I’m planning on doing a major wardrobe upgrade this year, and one area of concentration will be color. For years black has been my base wardrobe color and this is the year I want to add at least one other base color.
With essentially no local fabric store I make most of my fabric purchases online. With black as my main color this has been fairly easy, since black is pretty much black across the board. Trying to buy browns and blues is kind of hit and miss when shopping online.
Navy blue is a base color I want to focus on this year. Today I took a road trip to Joann’s and found this nice blouse weight polyester. The background is a very dark navy and features birds. It definitely appears black in the photo, but oh well.

I also found this print which I think will be nice for spring and summer. This one is navy also.

Another color that I want to wear this year is a soft green, and I found these two fabrics that came home with me also. These two are midweight jersey knits that will work nicely for my climate.


This brings my 2023 Fabric In to 10 yards.
My 2023 Fabric Out amount is 5 1/2 yards. Vogue 1859 was a real fabric hog.
I plan to do a quick muslin of a new pattern tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!
Great choices! I can’t wait to see what you do with them!
