Small Yardage, Large Print

What do you do when you have small yardage (1-2 Yards) of a fabric but it has an extremely large floral print that you are not sure of what to do with it? Or how about something very bright?? What would you make?  HELP!!! 







I think this is a Sateen.  I got it in a Fabric Mart mystery bundle



 

I have this exact fabric from a Fabric Mart mystery bundle.

Sewing Update and Creation Decisions

I know it's been a minute since I've written a blog post. Kinda lost my sew-jo for a minute which happens pretty much anytime my room is messy. It needs cleaning now, so I can do some sewing. 

So far, I have made some New shirts, finished a UFO from last year and made myself a comfortable and modest swimsuit. I have taken pictures with my phone, but eventually I hope to have better Quality photos as well as more reasons to take pictures.

Now onto the meat of this post-creation decisions. As I have previously mentioned, I have purged about 99% of my wardrobe due to my gaining weight and unable to fit them anymore. Now t have no casual clothes other than what I wear to work weekly, and the ONE pair of jeans that I own. I normally wouldn't be complaining or freaking at, bot I'm going on vacation in a month. Since I'll be gone for a week, I'll need more than PJ's and t-shirts. I made a plan and I have to stick to it. I'm thinking that this will more of a wardrobe project as well.

This is what I need:

Dress for church

Dress for my little brothers wedding

3 pairs of pants

Pajama pants

5 Tops

Cardigan sweater type thing.

I have from now until 8/7 to finish to give me time to pack. I will be keeping things simple so that I can finish and have time to pack. The first step is to figure out what patterns I'm going to use, then match fabric to the pattern, cut and sew.

My Casual Style

Wish me luck. Feel free to comment with any suggestions.
