plan to make a long Oslo Sweater from this lovely fabric

I’m thinking of making another Butterick B5997 from this lovely bright turquoise viscose fabric. I think the top needs some kind of closure at the top of the neck opening, a button and loop or a permanent ‘strap’.

This snuggly thin sweater knit I am thinking of making some thin mid layer jumper, Abderdeen (with a round neck, obviously) or a Renfrew.
![cotton bengaline, aubergine](https://i0.wp.com/www.fabricland.co.uk/PRUNE23.jpg?resize=306%2C300)
I have plans for this cotton Bengaline to become a pair of shorts. Possibly trying the fit of my first pair of bottoms from Burda Style magazine.

I think this chambray would work well for something like the Cheyenne Tunic. I’m thinking about modifying Butterick B5997 to have a partial placket and take out the gathers (and add a FBA).
You’ve got some gorgeous fabrics & patterns planned – best of luck in getting everything sewn, and please do report back on your journey!

Thanks. A couple more things in the pipe line but I’ve got to start wrapping up my “spring” sewing plans soon. Some progress posts to come soon
I really love how organised and structured your fabric plans are with the pattern pictures 🙂
Thanks, it is nice to have organisation with pictures but sometimes I am not this organised all the time :p
