Fabric for clothes - a lot went to my inventory!

After finishing my trial pieces, I started to buy better quality fabric in the last month. I have bought a 1,3m mixed linen/cotton and a 3m T-thirt material I have mentioned in Vaci út, and also some very nice 100% cotton for my working shirts .









Then I went to a fabric outlet (Diffusione Tessile), where I bought beautiful 100%linen:

0,8m dark blue 0,8m light blue, 1,2m light blue with a little purple sheen, 1,6m purple, 1,6m natural beige. The price was 1350/m - originally 2000/m but there was a 30% sale. (The orange it the same as above.)


and some more shirt materials, all of them 1,6m, price same, 1350/m instead of 2000/m. It is a mixed cotton-elasthan material



I also bought a denim like 100% beige cotton, 1,6x1,5, 2700/m instead 4000



I finished with some t shirt materials:

Erzsébet körút Eurotextil, 2000/m 100% cotton, 1,x1,4m piece


Erzsébet körút Eurotextil, 2200/m 100% cotton  0,8x1,8m dark blue, 0,7x1,8 light blue piece


 I also found in the discount chain a very nice 100% cotton material. There were some holes in the material, so the 2,0x1,4 piece was 720HUF (~2EUR), originally 490/m


Materials bought: 27m - adding the previous 6m it is 33m - huh, it is a lot!

  • linen: 7,3m
  • pamutjersey/mix: 7m
  • denimlike cotton: 1,6m
  • shirt cotton&like: 11m

  • 2 t-shirts - 2x0,8m 1 trial 1 quality fabric
  • 1 comfy pant - 1m - trial fabric
  • 1 pant discarded - old fabric 1,2m
