goodwill find!
#1
Went to goodwill the other day. Wasn't really expecting to get anything... just looking. Well I found both a desk for $10 that I can use for sewing (finally don't have to sew on the kitchen counter anymore, however I will have to share the desk with the new computer I'm getting) and also a purple & teal dress for $5 that I couldn't really imagine anyone actually ever wearing, but I loved the fabric... and I've been wanting to make a purple quilt for my mom. Maybe for her birthday, will probably end up being for Christmas though since her birthday is in September. I don't really know what exactly to do with the fabric though... what do y'all think?
It's a size 12, long-sleeved dress.. so I've got a decent amount of fabric.

size 12- decent amount of fabric- I resemble that remark! he he.
love the fabric- I wouldn't wear the dress though. :)
That would make a cool wide border on something with golds and purples and deep greens.

Great fabric! As far as size goes, my best friend in the whole world summed it up perfectly a long time ago. When Cheryl Tiegs was at the height of her modeling career, I was reading an article that said she was 5'10" tall and weighed 110 lbs. My friend looked at me and said "Poor deformed darling"! ROFL. And now both of us would KILL to be the size we were when she said that!
