This panel print is also a cotton, but heavier that a voile. I just love this colorway. I got 4 panels in this cut.
And this is a true border print with borders on each selvage. In this photo, it is hanging with selvages at the top and bottom. It is a rayon somewhere between a challis and a crepe. Hard to describe.

I have no idea yet what I will do with these lovelies, but I hope to get a pattern picked and at least one sewn in the next couple of weeks. Don't want these fabrics to languish in the stash.
I had a couple of hours in the sewing room this afternoon. I got a Louise Cutting Anything but Ordinary "GO TO" top cut out. Then I sewed some pillow cases for the Ronald McDonald House. Our ASG Neighborhood group delivers colorful, fun pillowcases we have made at least once per year. These are my first 10 that will go into the collection. Last year we donated 283 total. It's a worthwhile project, and it helps sew down my stash of those quilting cottons I never got around to using as well as those remnants I pick up along the way just for this annual project.
Very pretty fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dorothy and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a lovely thing to do and what gorgeous fabrics!I'd love to get my hands on that last one !Have fun making something wonderful out of those lovelies!
ReplyDeleteyes, when I want to sew, but not think much (ha) pillowcases to the rescue!
DeleteYou find the best fabric! I get lots of ideas from Anthropologie, seeing what their designers are doing with unique fabrics like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terri. I'll head over to Anthropologie site and "browse."
DeleteI also try to stop in and check out the garments in the stores when I'm visiting a city where they have them. I'm especially interested in the construction and how the seams are finished - or not
ReplyDeleteHA! You are right--"or not" Maybe next time I'm in Dallas near Northpark mall, I'll be able to stop in the store and check the garments out in person.
DeleteLinda, love your fabrics!! Great colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. Seems I'm really drawn to blues lately.
DeleteGotta love a border print. Lovely fabric.
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are very pretty, and have great potential for unusual garments. I especially like the rayon print. The colors are so smart!
ReplyDeleteThose are great fabrics! I have never been to Super Textiles. I will have to check them out next time I'm in Dallas.
