I discovered the German store <a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stoffhaus Tippel<\/a> on Sena Sews&#8217; blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/sewbedo.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sew Be Do<\/a>. On a note not related to fabric, I am amazed at how much German I understand now that I know Dutch. Anyway, with the pattern drafting project comes of course the sewing of said patterns. And to sew the patterns I will need fabric. <\/p>\n<p>Taking advantage that Stoffhaus Tippel has a few fabrics on sale, and others are quite affordable while not on sale, I went on a spree and bought fabric enough to sew three skirts (one with underskirt) and a jacket (or two and a dress) for my mother and a t-shirt, some trousers, a dress and a skirt &#038; jacket combo or another dress or trousers for myself. And so I don&#8217;t forget what fabric is what, and what is it destined to be, I&#8217;m listing here what I bought.<\/p>\n<p>For my mother:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/Ramie-Leinen-uni-natur-dunkel\">Ramie Linnen<\/a> in a dark natural solid color. 100% linnen, 140cm wide, 340 grams per meter. 1,6 meters at 6,95\u20ac\/m. It will become a skirt.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/Dirndlstoff-Dirndl-Stoff-Landshausstoff-Landhaus-Stoff-Shop-kaufen-Meter-Laufmeter-Dirndl-Landhaus_5\">Broderie Anglaise<\/a> in chocolate brown. 65% polyester 35% cotton, 145 cm wide, 110 grams per meter. 1,6 meters at 4,80\u20ac\/m. It will become a skirt with underskirt.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/Batist-Stoff-uni-creme\">Batiste<\/a> in light cream. 65% polyester 35% cotton, 150 cm wide, 160 grams per meter. 1,6 meters at 3,00\u20ac\/m. It will be the underskirt mentioned above.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/Schnaeppchen-Stoff-WSV102\">Stretch Poly-Wool<\/a> mix, in beige. 42% wool 55% polyester 3% elastan, 150 cm wide. 4 meters at 2,00\u20ac\/m (down from 7,50\u20ac). It will become a skirt and a jacket, or a dress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And for myself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/Schnaeppchen-Stoff-FS-003\">Stretch Jeans<\/a> in black. 97% cotton 3% elastan, 125 cm wide. 3 meters at 2,50\u20ac. Will become a pair of trousers for myself (either jeans style or dressier).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/Schnaeppchen-Stoff-WSV087\">Stretch Poly-Wool<\/a> in grey.  42% wool 55% polyester 3% elastan, 150 cm wide. 4 meters at 2,00\u20ac\/m (down from 7,50\u20ac).Will become a pair of trousers and a jacket, or a dress and short jacket.<\/li>\n<li><strike><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/Schnaeppchen-Stoff-WSV107\">Pure wool<\/a> in a blue \/ grey \/ lilac flecked colorway. 100% wool, 150 cm wide. 3 meters at 2,50\u20ac (down from 9,50\u20ac). Will become a short sleeved winter dress.<\/strike> It&#8217;s sold out, bummer.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/index.php?a=5734&#038;\">Wool-Poly Jersey<\/a> in black. 50% wool, 50% polyamid, 160 cm wide. Approx 1.9 meter at 4,00\u20ac\/m (down from 7,50\u20ac\/m). Will become a LBD (although not so Little since I&#8217;m not what you&#8217;d call little). This substitutes the flecked pure wool from above, that is sold out (insert pouting face here).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stoffe-tippel.de\/Jersey-Stoff-BE-200-80-rot\">Stretch cotton jersey<\/a> in red. 95% cotton 5% elastan, 145 cm wide. 2 meters at 4,90\u20ac\/m. It will become a t-shirt style top, hip length.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The total came to be 64,40\u20ac (still the same since I ordered fabric for the same value to substitute what was sold out), plus 12\u20ac shipping. That is 76,40\u20ac, and an average of <strike>3,67\u20ac\/m<\/strike> 3,88\u20ac\/m including shipping. I can&#8217;t complain. If I add up how much it would have been with original prices, it would have come to <strike>129,40\u20ac<\/strike> 115,05\u20ac before shipping (in which case the shipping would have been 6\u20ac, and <strike>6,51\u20ac\/m<\/strike> 5,84\u20ac\/m on average). I saved <strike>59\u20ac<\/strike> 45\u20ac. I can do a little happy dance and start drafting patters <em>now<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>Quirks of this shopping: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the store is only in German, so if you don&#8217;t speak German, be ready to use a dictionary or translation website,<\/li>\n<li>sometimes the classification of the fabrics makes no sense (at least to me), so take your time to browse all the categories,<\/li>\n<li>they only specify shipping for Germany and rest of Europe. If you&#8217;re planning on shopping from abroad, you&#8217;ll have to email them to check the shipping rates,<\/li>\n<li>they only take bank transfers for payment. Forget about credit \/ debit cards and paypal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other than that, it was quite a painless shopping. I&#8217;ll let you know when my fabric arrives and I&#8217;ll make sure to take pictures for the stash. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I went (virtually) for a fabric stash enhancement.
