The Sew Weekly Sewing Circle

What to make with this fabric?

Hello, sewing folks!

I was just hoping for some help from all of you. My mother-in-law gave me 5 yards of this fabric, and I cannot figure out what to make with it. (Sorry for the wrinkles.)

The squares are about 8" each side, so they're pretty big.

Any suggestions?

I would do a lovely full skirted summer frock - wish I had this! 5 metres should just about do it.

I would make the lining of a jacket/coat and a matching scarf.

I agree with Marguerite - a summer frock would be great. Or possibly I'd make a hippie-style long skirt!

I agree; something like this would suit the print, and it needs massive yardage!

This  looks like a reproduction hanky print.  I'm thinking a full skirt also-Bohemian style. Would be cute cut on the bias.

This looks perfect for a pic nic bag and spread.  I've seen some cute patterns out there for bags, and the spread would be easy enough to make.
