The yukata cloth and the novelty prints that I showed previously are Japanese fabric printed by Japanese companies. There is also "Japanese style" fabric that were printed by companies such as Kona Bay and FreeSpirit around 2006 and 2007. There were lots of these in the estate sale bin as well.
For those of you who mentioned that you are interested in Japanese fabric for the giveaway, if you win, I will want to know your preference for yukata, novelty or floral (or a mix of all three).
For those of you asking for Buddy's help in choosing fabric, here is his fabric from the bin. As you probably already know, extremely ugly fabric attracts laser dots, so almost everyday Buddy attacks and beats out any laser dots in these fabrics. And I know that Bonnie Hunter says that you can cut an ugly fabric smaller, but some fabrics are so ugly you would have to fussy cut a one inch square and none of us have time for that.
If you win and asked for Buddy's help, he will want to know if you want your fabrics pre-gash or with a gash.
I've found a great project for those novelty/ugly fabrics: trash bags (for the car or the sewing room or right next to your favorite recliner). I've put some bare-bones instructions on my site: https://cbottsprojects.blogspot.com/2019/12/eight-or-10-is-enough.html
ReplyDeleteI like making these so much that I'm gearing up to teach a session for my quilt group!

Since I haven't seen what a Buddy gash looks like, i would say pre-gash. I think I would make more intelligent gashes than Buddy I won't be chasing a laser dot. :-) AS for the Japanese fabrics I would say a mix of all three.
ReplyDeleteWe don’t seem to have fabric estate sales in our area. Maybe I sound look for advertisements more often. You’ve found a great fabric stash! - Beth in AL
