Great piece of fabric
|
Fantastic! Made me laugh right away. My daughter got a tattoo of the sun and the moon on her STOMACH when she was away at college - three pregnancies later and it doesn't look quite the same.
|
Halloween costume?
|
too bad that wasn't little football helmets, I would buy it then it could be USM fabric,
|
If one can use fleece as backing on charity quilts knits should work. Has anyone tried that? Maybe in place of batting?
Also good for doll clothes. Some American doll patterns call for knits although they do not require a lot of fabric. OH! I am going through TONS of "what was I thinking" fabric. I used to sew all my Gkids baby and toddler clothes. I have more cotton knit than a person could use for TWENTY kids in a lifetime. I don't sew clothes any more and would love the space for quilting fabric. I have been wracking my brain on what to do with all this cotton knit. ANY IDEAS???????[/quote] |
TOO funny. Maybe you were thinking of being one of the first to make the people trips to the moon and wanted a nice warm blankie to hold for security. LOL The girls here have given you lots of good ideas though so I'm sure you will find something to do with it.

Something magical, perhaps! :-D
|
Love it! Of course I love Fall/Halloween fabrics
|
Definately backing fabric perhaps for a lot of "The Cow Jumped Over The Moon" quilts ????
|
Hey, now is the time to use this fabric...make Halloween wall hanging, table runner or placemats. There is all kind of uses for that fabric.
|
You could also just make it into a fun "Halloween" table cloth! It would hide any *spill* known to mankind.. lol
|
Do the moons glow in the dark??? I like it.
|
Screams cape lining to me, too!
|
It's amazing but this really is an example of "one person's trash is another's treasure." This is exactly the type of fabric I've been looking for to use on my Halloween Series of quilts. Enjoy it and use it well, my friend. :-)
|
Just remember that a bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist. Perhaps that explains it? And yes, I've fallen for that too.
|
I like the material.

I think it is friendly banter too but did not want her to feel she had to give it away for little of nothing. Nice fabric, lots of it and so usable in so many ways. If it was me I would have used it up long ago. However to make you all feel better I do have much stuff in my stash that also should have been used up long ago.
What we need here is a fabric swap. Did this at the quilt guild. It was so much fun and new stuff for our stash. |
Making a few Halloween lap quilts, or a backing on a Halloween quilt...or even a "What was I thinking" quilt

But knit isn't as comfy as fleece and tends to be hard to work with if it is combined with a non-stretchy fabric. I have enough knit fabric here that I could dress every American Girl doll in the world. My American Girl days are over, I don't like sewing doll clothes. |
I relly like that fabric. Great backing for tablerunners or anything.
|
I can see a whole bunch of boxer shorts :o)
|
You could make a Wizards costume -My favorite holiday is only 20 days away

I had this exact material, I used it to make a halloween log cabin quilt(barn raising style), it turned out really neat. Just have to find the right application for that particular material.
|
Halloween quilt backing, halloween tote bags for candy.
You can find some uses for that! :) |

My "what was I thinking" fabric is large floral fabrics with black or navy blue backgrounds. I liked the navy background so much, I bought 2 pieces of it!!! Have thought of turning it into doggy or kitty blankets for the local pound here for them to go with the animals to their forever homes.
