Fabric Haul- Bhatia Cloth House and Vietnam

I made my way over to the Bhatia Cloth House for the first time last weekend, and I am so thrilled with the things that I found!

The Cloth House was really beautiful and they had tons of gorgeous fabrics, as well as sarees and other fancy dress. The costumer service was really lovely, and I can't wait to make my way over there again to pick up more fabric!

This red and gold brocade is stunning, and a bit darker than the photo shows

Silk is so difficult to take pictures of! This one is more of a turquoise than a pure blue

This photo is actually pretty close to the real thing! I love that it can look purple or pink in different spots

I do have plans for all of the pieces that I picked up, but the only plan I will tell you about is for the mens suiting. 

Not only did I pick up fabric from the Cloth House, but I also ordered a few patterns not long ago. The 1940s pants are what I will be making with the mens suiting wool, and there is so much of it that I am hoping to also get a pencil skirt or blazer out of it!

The drawing on the left are the pants that I am going to make with the mens suiting material

Both of the patterns are from Simplicity. I have ordered a few patterns from Simplicity now, and they have always been great. The patterns have come quite quickly every time as well, which is very nice when ordering things online!

And there is more!
My boyfriend just got back from Vietnam, and he brought me back such beautiful things! He had an Ao Dai (traditional clothing from Vietnam) made for me, and I was given the extra fabric left over from that along with another chunk of fabric!

And here is the ao dai! You can't see details here, but it is made of the red and white fabric in the photo above this, and it is paired with red pants

Stay tuned for lots of exciting new projects!
