I am attempting an entry into the Floral SAL, but having gone through my stash, nothing jumped out at me. So, on my Saturday morning trip to the Fabric Store, I bought three beautiful pieces of fabric, two cotton lawn, one polyester, there are at least 7 mtrs in total for £25 – not bad. Then, on my way home I scored a lovely piece of viscose/rayon in a lovely cream, 4mtrs for £1!
So you would think I had enough fabric? Well, it’s all beautiful, but the poly (small pastel floral), seems a bit young for me, the brown is a double border print, so not sure if I’ll have enough for a dress (2 mtrs), the last, and most lovely, is the turquoise on dark green. It is laid out like a double border print, but each large motif is separate. The last two will also need washing, not just for shrinkage but for colour fastness.
I’m asking for pattern suggestions, bearing in mind the short lengths, and unusual designs.
