Oooohhh, cool new site for my bookmarks, thanks!
I'm headed over to a couple of local fabric stores today.
The fabric I would like to find was walking away from me
recently on a stranger. It was a print of several colors of
deep burgundy -forest green - dark royal blue paisley. I
know I won't find *that* but I'd love something with several
colors in a print. I'm tired of one-color jackets, that's
all I've been wearing recently.

Thanks! I had looked there, several of the interesting ones
are marked "sold out" :-(

Thanks, but, I'm also counting the finished embroidered
shirts for DD, so THREE recent projects are completed. ;-)
And, not to highjack your thread about the "serger oops" on
the prom dress, but as I was embroidering the third shirt,
the machine was humming along as usual, when suddenly I
heard, "chunk...chunk...chunk...". Aaack! One of the
sleeve hems was under the embroidery field. That is a risk
when working on RTW garments, it's really hard to get the
hoop in position and have a clear field to stitch, AND have
none of the garment pulled under the hoop. I was able to use
my stitch shaver to remove the offending stitches, and
finish the job. And the hem was not damaged. Whew!

now hearing about it?? ;)
