So after finding the perfect fabric phone calls were made and i found the necessary 12 yards (actually 11 1/2 yards) at a store in Fremont. The fabric was just too perfect of a match to pass up the opportunity. So the 1 hour trek in the car was made down there (and now i remember how much i hate rush hour traffic). Arrived in the store and after a few minutes found what i was looking for. Yea!!! Then i found there were two bolts... not good. Yep, the phone calls and staff help had failed to mention that the fabric wasn't in a single piece. Oh well, it's still too good to pass up. So it was purchased and the remaining 1 1/2 yards from El Cerrito was also purchased (yes, someone totally bought some of my precious fabric while i wasn't looking) to ensure i had enough to work in the pieces. After getting home and looking at the pattern pieces lengths i should be fine. Here is the spread...
Still on the look out for lining. Thinking of a brown twill to match the homespun...
Natural check linen for petticoat, Wine/Tan/Brown Homespun for the body, Red Velveteen for the trimming
