I have some good news, and some bad news.
The bad news is that when I opened my package containing the fabric I did NOT like the blue. It was way too purple. Plus what's more, when I unfolded the yellow liner, I found it to be quite stained, a corner was cut off, there was tape in it, and it had been cut down the middle and sown back together. That was quite a disappointment.
The good news is that I found a different fabric on amazon that is a way better color. I also really liked the grey.
So, I will be returning the blue and yellow, keeping the grey, and purchasing a navy blue.
What I am kicking myself for is not thinking of looking up the same type of fabric anywhere else before I ordered the wrong color of blue instead of just praying it wasn't as bright as the picture showed.
Anyway, while I wait for the fabric, I'll probably start making a pattern. I found a really great tutorial for that here. I did the same thing when I made my Tauriel costume.
Namárië!
Aww! That is so disappointing! At least now you can get what you like? Hopefully this is the last hassle of the project. :) <3 Good luck making a pattern!
