What would you do with this fabric.

The first, I have 3 yards of, and it is 54 inches wide.  It is a silk
brocade.  I
was thinking about making something like a pet-en-l'air, (French Jacket) as
found on page 30 of Arnolds Pattern's of Fashion 1.

S-G,
If you do the 1880s it would make a charming jacket to a walking suit.
The early 80s are particular prone to earth tones like this.

The second may be harder.  It is tapestry, also 54 inches wide.  I have a
little over 2 yards.  I love this fabric, but it is a little bright.  The second
picture gives you the best sense of how bright it is.  It is
'reversible,' but I >
am not sure I like the "wrong" side enough to not line it.  But I have no idea
what it is appropriate for.

Oooh, I'd redo the upholstery on my dining room chairs, except that I
just did that last summer.
