Here are pictures of the material I got.
This is a pink flowered material. It was on clearance for $2 a yard! I LOVE clearance!!
The Home School group is doing a Civil War day this fall. So I will probably use this pattern with brown accents and a brown sash. The 2nd picture is a a better idea of what color the material really is..
Except we are making her jacket out of this brown material.
This material I bought to reproduce a shirt I saw at Maurice's. I will be putting sleeves on my shirt and I am going to make it in a regency dress instead. The shirt I saw had white underneath, but I liked the green better :) The white material was $13 a yard, but it was 50% off. But! When they rang it up it was only $2.49 a yard!!!!!! YAY!!!!!
I love shopping for material!!!! And sewing!!
Now, I just need a new sewing machine... :{

ooo... I love all of it!
I love shopping for material too. Except when I get frustrated 'cause I can't find what I want. But otherwise...it's too much fun.
I love all the fabrics! Those will make great CW dresses. I can't wait for pictures.

i didn't know you had civil war stuff up there... did you know i did a few reenactments back in nebraska? i really enjoyed dressing up and wearing hoops! i even wore a *gasp* corset! it wasn't one that squeezed me so tight i couldn't breathe or anything... maybe it wasn't exactly authentic to the time period, but...
