July 26, 2011 at 12:33 pmI would use the first and third fabric for gowns–not just any gowns, but 18th century gowns! The second would make an amazing, huge tote; to carry around my sewing, or beach-y items, or shopping!

July 26, 2011 at 1:15 pmI am finally learning how to sew, and these prints would be stellar with some skirt/dress patterns I’m eager to make. These are just gorgeous, and the rest of the fabric line looks fun too!

July 26, 2011 at 2:24 pmThese fabric remind me of the french country side. I would use the third to make a dress for myself to wear to my friends wedding with a full skirt and fitted bodice, the second I would use to make cushions for my porch furniture which would make my porch so cute and cozy and to top off the french country flare I would make throw pillows for my porch furniture out of the first. With the scraps I would make lavender rice bags to be used in this upcoming winter to keep warm and peaceful!

July 26, 2011 at 3:24 pmI love bags, so it would be fun to make bags from the fabric. I was also thinking pillows or skirts/dresses and using the extra fabric to make accessories (headbands, bracelets, belts, or whatnot).

July 26, 2011 at 4:07 pmI am about to move to another town and need to decorate a flat from scratch. I see these fabrics on my bed, which I don’t have yet as I don’t have the flat either, but these would make a lovely pillow arrangement. I would love them there as much as I love to look at them here :)
