This one I though would be a dress with bits of plain yellow as there's only 1.5m, but the yellow I got with it just isn't right (wrong colour, not stretchy enough.)  However, it doesn't have any real direction to the print so It might well become a circular skirt.  If so I'll use the main skirt from the walk-away featured on GBSB a couple of years ago.  I've used it as a skirt pattern before; just adjust where the seam goes and add a waistband.

I have 2m of this printed ponte but I'm undecided what to do with it.

But aren't those three copies of the same fabric?  Confused!

Anyway, I would be daring and put both prints into one garment- go on, be bold

That was the answer to your question whether your fabric counts as floral  ;)

Ooops, except that it wasn't you who asked the question, it was bodge....
I hang my head in shame and slap myself  :fish:

So... floral... does it have to be "in yer face" flowers, or can subtle be used?  Ok, maybe it's not subtle, but it's subtley floral...

It'se definitely floral  :)

I have a stash full of florals so should manage something for this. In fact I've just cut out a dress in a lovely purple flowered rayon - it's a vintage fabric and I think it's rayon so let's see how that turns out.

I'm in! If I can't make a floral top in the time space I think I should give up!

Mudcat I love you plan for the Maisie dress! I bought the pattern after seeing someone wearing the style the day it was released but then got bogged down on how to shorten it proportionally and put it to one side.

I managed to edit out the original red foral fabric.  The two yellow and black ones are different,  look closely,  One is gigantic irises the other is stylised daisy type flowers.

I have quite a lot of floral too.  I could do something with these:



It's very soft and probably more suitable for a blouse;



I don't really know what this is, but the pattern attracted me.  Might be enough for a short jacket or pencil skirt, but I don't have a suitable pattern for either; and



This is a drill/twill and I would most likely do a full skirt from it.

I also have two lengths of precious Liberty Hanako in



Blue/green;

and



pink, which I am never going to cut.
