Trouser News!
And it is good trouser news... So, I went to Toronto last month (hence the brief hiatus. Sorry), and managed to get some serious, serious fabric bargains. There are a few shops on and around Queen Street which offer incredible prices on genuinely lovely fabric. Wools, silks, linens, even some thread and notions, and they were CHEAP. One of the bargains I got was some gorgeous superfine wool tabby, for the equivalent of £7.50 per metre. The lady at the shop even burn tested it without prompting, and was very helpful to me and Madame while we were having a poorly day. Shout out to Fabric By Designers for their helpfulness! So nice. So soft. So wool. This stuff is beautifully soft, drapes gorgeously, and I grabbed a yard and a half of it to make my Viking trousers, because it's ideal! I wish I'd bought more now...ah well! I measured them based off my housemate's pair, as I mentioned in an earlier post, as they're ideal in terms of the look they provide.
