A couple of years ago at a Stoffenbeurs in the Amsterdam RAI, I saw the most gorgeous cut fake fur in a shade somewhere between lilac and steel that I've been calling greyple (gray + purple). I quickly snapped it up and then proceeded to find some coordinating fabric for a dress or pants or top to go with it. Naturally I bought fabric for all three: a matching wool twill for pants, a wool blend in a sort-of mini-herringbone pattern for a dress and for the top a lightweight jersey with the most amazing hand in a saturated pastel mint that matches the herringbone wool.
The first fabric I worked with was the jersey, but I had trouble with the fit and it is still an UFO, so that post will have to wait.
