herzeloyde's birthday party toady. So now I have my pretty, pretty fabric at home.
The dark brown wool with minty "spots" is for a 40s skirt and waist coat. The mint green wool (with some poly) flannel, which I had before, perfectly matches the "spots" and will be made into a jacket with a collar from the brown and a skirt - which gives me a suit with two different skirts.
The rayon brocades with metal threads will be trim and revers on my coming Swedish/German loose gown from the 1560s. They do NOT photograph well, but both the gold and the dark red one are gorgeous.
