A Couple More Cute Cottons

A reader just tipped me off to this really cute cotton lawn from EmmaOneSock. Wouldn't it make a lovely Crepe dress? I love the fresh leafy green!

While I was trolling around the new fabrics at EmmaOne Sock, I also found this fab Betsey Johnson polka dot cotton. It's lightweight and is another great contender for our Sew-Along.

I've ordered from this online shop once before, and they seem great. They don't bill you on PayPal until they've calculated your shipping, which can save a lot.

That's all for now, peeps! I'll be setting up the Crepe Sew-Along Flickr pool this weekend so you can start to show off your fabric purchases.

  1. My fabric just came in the mail today - it's a cotton lightweight shirting that looks just like the Betsy Johnson polka dot you've posted. This will be my first sew-along. I'm so very excited!

  2. I have the green leaf print in my stash, with plans to make a summer tunic. The color is gorgeous and the fabric is nice and silky. It washes and presses well. I made a summer top from the black and white version of the print. (FYI, I saw this fabric today at Denver Fabrics for less than $6/yard...disclaimer - I ordered from them today for the first time, so I cannot comment on the site) I can't wait for my Crepe fabric to arrive!!

  3. I think I'm planning on using a cotton rayon blend, would that be alright? I'm second guessing my choices so much. What neckline will you be doing?? Thanks heaps.

  6. I just ordered my fabric from Ann at Gorgeous Fabrics. I sent her an email before I ordered it to make sure it wasn't too sheer. She got back to me immediately!!! I really love her fabrics.....

  7. I had my eye on the same green print (I'm pretty sure it's the same) but it's discounted on this site:

    That's it, right?

  9. Ooh, I love this fabric and will now have to order some - particularly the green leaf print. Not sure what I'll be using it for, but isn't that what happens?? ~ sigh ~

  10. Ha, I got that leaf print last spring from Fashion Fabrics Club for less than $5 a yard. You might check there if you're still looking for it! I also made a (vintage pattern) skirt from it, turned out SO cute. The lawn is a nice weight for really full circle or dirndl skirts! :)
