What to do with a silly amount of good quality vintage velvet?
Alright sewing pals. I have a bunch of velvet from my gran's 1980s/90s bridal/fabric store and have little ideas what to do with it.
14 metres of gorgeous coral velvet?! 7m of a dark green/black? Vivid red? 7m of white?
What can I make? How would you incorporate velvet into everyday garments without making some sort of tracksuit or children's christmas dress?
Ideas welcome. Some of the ideas rolling around in my head are using some velvet and wools I have to make a colour block Marlo cardigan sweater (ill use a knit for the cuffs/collar). And.... that's all I've got so far.
Side note: my gran's inventory tags are so precious to me. What an artifact!
