Happy #FabricFriday friends! I have the day off today and I plan on finishing painting my 1950s larder/kitchenette, as well as doing a load of sewing over the weekend.
I'll tell you now, I'm head over heels with this poppy-print fabric of mine...so much so that I definitely paid more than it was probably worth. But what's a gal to do sometimes?!? I just love the brightness of the poppies against the grey-ish background! I think it used to be a chair or sofa cover in its previous life and it's kind of a cross between barkcloth and heavier upholstery fabric. The print is pretty massive and my fabric is divided into two pieces which are 110cm squared. Enough to play around with...but what to make with something so loud and beautiful? Your suggestions are invaluable and made me look at my novelty bathroom print in a completely new light!
My plans for the weekend are to sit in a corner and weep because that poppy print barkcloth doesn't belong to me! Honestly Marie, that's probably the most beautiful fabric I've ever seen! xx
ReplyDeleteOh man I'm with Jane! That's STUNNING!!
ReplyDeleteI could see that as a tunic top over a pale grey fitted dress. You wouldn't want to detract from the print with too many seams, darts etc.
ReplyDeletei think i'd make a sleeveless, A-line dress, so hopefully the print wouldn't be broken up too much, and you'd make the most of the gorgeous print! :)
