Italian Stretch Cotton Textured Stripe
A couple of details make this piece special, when you look close the way it is woven gives it texture and dimension, the red is overlapped with tiny ivory cotton threads and in between are grey pinstripes very tiny and every other one is woven in a different pattern. Also this has a bit of stretch to it so if you want to make a wrapped snug type garment this will be to your advantage, or you can ignore. Suitable for summer dressing, opaque, loose skirts, shirt dresses, tops, loose pants. stripes run crossgrain.

Minimal Black Wool Graph Stretch Shirting
This is a very cool fabric, woven like a tiny gingham graph with an open weave, hard to see but those are holes. An understated, minimal piece for fall. On it's own or layer with white or another color under - weight is substantial enough for many types of projects. You can even run a tiny cord through it. A little stretch, some crisp body. By the yard or in a 5 yard cut.

Goutarel France Silk Rose Brocade
Trying to get more. From Goutarel like the others, the base is like a black organza silk with the raised black metallic and satin floating roses which are poly. A lighter slighty transparent, really meant to be first underlined. It is perfect for a Couture Party Skirt. Retail on this would be around $159. Price is per yard.

Luxury Quilted Jacquard Faille
This is a little work of art. The face has a geometric pattern in angles of raised somewhat corded sateen lines on a faille base with tiny prikstitches woven throughout. It is a very special piece - impeccable. Not drapey, suitable for a piece with structure, maybe duster coat over a spring dress, a slim skirt, or fitted jacket. Color is a midnight. A blend of cotton, viscose, and poly - the poly is woven on the wrong side so I recommend lining. Perfect for understated Drama.

Ribbon Tweed
Interesting piece, colors are grey, butter, black, with accent in aqua thread. No synthetic. The ribbons are similar to hem tape but nicer and folded tight like a spaghetti strap then woven with black and aqua thread that is not poly I think cotton could be rayon. Both sides are usable and offer something interesting. Gives bias - could make an interesting MV Bias Pullover.

This is one of my favorites right now - it has an interesting textured weave in a geometric pattern, it is very soft, you can even make pull on pants with an elastic waist, skirts, soft jackets.
