denim delight…

One of my favourite projects from the past few years has been that  camo Jean jacket from 2019, where, I knit the side panels and sleeves because I didn't have enough fabric for the entire sewing project -https://knitwords.blogspot.com/2019/07/camoflague.html - that’s the start of the story. If you’re really interested, go back and, down on the right side, click  on 2019, July to see what happened. Here’s the finale  https://knitwords.blogspot.com/2019/08/now-i-know-why.html  

I still love it, have worn it a lot, have wanted another but trying to find just the right print fabric in the right weight/thickness  been the main issue. Our local Fabricland has been drastically reduced, and travelling in the past five years, blah, blah, blah, you know the story. In October this year, I went to Vancouver to visit little sis. Checking the internet and local sources there proved discouraging. We even went to the island and hit Nanaimo, which had listings for 3 fabric stores!! Oh my! Yeah, you know it, the internet lies! They weren’t fabric stores, they were quilt shops! Disappointing doesn’t cover it. 

Anyway, last month, manfriend and I went to Duluth, Mn and found a Joann! Omg! There was two denim-y prints that looked quite good and since I couldn’t decide which one, light or dark, came home with both! 

Working on the dark one first…
