Bob Mackie is a big time designer. Years ago he made dresses for all the beauty pageants and for a lot of the stars. He even designed a dress for Barbie! (the doll) At the time he was doing dresses for pageants, I was doing swimsuits for pageants so some of my clients were his clients at the same time. He is a fabulous designer but I've never seen his fabrics.

Now, I just cut up an old skirt to use in a quilt; is it possible this seller did the same with a Bob Mackie apparel or decor item?

Somewhere in an antique store, I saw a collection of Barbies wearing various Bob Mackie outfits. They were priced in the hundreds!! All beautiful. But, didn't know he designed fabrics. You might do a search on bob mackie fabrics and see if anyone has his fabrics for sale.

I have several Bob Mackie tops and while they aare beautiful the material wold not be used for quilts. I also had a jacket he mde. It wa denim and embroidered. It was beautiful but I would not have wanted to cut it up for a quilt. So when I shrunk out of it I gave it away. If this woman is selling this material you should definately ask what the material is made from (cotton, denim, polyester). Is it stretch material or not.

I don't know about him designing any fabric, but he does design wearing apparel for QVC. I love his cologne, and wear it all the time. I was quite surprised that I have no allergy to it. I have used it for years. It is a tad expensive, but I have had so many compliments on it and have been so lucky to be able to wear it with my bad allergies.
