Made by a Fabricista: Fun Fabrics

I am so happy to still be a part of the Fabricista Blogger Team. I joined in the middle of the pandemic and have really enjoyed myself as a blogger. Fabric Mart has truly been my go to place for shopping for fabulous fabrics that reflect my style. I love that I get to shop deadstock fabric that will help give fabrics additional lifespan and fabric is typically limited quantities so you will be part of the few with that fabric. As someone who is big on individuality this is such a plus for me.

Can we also talk about the great sales that Fabric Mart runs? I literally stalk the site daily to find new fabrics and catch the featured sales. During one of my daily visits to the site I came across this gorgeous corduroy fabric with a unique animal print. At the time I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to make with it but I just knew I had to use this for my next featured make. I was also able to get matching thread, another feature I love about Fabric Mart so I can get right to sewing my project.

I decided to make ME2069 View B for the pants. I hadn’t made pants in awhile and figured I could use a cool pair to add to my wardrobe. The pattern is a wide leg of pants with a front fly zip and waistband. Being 5’9 I added 3 inches to my length and about 1.5” to my back rise for a better fit. Pants are my favorite thing to make and this was such a satisfying sew.

This fabric was great to sew with, very soft, lightweight and easy to press. It is also very comfortable and warm when worn, perfect for this unpredictable Texas weather. I still have a little under a yard left and I am considering making a baseball cap or vest to go with the pants.
