Ni...Hi guys! Glad you liked the discount offer. :)<br /><br />Niki, 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? <br /><br />And yes! There will be a Flickr group. I'll probably set it up over the upcoming long weekend.<br /><br />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.Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-70542887895141402082010-11-22T09:05:22.503-05:002010-11-22T09:05:22.503-05:00Yippee, just ordered gorgeous lawn from Sewbox - r...Yippee, just ordered gorgeous lawn from Sewbox - ready to rock'n'roll!Gaylenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-44473509784441138692010-11-22T05:36:12.096-05:002010-11-22T05:36:12.096-05:00Thanks for this on behalf of UK readers!

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?Nikinoreply@blogger.com
