Fabric haul success! I'm very happy with what I found.
It was coupon day at Schröder and I picked up some lovely ends-of-bolts. Of course I couldn't resist the wools.



Top: Two wool coupons, together measuring a little over 2 meter. They cost € 18,35 together, which is a bargain.
Bottom: Three meters of wool straight off the bolt. It's a lovely colour blue that will bring out NoKey's eyes. I did promise him something new...and I'm paying (all € 59.70!), so he can't resist, now can he? *blinks innocently*
I can combine it with red too, that would be lovely and "Brothers-Limburg-y"

And these are the fabrics for my pants. [livejournal.com profile] anemoona gets to play with these for me.

I hope she'll be willing to transfer these into three pairs of trousers. Look, [livejournal.com profile] thebatsmeow, there's the herringbone we were talking about! (Click images for larger)

Top: a coupon of stretch cotton sateen which has a lovely shine. Hopefully the 2.2 meters will be enough, since it's only 1.40 wide.
Middle: Wool-terlenka blend grey/green herrinbone weave and matching stretch rayon lining. I paid altogether too much for this, but it'll be one lovely pair of trousers!
Bottom: Stretch rayon-terlenka blend, thick enough for winter. It's only 2.3 meters...

It's lovely isn't it?
I only bought the lining fabric because wool always makes me itchy :)

I agree. They feel totally different on and make such a difference.

That is a nice little haul you have there. The herringbone is lovely, but all of them are nice indeed.
