A few weeks ago, I finally decided to use my Smuggler's Daughter gift card that I won from the CSC Wrap Along. It was so hard to make a decision that it took me a while, but finally I decided what I wanted. Yesterday, the door bell rang and I figured it was more Christmas gifts to wrap. Then I saw the label on the box and I did a little happy dance. It was my Smuggler's Daughter order.
When I opened the box, this is what I saw:
This is my first order from Smuggler's Daughter, and let me tell you...I am quite impressed. Wanna see what was inside this pattern paper with a red bow?
Both of these great fabrics are still available. The knit fabric is called Lucky Lavender Knit. It feels dreamy. Perfect mid weight knit, and the color...it is really a grey purple. I just LURVE it!
The wool plaid is an Italian 50% virgin wool and 50% cotton blend. It is called Lake Lavanda Plaid. I didn't realize that it was a textured wool, but I really like it. It matches the knit really well. It has a nice drape and is not as stiff as some wool fabrics. It is almost like a really thick flannel.
There will be a shirt and skirt combo in the new year. Count on that! Now I just have to figure out what kind of a skirt to make. So many possibilities...decisions, decisions!!!
What type of skirt do you all think I should make? A half circle? A maxi length skirt? A pencil skirt? I just am not sure where I will be headed with this, but I am excited to get there.
What is your favorite skirt pattern that would work with this great plaid wool? Talk to me friends, because I need some creative inspiration here.

That's going to be fabulous! I love the packaging that SD does. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tanya! That little something extra that companies do is what tends to keep me coming back.
DeleteNice choices! I rec'd my "prize" fabrics too, but haven't posted about them yet. Haven't posted about ANYTHING lately.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to get posts up this time of year, and seems not many people are looking at posts right now either. If I stop a week turns in to a month, and then a few months. I can't wait to see what goodies you got though!
