some more floral fabric from my stash, considering I don't consider myself a floral person I seem to have quite a bit

Just experimenting with cloud storage so hope the links work and they don't affect the storage on the system.

I love the fabric on the right in the first link and the monograph one.  Where did you get them?

[sewmuchmore]

Fabric in the first link was bought from a seller on Ebay last year who was having a destash. The black and white is from HERE this is the second piece I have had, the first i bought 12 months ago and made a skirt with a plan black border. It is a Rose & Hubble fabric so quality is very good despite being cheap.

I've got my pieces cut out and ready for this one 

[Greybird]

I started mine this morning!

I'm going to make some more Style Arc pyjamas in a blue floral cotton. Just got to wait for the piping to arrive and I can start them . Well, I'm going to make the trousers I just cut out 1st.

I'm going to join in... I am going to make a floral blouse from this indigo/teal floral cotton. I will be using my TNT bias front blouse pattern, and inserting pale blue vintage micro rick rack (that I found on Etsy) as "piping" in the collar edge, and maybe down the front of the button band edges and the sleeve cuff bands

When I took a closer look at the fabric before marking the pattern pieces and cutting them out, I realised that the print was directional, which I had somehow not noticed when I bought it. This will complicate the cutting layout, as it would look subtly wierd, I think, to have the foliage not all going in the same direction. This fabric has so many colors in the print (indigo, medium blue, light blue, teal, light teal, leaf green, gold, and white) that it will be wearable with all my pinafores, including the new teal/black chambray and the new grey linen both waiting to be stitched up... I am eager to finish cutting this blouse out and getting started!

Beautiful fabric.  I went to an exhibition devoted to Liberty's and saw a jacket made from upside down fabric.

While this isn't Liberty (alas) the print had very much a similar feel to it IMHO, which is why it appealed to me. That is pretty funny that an exhibition garment would have missed something like that

Indeed.  I thought I had a photograph, but can't find it.

Indigotiger that is beautiful fabric just love the blues, I shall look forward to seeing the blouse when you have made it.

Two questions.

Would something made of plain (or non-floral) fabric, but with flowers embroidered on it, count as floral?

Are children's clothes OK?

@Acorn, children’s clothes are absolutely fine. Plain fabric with embroidery is ok, as long as the embroidery is somewhat dominant, (i.e. it should be eye catching, not something one has to search for.

[Acorn]

It would be, but at the moment I'm veering towards butterflies anyway.
