Happy #FabricFriday friends! Got any fun weekend plans? I'm off to London after work to catch up with my uni girls and I'm particularly excited about the glorious weather in store.
Today's fabric from my stash is cheap as anything (both in cost and quality), costing me just 2 Euros a metre from a poky fabric shop in Cyprus. It feels like polycotton and would definitely need lining to feel nicer against my skin.
Despite this, I just couldn't resist the cool print. I love the black background against the other vibrant colours and the zebra border-print is to die for! I can visualise this as an edgy summer dress of sorts...maybe even a Dixie DIY Bonnell Dress.
I have 4 metres of this fabric and it's 112cm wide. What do you think I should make?
I've got a thing for Zebras (stripey!!) and this fabric is beautiful. I would make a great dress. xx
ReplyDeleteThat would be perfect for a Bonnell!
ReplyDeleteHoly moly! A Bonnel for definite. Plus with the left over fabric you need a tank or scout tee with zebras along the bottom too.
ReplyDeleteI love the zebras! I like Jennifer Lauren Vintage's Felicity dress for boarder prints. I tired one last week, and cut the wrong size, but it was looking pretty good until then! (I saved the border print as an elastic waist skirt).
ReplyDeleteA BHL Kim for sure with the border only being used in the skirt - go on - do it!
ReplyDeleteIs it a thick cotton? It would make a fab waist length swing jacket with the Zebras along the bottom. I have just bought a vintage vogue pattern for £1.50 uncut in Whitby on holiday for one.. Will share in the pledge when it is done. Jo x
ReplyDeleteFabulous! My laptop's just had a zebra-inspired makeover (new cover) - I can't get enough of them.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE this fabric!!! How about a Belladone???
