l was sewing last night. Nothing unusual about that really. But, whilst sewing l pondered on colour.
My favourite colour is red. I love a red evening dress, and usually make one for Christmas. This year l didn't, l found a RTW outfit that looked good and was reasonably priced.
lf l were a fashion designer my last outfit in my collection would be reminiscent of Valentino and always be red, red, red!
How does this affect my overall choice in fabric? My eye is, l am afraid drawn to red, however l do try and make sure my entire wardrobe isn't red. If l am wearing a black outfit l like a bright jacket or coat (contrary to Melbourne, Australia dress code of black). On a gloomy day l like something bright and cheerful to brighten the mood. On a summers day, l like bright colours that make me feel cool.
The choice of fabric is about whimsy most times and usually reflects my mood. Hence the very large fabric stash.
Curious, how do you choose your fabric? I'd like to know.
Happy sewing.
