The Brown Fabrics

Are very difficult to photograph!

Brown Fabrics - pieced one is for bias cut skirt

It looks quite greyed out here.

The close-up is better for the real colours:

Brown fabric - closer view

I spent last night doing this:

I love Burda World of Fashion - but tracing patterns is still a pain!

So later tonight I might even *gasp* cut into the fabric! (but only if the tissue-fitting goes well… otherwise it’s back on the table for more alterations…)

    You are brave - love the fabric. Might have to get along to the Gardams opening and grab a bargain too. Di

    The brown has a lovely red brown look about it, not brown-brown.
    Try looking for the new red shoes that are about and make a top to match?
    Love the fabric.

    Dianne, why brave? Huh? It’s just fabric!

    Fran, I hadn’t thought of that - definitely taking a good swatch with me to look next time - red or crimson/brown (odd colour but I’m sure I’ve seen shoes in it) could be just the shot! Thanks!
