FO FINDS: CHANEL BOUCLE TWEED REMNANT

Check out this amazing remnant I picked up today at Britex Fabrics. I was shopping for some notions to make a fascinator to wear to my friend’s impending wedding, but when I walked in my attention was immediately grabbed by this piece of boucle tweed. I was really not in the market to buy a somewhat spendy piece of fabric, but the mixture of earthy nubbiness and sequins, as well as my undying love of Chanel (this was sourced from the house that produces their fabrics) proved irresistible.

Fortunately for me, my temporary indecision was interpreted as haggling (it’s kind of hard to truly haggle when you have a fussy baby strapped to your chest, though perhaps his crabbing worked to my advantage), and I even got a little bit of a deal out of it. Now I just need to find the perfect pattern to make the cropped jacket of my dreams come to life.
