Most of the time I feel a bit of guilt when buying fabric that I really don't have a specific use for like this one.
My stash does tend to get out of control cuz while I'm often short of sewing time, I always manage to have shopping time. However, there was no way I was passing up this beautiful lining fabric at $1 a yard. There were two pieces of the same fabric, both marked "as is" $1 for 3 yards. I've checked the fabric over several times and have not found any flaws, though.
It's been sitting in the stash for over a year. Yesterday I found the most beautiful corduroy that would work perfectly for a jacket pattern that had been sitting here for about two years. Even better, the lining matches the corduroy! Yes! It was a great idea to buy it--not feeling any guilt now. Keeping a stash does pay off. These two were made for each other.
And the paisley and blue cords HAVE to be together in this jacket.
The paisley will just be on the bodice. No more computer until this jacket is finished. That should give me some incentive to git-er-done.
