Love Affair With This Fabric

[lyric]

These type prints speak to me for some reason but I've never pictured how to use them. This etsy seller has them as fat quarters and larger cuts. A typical 50's dress out of this fabric (in my size at her prices) would be well over $50.00.

Still I love the vibe of these fabrics. I have yet to see a quilt or an outfit made of this type of fabric.

Just sharing love of fabric.

Those are neat. While I haven't seen these fabrics used, my daughter adapted a "woven" pattern alternating a square of oriental with three of the colors of the material. I did a fundraising quilt in a similar style. Simple, but with nice fabric, very pretty.

I think those would be cool as those bulletin boards that have ribbon criss crossing on them. I think a couple would be fun for a pair of summer capris. Very fun fabrics!

I love those boards! Yeah, that would be cute, Hulamoon.

I found this seller on eBay when I purchased the no. 4 fabric. Get this, at that time I did not know about FQs, right, so I ordered one and when I get this tiny piece of fabric (compared to the 1 yard in my mind) I was po'd. Thus my intro into the FQ, ha ha. So, I've had this FQ for a couple years just sitting in what could be called my "stash", stash that it is. I had originally purchased it to make a peasant blouse. Now I pull it out every now and again, eyeball it, touch it, fold it and put it back.

I just received my versatile wave purse pattern and instructions. That fabric would be an astounding reversible base for my purse. Yeah, that'll be nice AND I'll get to see/use it regularly. Here's a pic of a "Versatile Wave" purse. I am IN LOVE with this purse, it's versatility. versatile wave 2.jpg

In case the link does not work her etsy name is: Scizzors, her name is "Pat".

Keep us posted if you get some.

Goodnight all.

I made and have seen other totes made from the line that the colored one on the right is from. That was a nice line of fabric! Hard to find anymore though.

Re: Love Affair With This Fabric

I checked out her store and saved her as a favorite. She has some fun fabrics!

Great ideas! The bulletin board is terrific and definitely purses. Throw pillows for a bedroom would be fun.

Re: Love Affair With This Fabric

I've been looking at making this quilt, but haven't found the perfect fabric yet. Your fabric reminded me of it.

Very interesting fabric.

Re: Love Affair With This Fabric

All those ideas are great. The fabric is so pretty! Here's a good quilt I keep in mind for prints I'd rather not cut up too small...
This one was blue, but my picture turned it green.
It's just a log cabin type block with extra large center blocks.
