Help please, I purchased this fun fabric, it is 86x55cm, it was expensive and now I can not think how best to use it. Any ideas please.

Hugs Pam.

Really nice lining for a tote bag as it's light colored, fun, and you can find things!

I like to handstitch around randomly chosen objects/birds. Or wiggle sewing a maze/labrinth throughout the birds. "Birds of a feather flock together." "Our fine feathered friends."Long wall hanging? Really fun!

I like the idea of putting it on the back of a lap quilt, or place mats! It's just adorable! You can always just mail it to me! LOL

Pam this is lovely. As it was expensive and if it were mine I would be wanting to have it on show and I would use it on a bag in some way for first chice and in a cushion for my second choice. Look forward to hearing and seeing what you do

When I acquire an expensive, nice piece of fabric, I make as many cushions as I can. I use a plain or complimentary piece as the back so as not to use up all the fancy fabric on both sides. I have many cushion covers now, which I change as the mood takes me. I know that all my fabulous buys will be on display for all to see. Have fun!!

Use it as a band on a towel and then find an embroidery design similar to add.

I would make blocks of similar embroidered birds and use the fabric as borders and sashings or alternate blocks.

Buy some dark fabric to match your birds, then 'fussy cut' them to best advantage the pattern and make pillow covers or small quilt etc. They would look very bright in your summer living area.

I love the idea of a quilt. Some of those birds just beg to be digitised and would then be great to be combined with your beautiful fabric.

How cool would that be Martine ,they are cute birdies
by mops 10 May 2012
There is however the copyright to consider - you can't use the shapes, only draw and digitise something that has the same primitive and fun feel.
by justsew 10 May 2012
Thank you , It would be nice I would love a quilt, but I am just doing my very first attemped at a wall hanging, not tryed a quilt yet, and I am in the middle of my first digitizing. not sure what it will turn out like.thank you for your ideas.
Hugs Pam.
