The first thing I did was hit the remnants table, where you can score some fabulous deals. I got 2 1/8th yards of this strawberry print rayon for $7. I'll probably make a silly 50's dress out of it and wear it to the Cedarburg Strawberry Festival.

I also got this gorgeous blue and white floral print cotton for $6. There's only 1 7/8th yards, so maybe not enough to make a dress, but I have my eye on a wrap skirt pattern from Etsy that it would be perfect for.

For $2.99/yard, I got this pretty chiffon scarf-print. I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for, maybe a blouse? But for $2.99, I couldn't pass it up.

There was an entire table of $5.99 silk prints. Silk, for $5.99?! That's crazy! A lot of the prints weren't my style (they reminded me of ties) but I did pick up a few yards of this plum and blue print, and I already have a dress in mind for it.

Lastly, I picked up some crinkle silk and lining in a sea blue color. The fabric and lining aren't an exact match, but they're close and that's good enough for me. I think they'll be perfect for the swingy dress on the left.

I love the texture of the silk. I hope it's not hard to sew with.

I didn't buy much else shopping. Just a $10 clearance sweater from the Gap, and this vintage Swirl wrap dress for $18. It's going to be a long time before I get to wear it, but I have one other Swirl wrap dress and I love it, so I couldn't pass it up. You can't really tell from the picture, but it's seersucker.
That's all for now! I hope to start on a project tomorrow. My ivory crepe from Trim.com came, and I've got a 40's dress pattern all cut out and ready to go. There's no instructions, so it should be interesting!
