And the blouse is perfection with so much dimension with the twist of the fabric.

I've spent over a decade amassing fabric I loved when I saw it at low prices, so this is not a totally accurate view of what's common. You can expect to pay $5-10/yd with specialty fabrics/fibers closer to $12-15/yd. Skirts take 2-3 yds, blouses take 1.5-2.5 yds, dresses take anywhere from 2.5-4.5 yds. Misc notions, etc run about $5-10 per project. So you can do the math from there! :-)<br /><br />Sewing isn't a cheap hobby, but I think it's worth it! And then there are always times (like this blouse fabric!) when you're gifted fabric due to your reputation. ;-)<br /><br />Let me know if you have any more questions!Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-32483394262462200362017-09-28T16:50:30.921-05:002017-09-28T16:50:30.921-05:00Thank you, Stina!
