A recent trip to mainland china yielded many treasures, but none so full of promise than these silk and linen fabrics. Metallics, brocades, gold lame and camo – what more could a sewing minded, DIY addicted girl need? My only issue now is finding the time to make skirts and dresses out of these gorgeous fabrics – I need a clone who I can lock up in the house and force to make me things whilst I swan around town wearing said things. But you will be happy to know that last night I finished making something out of the lilac linen – stay tuned! Do you have any ideas about what I could do for the rest of the pieces I bought?

They are some stunning fabrics. Some cute skirts and cut out panel tops would be cute. I think your heading into Winter though so cant wait to see what you come up with.
I absolutely love linen fabric. I’d make so many random pencil skirts just so that I’d have a fun piece to wear to work.

Wow, gorgeous fabrics. I especially like the one on top in the first picture.
That brocade would make an awesome caplet. Definitely something structured though. I love fabric shopping, I can only imagine how much fun it is in a place like China.
beautiful!
Maybe some cool cuffed shorts?
Xoxoo

I would definitely make a Proenza-inspired skirt out of one of the brocade fabrics, maybe trimmed with black leather/faux leather?
great!

Proenza (FW12) inspired pieces with the brocades
Ive been searching high and low for similar brocades because I loved the oriental vibes from that collection and have always had a thing for that fabric. Would love to see something done!
The gold lace reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana FW12 so that could be its use too.

Amazing fabrics !!!
