I bought this cherry fabric at Lincraft recently in a 40% off fabric sale. I LOVE SALES! I only bought one metre because that's all I'd need to make a skirt. Afterwards I realised the border print was only along one selvedge, which meant the border wouldn't go all around the hem of the skirt, so I went back to Lincraft to buy another metre... Of course I wasn't the only one with such fantastic taste in fabric, so unfortunately it was all sold out! As were all the other Lincraft stores in Canberra. So it sat in a bag for a two or three months because I couldn't decide how I would utilise the border print. Should I have it only on the front hem? Or use it in the waistband? Or run it up a side seam? In the end I decided to just have it on the front hem. And I can't see the back when I'm wearing it, so I'm pretty satisfied LOL.
