I've been struggling with cutting out dagged Medieval over-sleeves all day. Two of the colour combinations I've chosen need cream linings, and the first set was cut with shiny satin. But I thought the satin was a bit too plain and shiny. I wanted something with a bit more texture, so off to Fabricland to see what they had. Came home with the last 4 metres of a nice cream taffeta that was on sale, re-cut all the linings, but they didn't like my iron - melted! The saleslady at Fabricland had suggested I try Fabric Towne on Lawrence between Brimley and Midland for more variety of trims, so we went to check it out. The place had the most amazing sari fabrics and trims! I picked up a new textured cream satin so I can replace the sleeve linings a third time. I also got some trims for several of the gowns I'm planning. I'll definitely be back to check out that store again!!
