S.W.A.P. Fabrics Part I

I picked up some fabric at a local fabric store. I really only stepped in to grab interfacing and some canvas material for 3 bags I'm going to make. Wow, it was a good day to come. They are having a sale and the fabric were actually nice (the store is in the Bronx so you can understand my surprise). They have a sale right now of buy a yard and get one free in one section, buy 3 yards for $10 in another and the rest that are on sale are $2-$4 a yard. Not bad. Check out what I purchased below. My S.W.A.P. colors are gray, white, black and an accent color of red, fuchsia or deep orange (I haven't decided yet).

THE JACKET & PANTS
McCalls 5193 - Pant (solid gray) & Jacket (plaid)

I wanted it darker, but it's nice anyway.

This was the last of this fabric. It is about a yard less than what the pattern asks, but I have a plan for it. I'll share it with you in another post.

THE WHITE SHIRT
I'm replacing my original white shirt pattern for this one Butterick 4985. McCalls 4922 I bought fabric for it anyway so it wouldn't feel left out.
THE DAY DRESS
Burda 7783 I purchased this pattern at patternreview.com. It's also available on sewingpatterns.com
THE SWEATS ALTERNATIVE TOP
McCalls 5586
A BAG
I making 3 bags. This is the fabric I purchased for one of them. Butterick 4148
