I got my fabric order!
Which is very exciting (the one I ordered in march before getting covid). Most of the fabrics are beautifully soft and the colours are so vivid.
And while I have plans for some, I am rethinking my plans for others...
Because they're so soft.
This is better than fabric land.
(It shouldn't have taken until July for me to get it, but I haven't been up to walking to the store for it and they kindly contacted me on Wednesday)
I still want to make a dress from the Frank Lloyd Wright fabric. It is way softer and more flowy than expected. 😍 worth the premium price imho.
The modern art one is probably going to become a t-shirt. It too is a very soft cotton.
I'm truly impressed by how soft they all are. And while washing may change some of that, usually they don't become miserable with the machine sizing cleared out.
The turtles are also super soft....
I'd been thinking about making a reversible bucket hat in the turtles on white and the animals holding hands on the medium green for a family toddler... but they're both so soft and I'd be worried about the white being a bit see-through that I may need to figure out a stiff interlayer or something.
Yeah, I can see where you might have the darker colour visible without a lining player of some sort. A flexible interfacing would probably work, give a bit of structure to the sides but not too much?
Yeah. That's what I'm thinking, too.
I'm also thinking that, with my energy as it is right now, it's going to happen for next summer, not this one. 3 year olds still need hats!
It’s very cool! Tho I did see a design on here (an artist with a Spoonflower shop) that very Hawaii - except it was skulls with pineapple head gear. Bright yellow and green. I’m still thinking about whether I’m ambitious enough to do buttonholes…
There is some great stuff. I try not to visit very often, just to keep things under control. I might actually get the pattern as a throw blanket…Lar DeSouza.
