Here’s my paltry progress on my toe up sock. I’m worried it’s too wide.
I went to my local fabric store to get some interfacing for my jeans’ waistband. (She sold me horsehair. How cool is that?)
I wanted a floral fabric to make a top out of to work with my collection palette. There were many lovely floral fabrics, but most were very bright or a large print. I kept remembering to myself “wearable” “something I would be comfortable in” “something with some green or saffron” “roses” “must work with denim”. I think I did pretty well. I need a pattern, though.
ETA: Found a vintage pattern on Etsy!

Lovely fabric! It’s so easy to just pick what you like and not consider what you’ll actually wear. You did great!
I like that pattern! The style is so wearable. I used to have a couple of shirts just like it:)

Your sock is looking lovely so far – love that yarn! That is great fabric – it will make a beautiful top, and will look really good done up in that pattern. Great finds all around 🙂

A very sensible way to fabric shop, I must try it some time. Although it’s so hard to resist the pretty, pretty fabric!
