I think that fabric just screams better homes & garden cookbook (i have one of every decade since the 1930s. With only two yards I would still want to make a dress, but with some contrast panels or trim since I'm an amazon. I love the bows on that pattern. I have the repro retro butterick pattern 5748 that has one bow.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848789612409874592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-78227309000401622732013-07-01T02:51:32.959-07:002013-07-01T02:51:32.959-07:00Ugh,completely forgot about this giveaway!

If I were to win the adorable fabric, I might make a dress from pattern Simplicity 8087, which I purchased because you've made so many cute versions. :) Perhaps the fabric on the top and the bottom with a black middle; or fabric on the bottom with a white top and black in the middle.

I LOVE this fabric--I think I'd make myself a cute skirt (using some black cotton, since I probably can't squeeze a full skirt out of two yards for me! ;) ) or maybe if I'm feeling really kitschy a playsuit. :D <br /><br />And I adore your dress! It is way too cute--I'm especially loving the bows at the back of the straps--what a great detail! Gonna have to remember that when I make a sundress in the future... ;)Caseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-89107753430127803822013-06-27T14:35:44.480-07:002013-06-27T14:35:44.480-07:00Love the print of your dress.

I had a similar adventure when I tried a recipe that my sister gave me: red wine cake. The cake really exploded in the oven and all the inside was splattered with dough. First I was really shocked, then I had to laugh but I couldn't laugh any more when I cleaned the oven for hours and hours. But these stories are worth to be told and then I can laugh again.Miss Maplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864381202412749804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-8292020905013854712013-06-27T12:24:48.545-07:002013-06-27T12:24:48.545-07:00I would make a cute retro playsuit.

Note: May also be used as a regular pattern. Which makes me wonder, what kind of a pattern did they feel it was? Were they marketing to NASA? Was there specifics in your directions for sewing out of tin foil? But, you know, if you're out of tin foil... you COULD use REGULAR material. And yes, I'm commenting randomly so I don't count which is okay cause I have my own stash of random material and cookbooks that I should probably give away myself. You know, if I had a blog that anyone read. ;) Dessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948894541326662648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781163151779948787.post-71374057070109921262013-06-25T07:38:39.439-07:002013-06-25T07:38:39.439-07:00I want to make an apron with this print.

I check for your blog every morning before school and it always starts my day with a smile.

Thank goodness they are not thongs or I'd be saying I want to use that fabric for re-slipcovering my recliner and while I love the fabric, it seriously does NOT go with my living room decor. Anyhow, unlike everyone else, I would not use the fabric for a dress or apron. We have a 'camp' (you might call it a cottage) by an Adirondack Lake, and my kitchen curtains (which I made about 15 years ago) are red-checked gingham, but seriously faded. So I think I would use the fabric with some coordinating fabric to replace the curtains. And maybe if there's leftovers, I'd make some pot holders or a toaster cover.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.com
