Fashion Fabrics Club Goodies ~ Candace Draws My Lost Dress

The precuts from any fabric store are usually a one & done deal. Meaning, once they’re purchased, they’re gone. But it’s fun to scroll through them (if you’re so inclined) and I will leave a link here to FFC’s home page:

I’ll copy my invoice:

2 yd piece sky blue/taupe linen - $14
4.75 yd piece deep sea blue georgette - $16
3.75 yd piece rose/white (rayon challis?) - $12
2 5/8 yd piece black/lilac/orchid knit - $8
3.5 yd piece toffee tencel - $13
3 yd piece blue/navy doubleknit (stripes) - $11
3 yd piece light plum modern floral - $10

Exciting, delightful, and motivational YOU!!!! Please don’t be embarrassed if you don’t have finished garments to show us!!!! I think I speak for most of your audience that we love whatever you are presenting as you make us smile!!!! I loved this one as I also get giddy over fabric finds!! Last year I went to an estate sale and I was inside a little longer than I intended. As I went outside to checkout I had to peek at the large tent set up in the yard!!!! When I peeked around the corner my eyes popped out of my head because the tent was FULL of fabric!!!! The lady was a quilter and so most were cottons woven! I stayed another several hours. When I checked out they said we will be open tomorrow too with more discounts!!!! I had just lost my mother who would have gone absolutely nuts in there, so I had to make her proud!!!! Of course I was there the next day and I suppose I bought more fabric than most and so they asked me if I wanted to purchase the remaining for one price!!!! There was no way I could store it all and sadly I declined!!! I really need to get on the stick now with sewing!!! I’m just a bit downhearted with the situation of our world right now and your happy personality brightens my day!!! Keep on shining!

I think you’re just the cutest lady! Upbeat & always smiling! Thank you! I enjoy watching your videos so much.

We don't just love you for your sewing we love you just for you. It's true. You made me laugh and smile today.
Thank you and stay well. Psalm 91

OMG....when you first held the drawing up, I thought "YOU FOUND IT"! She is an excellent artist!

[jackiewaters]

Your daughter is a amazing artist . That is amazing

[paulasherrod]

Viv, you can put a smile on my face anytime. You have great humor and a positive attitude and it’s nice to see during this critical time in our lives. Positive thoughts bring positive results and I myself are sticking to that!!! Stay well....

Sewing content or not, it's always delightful to watch a video from you! And to see your joy while opening up a fabric order is wonderful and very relatable! If worse comes to worse, just show us your works in progress, or do a chatty video while you work on your maxi dress, even if you work on it in little snippets of time. 💜💜💜

[sbrickett]

You are so funny! I laughed out loud several times. Just what I needed, thanks.

[susanroome]

You are such a hoot Viv! I always enjoy your vlogs. Go easy on yourself and do puzzles if you feel like it. Your sewing mojo will come back, don't stress! Take care.

I'm sewing face masks for the hospital using the pattern on their website. Also, using the pattern to make face masks for friends and family. I'm using 100% cotton quilting fabric and 100% cotton thread. I'm working on my second dozen. The pattern has six pieces and a pocket for inserting a filter. The original instructions were the pits, but after making a few I've reduced it to batch sewing. Anything to keep busy, be useful and avoid housework.

[David-nudr]

Thank you for your SUNNY video. Stay home, stay safe. Love ya'!

[marymowery]

Many of us have put our projects on hold to start chain piecing face masks. It is very satisfying.

My sewing mojo is gone too. Keep going into my craft room and fiddling with stuff but nothing.

[ccpperrett]

That fabric looks beautiful and delicious. I have to agree with the no "mojo." Someone explained that it is a communal grief, a loss of normalcy. We'll get through it. I do have to agree it feels the same as when I was grieving after someone has died. I just don't have the mental energy. Even my memory is affected, and I feel sad. I find something positive to look forward to every day. I was tempted to eat some ice cream tonight, which I don't normally do. I had some vitamin C instead with a little orange juice and barley green.
Love you Viv. Thanks for being a bright spot in our day. We have much to be thankful for. Hugs to you and your family. Jesus is risen! Praise the Lord! He is risen!

[dianechoate]

What a lovely artist your daughter is! Lollygagging and lollydragging seems normal with folks that sew. I think you hit it on the head there...creativity saves us! Love you, Vivmom! Great bargains. Great fabric!

[dianethomlinson]

Your Candace draws beautifully! Love your sharing! Lord Jesus bless you & yours. Grandma👵❤❤❤

[smallfootprint]

Yes, the plum lawn would make a beautiful long open front gathered skirt with tie, to go over a close fitting tee and slim fit pants. It would be so beautiful kept more whole. Thanks for showing us you haul from Fashion Fabrics. Donating clothes overseas is a wonderful idea. I've been missing you. CU soon.

[laurajones]

Candace certainly is talented-love the dress pattern drawing! Great FCC fabric. I think I can qualify as VP of Vivmom's Lollydragging club. I cut out a simple knit top, sat around doing word puzzles and then ordered more fabric from Fabric Mart. Should you require club uniforms, I bought the blush pink crinkle knit and the teal/sea green floral pique bottomweight..🤣

[yomama]

Candice did a magnificent rendering 😱🥰🥰. Beautiful fabric 💜💜💜
