Buy Fabric On Amazon.

Yep. On Amazon. And damn if I don't already see more pieces I want!!

Two weekends ago, I treated myself to some internet window shopping (hey--WINDOW shopping! GET IT?). I wanted to gaze at some rayon prints. I love me some rayon. It feels like a kitten's kiss on your bod and slinks while you walk like some sultry snake of a thing.

I don't know why I'm mixing mammals and reptiles.

My eye landed on the gorgeous saturated spongy rayon crepe you see above, from Designer Fabrics Warehouse. Then I started scrolling. THROUGH EVERY SINGLE PAGE OF THEIR 3,010 OFFERINGS. And I thought, why am I only window shopping? Didn't I say I'd use my Amazon affiliate pennies to keep up the sewin and bloggin habit? ISN'T BUYING THIS FABRIC THE RIGHT THING TO DO?! IN FACT, DO I REALLY HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE?! 

Successful in my rationalization, I loaded up my cart. This lightweight denim slub chambray, which is exactly as described in their shop, was added to make me feel better about the amusement park of technicolor print I'd chosen. You know, trying to beef up the casual wear section of my closet. A shirtdress? A jumpsuit? Is a jumpsuit casual?

Here's the only headscratcher of the group...it is, once again, exactly as described. So I should have known that this lightweight "non drapey" "crisp poplin" with a "papery feel" was not the droid for the button up summer maxi skirt I envisioned. This is the only one I didn't wash yet, because I'm considering using it as a photo backdrop and I want to keep all the length & width I can. Tee hee, and tra la.

Unlike DWF's shot of this beautiful poly ponte-like knit, this ain't exactly the color--the background is more gray than blue. But, again, kudos to DWF, what you see on Amazon is what you get. I love this color combo! I'll probably use it for a pencil skirt. I think! I JUST DON'T KNOW! DELICIOUS INDECISION!

It's a great shop. The descriptions are precise, like someone who sews, or at least cares about fabric, wrote them. The cuts are generous, and the fabrics came out of the pre wash beautifully. Though each fabric page states its own shipping charge, once you fill up your cart it's a flat 6.95 shipping charge. And orders over 50 bucks get free shipping. They ship from LA (maybe they have a garment district brick & mortar?) and Mr Postman delivered these on Saturday (a full week ahead of Amazon's prediction), I had them in the wash by dusk, and once they were out, I knew I was hollering about them ASAP. I spent Sunday playing with the rayon crepe. I want to live in that rayon crepe. Part of me didn't even want to tell y'all bout that rayon crepe.

But go. Go, my friends. Buy the crepe. Love the crepe. BE the crepe.

ETA: A word of caution, do be careful about what's in your cart--I can only vouch for my fabric experience with Designer Fabrics Warehouse, which is smaller third party seller. Amazon's crafty layout makes it easy to navigate to fabrics from other sellers. Here's DFW's Storefront!
