Ya, I don't really love co ops that much lately either. It's always a "well you had this many yards on this bolt and we are dropping it so you need to move your yards elsewhere" I hate that.. obviously I didn't want them elsewhere if I didn't put them there.
You mean if the fabric you wanted is dropped, you have to pick something else and not just get a refund? I would not agree to that at all. It's bad enough when something happens like Jessica described and only some of a line gets ordered so you end up with coordinates and not the main print you ordered for them to go with. I know co-ops work well for many people or there wouldn't be so many but some are definitely more organized and managed than others.
That is cute fabric, can't wait to see your creation
I stayed up MUCH too late last night making the skirt but I couldn't wait to see the results. I learned that the border print won't work as well for smaller sizes, though, so I'm glad I only bought enough for this one skirt.
The fabric is adorable. I think it would be great on the Audrey skirt! Having the dots on top would make it easy to turn into a dots skirt I think the reason why I thought the fuller back would be better, is because I have a fuller back Meaning on the bigger sizes, the bigger skirt backs would be better?
Well after doing some measuring yesterday, I realized I wouldn't be able to make the skirt much less full if I want it to be able to slip over hips the size of the measurements I'm using. I think I'll note that if the wearer has smaller hips, she can go down a size or 2 for the back piece as long as the front and back measurements at the waist are still enough to go over her hips. (Hope that makes sense).
Hey! I just wanted to pop in and post one of my newest creations.
It's a modified simply sweet bodice (shortened on top as well as the bottom to fit the requested design) - I used knotted ties that slip through button holes on the bodice and an attached apron. The pants are easy fits with wide ruffles. This was a request from a friend that likes the look of Matilda Jane designs.
That is very cute. She's always adorable but the colors are perfect for her.
