More fabric wittering

[cupcake_goth]

corbaegirl very, um, helpfully points out that the "Ghastlies" fabric comes on a mauve background.








What I would probably do with the fabric is use it as a center panel in a 4-panel knee-length full skirt, with the rest of the panels made from black fabric. And with a 10" wide border of the "Ghastlies" on those black panels. (Which may be a bit beyond my pattern-drafting and geometry skills, but we'll see.)

I need to find someplace near me that has the mauve background version in stock, so I can take a look at the color in real life. Because my GOODNESS, that fabric is cute.

That fabric is made of awesomeness! Sadly, there are no fabric stores in the vicinity (except for WalMart). I think a fabric quest is in my near future.

I think it would be cute as a bustle for a black skirt.

oooooooooh. I want.

you could make a skirt out of it :)

I think it would look marvelous as a princess seamed long jacket.

Or you could cut the characters out and make patches to cover a black skirt in. Or a jacket.

It really is. Some of the scenes look like they might make nice, smaller appliques also.

^right! Ooh, a long jacket would be so hellified.

Maybe at a quilting store? They tend to have the coolest prints. I like The Quilting Loft in Ballard (on Market Street across from where Archie McFee's used to be).

I just bought 3 yards of it in white. OMG I adore it. Soon it will be a skirt for me with black lace and pink bows!

I also bought the mauve background with bats. Soon to be bloomers!

Try Hancock's Fabrics' website. I found it on there, among others from the collection.

A friend of mine told me today that Ghastlies fabris is available locally at Pacific Fabrics.
