1) Muted Multicoloured Print Stretch Jersey Clearance Dress Fabric. I'm thinking maybe maxi dress, if it won't stretch out of shape too much.
2) Aqua Summer Floral Print 100% Cotton Lawn Designer Dress Fabric. This looks a bit like a Boden fabric to me. I have a little top in something similar. I'm not sure if I need another one...

3) Black Brown Tweed Double Jersey Dress Fabric.
I have a long-sleeved Burda dress in mind for this, for an Autumn outfit.

4) Black/Green/Brown Stretch Cotton Canvas Designer Dress Fabric.
I think this one looks promising as it should have some structure and some stretch. Got to be a shift dress. It's fairly expensive, so I will have to test-drive a pattern before committing.
Lengths of fabrics purchased:
1) Plain Dark Red Viscose Jersey.
This was an impulse buy as it was too cheap to bother with a sample. Possibly might end up as a Cynthia Rowley dress.
2) Navy Gaberchino Poly/Cotton Dress Fabric
I love the sound of "gaberchino" - it's lighter than gaberdine. I had a sudden urge to make some shorts, hopefully in time for my holiday at the end of the month. I'm really hoping this isn't as shiny as it looks in the picture!
3) Plum Morgan Crepe Jersey.
This is supposed to be a good quality jersey. Again, it might end up as a Cynthia Rowley number.
So, I am now feeling very guilty about my purchases, particularly as I still have plenty in my stash that I haven't sewn up yet. But I've got the makings of 2 dresses and a pair of shorts, plus some potential fabric choices for the autumn. Going to be busy...
