Friends, I have one yard of the most amazing fabric ever, and the time has come to find a project for it...
...but what could I make with one yard of the craziest, most boring comic book strip fabric ever??
(No, seriously. Some of the panels say, "Oh! We're having my favorite for dinner." )
Since it's only one yard, and it's a very light cotton, I was thinking perhaps the lower bodice and skirt fabric for the Macaron, but there isn't nearly enough. I also think a blouse might be a bit overwhelming, but I'm wondering if there is a pattern out there that might change my mind. I need your help! What do you think I could make with this epic fabric? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
XOXO,
Meg
do you have enough for an epic pencil skirt of awesome?
ReplyDeleteFront panel on an epic pencil skirt of awesome?
ReplyDeleteI'd probably make a tote bag with it, but if you want clothing, it's probably enough for a Tiny Pocket Tank as well.
winnie of scruffy badger made a cute tulip skirt that only took a metre if i remember correctly. would there be enough for that? simplicty 2451, blogged here: http://scruffybadgertime.co.uk/2012/07/simplicity-2451-tulip-skirt-teal-linen/
ReplyDeleteCenter panel of a pencil skirt or dress. That way the print won't overwhelm and you will be less hampered by yardage limitations.
ReplyDeletei'm in the middles of a huge square scarf, ukranian knockoff. a little fun around your neck?
ReplyDeleteI vote for a fantastic apron! :]
ReplyDeleteA bag gets my vote, then you could use it every day. There is a great free tutorial over at A Very Purple Person blog. The original is reversible, I've made it 3 or 4 times now, sizing it up a bit and adding zipped pockets and phone pouches etc. You'd have enough for a matching wallet or make up bag too. Great fabric :)
ReplyDeleteI think you should make a skirt - a basic a-line will not take that much fabric.. How wide is the fabric?
ReplyDeleteI vote for a skirt of some description... though I do like the apron idea too!
ReplyDeleteWhat about the upper bodice for Macaron? Pair it with a solid color teal green or red to bring out the red / greens in the fabric, and some contrast piping?
ReplyDeleteI think it would be cute as a short sleeve summer jacket or bolero. It would look great with jeans or a LBD.
ReplyDeleteI could see it as a bib or yoke detail in a tank or tee! You could pair it with a solid color that features in the print, and that wouldn't be too overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteI second the suggestion for apron, especially since the panel references dinner, it'd be cute.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Janice - it would look great as part of a macaron
ReplyDeleteI'd make a sorbetto or tiny pocket tank--but that's just me :) I wear jeans with a top and cardigan many a day to work, and that fabric would pair so well with just about any color of cardigan.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I agree about the sorbetto :) Or if you don't have enough for that you could make one heck of a conversation starting scarf :)
ReplyDeleteDahlink, you need to make thyself a Comic Book Dress: http://pinterest.com/pin/278097345711234788/
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Sorbetto too. Cardigan, jeans, you know... basically what thegarmentfarmer already said.
ReplyDeleteget a couple yards of a black contrast and make skirt A from Simplicity 2413. Your comic print can be the lower panel and waist tie. I made this skirt and I LOVE it! - Bethany
ReplyDeleteHow about something like this? Super cute! http://www.etsy.com/listing/83350721/last-one-comic-book-polka-dot-mini-dress
ReplyDeletegreat fabric, I think I agree with the others who say a panel in something would look great.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that comes to mind is a Sorbetto...
