Should I Buy This Fabric?

Internet, it’s only March and I’m wanting to stray from my 2018 Make Nine plans. I saw this fabric during a random search that led me to Stitches Seattle, and I fell hard:

It is…Japanese/Hawaiian print double gauze with…pirate ships full of fabric loot? Eee! I am picturing a lengthened Tamarack Jacket–maybe constructed to be fully reversible?

However, not only would I have to buy the fabric, I’d have to re-buy the jacket pattern so I could cut a larger size, and I just made a statement quilted jacket. Also, it’s going to warm up in the next six weeks.

I’ve been trying to talk myself out of this for a over a month now. But that priiiiiint……

You Could Make That

I have a backlog of sewing projects and really need to make some shirts and jackets, but I’ve been eyeing ridiculous tropical skirts instead:

I found the perfect print to recreate this for my imaginary life of leisure–but it’s on outdoor fabric. Do you think it would be too much like wearing an awning? (Probably.)
