Today I drove my mother and a neighbor to a fabric shop.
And I bought the bit of cotton canvas suitable to make a couple of bags / backpacks to be screenprinted, exactly as I had planned to do.
And I absolutely have not bought a full dress and a couple of waists. Not even if the goods were really good quality at an exceedingly affordable price.
I did resist buying broadcloth for the skirt that will go with those waists, because black broadcloth is something I'm always going to find, and first I need to make the whole set of underthings for it.

(3 small bolts of fabric in light brown, red and almost electric blue, seen from the side)
And I forgot to mention that there may also have been a cut of black lace, probably enough for an overskirt and to decorate a shirtwaist, and I didn't take a picture either (uops).
