The kids here went back to school on Tuesday (well the youngest two anyway, the other two have completed their schooling) and after I dropped little man at school this morning I decided that, as I was already out, I would drive up to the local Spotlight (similar to JoAnn's in the USA) and get lightweight interfacing for tracing off patterns. I had to sit there for a little while waiting for them to open but never mind I always have a book with me in the car for just these occasions.
While I was there I spotted two fabrics that would be suitable for tops or a lightweight jacket for the little man. The aqua fabric has a ribbed texture and the red one has a textured reverse. Both are knits that are heavier than interlock but not as heavy as double knit, perfect for 'Summer into Autumn' wear.

I only wish, now that I am home and realise that the already discounted fabrics were marked down even further for club discount, that I had purchased another metre or so of each. Oh well, the store is not far away so once I get these washed & dried and get patterns laid out I can always go back if I need more. The only problem there is I might see something else I want :)

Lovely colours and the textures look good too. Why doesn't my spotlight have this sort of stuff?

I think I was rather lucky with these, they don't usually have much of anything I like. It will be interesting to see how they wash and sew but I am not overly concerned, little man is growing fast so I only expect the pieces to last a season or two anyway.
