I passed by an upholstery shop in the neighbourhood, and they had a pile of discontinued sample swatch books piled on the pavement outside, with the prices scrawled on them.

For a small sum, I came home with a whole book full of large squares of cotton damask in marvellous patterns and colourways (pale blue and chocolate! hot pink and crimson!), plus a couple of remnants of brocade.

Most of my sewing projects are pretty small (chalkbags, etc.), so it would be wasteful to buy vast swathes of fabric; I'm always on the lookout for remnants and ultra-cheap secondhand clothes which can be taken apart. But this was exceptionally pleasing.
