theladyrebeccaBut at least it doesn't go bad!
Okay, that was a lame pun. But as promised, here are the results of all my CosCol-related shopping. Or at least, most of it (since this doesn't include a couple bargain basement things, my feathers from the Fabric District, and all my marketplace shopping).
First up, the few fabrics, notions, and lots of patterns that I got from the Bargain Basement, as well as my lovely Silent Auction win (the Costume Close-up book)
My silks! Bolt-ends from Home Fabrics, at $5/yd each. There's only 1.5 yds of the stripes, but I'm hoping to squeak out a pet en lair, the 4.5 yds of silk brocade will become an 18th c petticoat, and the 3.5yd red stripe and 5.5 yd blue/green shot haven't told me what they want to be yet.
Three fabrics I got for thinking about Regency and late 18th c. The blue/white stripe is unfortunately poly, but was $2.95/yd (and I now have 11.5 yds of it, 110 or so inches wide). The other two (swiss dot and embroidered/eyelet stripe) are both cotton.
And lace for cavalier, and trims and a buckle for 18th c. Unfortunately, I didn't have my Cavalier sketched out before I went to the fabric district, so I didn't buy the absolutely perfect orange/pink shot silk taffeta on sale at Home Fabrics... :(
