I have got to stay out of the fabric store.

So I went back today to buy more of what I needed.  The black gauze, and one of my students liked the gold chiffon and I said since I was headed there anyway... I'd get enough to zip up a veil for her too.

And I fell in love with this beautiful wine & gold patterned chiffon. (cheap)  Just love it.  - I was thinking awesome circle skirt - 60 inches wide but only 3 m.  (that's about ... 3 1/2 yards.)  So now I'm trying to figure out... how to flex my pattern to make this work.  Dammit!  I'll figure it out somehow.

And what the heck - I bought 7 m MORE of the gold chiffon.  so I should get a 3 panel circle skirt out of that.  

OMG.   and they had a ton of this glorious satin charmeuse on sale *weeps*  but I resisted.   I really don't want more circle skirts. 

Question. I wash my fabric before cutting& then drip dry on a clothesline.  The other day I washed the white gauze that I bought and threw it over the line as usual.  Now when it dried - it stretched out of shape all across the portion where it was draped over the line.  I'm going to have to rewash and throw into the dryer - aren't I? Alternate drying suggestions welcome.
