I love the Liberty poplin above, as well as this fabulous polka dot lawn. Wouldn't it be so cute with a brightly colored sash? I'm thinking hot pink or lime green.

I'm so excited about this sew along I can hardly stand it! However, I'm already worried about my fabric choice. I picked a really cute cotton floral, similar to the pink print shown above. Do I need to worry about matching the print at the seams? I bought a little bit extra (an eighth of a yard, I think), but I'm worried I won't have enough. Maybe I should stick with a solid, given that this is my first real garment?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! :) I'm so pleased you have deals for your UK-based readers too. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat news fo us in the UK, and a gorgeous selection!! Will there be a Flickr group for this sew a long?
ReplyDeleteGaylene, I was just going to ask if there was a flickr group yet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this on behalf of UK readers!
ReplyDeleteI too am a bit worried about using anything with a pattern on. Should beginners stick to something straight-forward?
Thanks
Yippee, just ordered gorgeous lawn from Sewbox - ready to rock'n'roll!
ReplyDeleteHi guys! Glad you liked the discount offer. :)
ReplyDeleteNiki, if it's a really busy print and it's not too large, you can probably get away with not matching it. If the floral is really orderly and symmetrical, you might notice the mis-matches though. Why don't you try holding the fabric together so it imitates a seam and see how it looks?
And yes! There will be a Flickr group. I'll probably set it up over the upcoming long weekend.
Poppy, see my notes to Niki above. You can definitely do a print, but choose a small-scale one, like little polka dots or tiny flowers.
Så flott - Jeg elsker retro :-P
