ewwwwww!!

craftymatt2 02-12-2011 08:32 AM

Oh My was my first choice also, but i think i would make a pillowcase out of it or a bag. I have a friend who would love it. Its not to bad. LOL

liese 02-12-2011 08:39 AM

OBW!!!

annieshane 02-12-2011 08:41 AM

I couldn't even begin to comment appropriately on this fabric! Too much.......

dixiechunk 02-12-2011 08:50 AM

That's a little overboard. Some folks actually enjoy a little humor occasionally. Just don't buy any if it is offensive to you. quote=SewExtreme]I saw that fabric this past week and made note not to buy his fabrics...Alexander Henry...

Ridiculous was more along the lines of my thought. Please, designers, leave that stuff off our much loved fabrics. :-D[/quote]

Yep, that is exactly where I was going with this print. Can you spell YMCA?
You are all so funny! And so is this fabric!

rexie 02-12-2011 09:08 AM

Not sure how whacking on some of that would do.

Debra Mc 02-12-2011 09:09 AM

You girls don't like the stud muffin look? Could be real funny to make up.

Ok totally cracked up on this one.

scraphq 02-12-2011 09:26 AM

This fabric not for me, but love all the great humor it evoked here.

stormatsea45 02-12-2011 09:41 AM

OHHHHHHHHH! I agree, but I could see some one making boxers! That way they'd be covered up, but you'd have to find a guy who would wear them!! :-D

Girls wear boxers too. Some crazy college girl just might snatch them up. How bout a large body pillow case.

jgriinke 02-12-2011 10:10 AM

It would make a cute pillowcase. I made myself one with the outdoors guys, that I take to retreats. All the other girls are jealous - I don't have to sleep alone - I have "The boys."

Damsel in DisDress 02-12-2011 10:24 AM

There is always one person for every fabric!

Debra Mc 02-12-2011 10:26 AM

You know that is why they say-"one person's trash is anothers treasure."

arline423 02-12-2011 10:28 AM

I always think of an OBW when I see fabric like that. Thanks.

AnnaK 02-12-2011 11:22 AM

I'm sure for the right audience, this is a great fabric. I think it's fun to look at but I wouldn't know what to make of it or who to give it to. I think it's great the variety of opinions on this. "There's something for everyone"

lynnie 02-12-2011 11:29 AM

i think it's cute, i know a woman at Joanns who made a pillowcase for a freind out of it, how about a obw

sandi65 02-12-2011 11:30 AM

Hahahaha!!!! I am 65 and it made my day. I really had to take a double and triple look. Tee hee!!!! Thanks for sharing and making me laugh.

It is from a line of fabrics portraying gay men - not that there's anything wrong with it (as Jerry Seinfeld said). There are some I would call distasteful that has the men embracing etc...pretty graphic.

whippie !!! for some one

BellaBoo 02-12-2011 12:01 PM

I think it's in very poor taste and looks tacky. I guess it appeals to a different mindset.

greenini 02-12-2011 12:03 PM

Thanks for the pillowcase idea. I bought several yards of his cowboy prints, same idea, but really tight jeans, bare chests to make ,yes, trapunto pillows for my gay buddies. It doesn't seem to be working out too well, but the pillowcase idea might be easier.

I can't wait to see their faces!

i was just thinking dd would love for her dorm room next year... just don't know what her daddy would think off it... lol

natalieg 02-12-2011 12:25 PM

Wow----I don't know what to say-just nothing I would buy myself.

damaquilts 02-12-2011 12:43 PM

I used some of his pin up Hawaiian girls to make a quilt for my nephew. I asked his brother what he was into, He said Girls, cars and beer. Thats what his quilt had. LOL

butterflies5518 02-12-2011 12:45 PM

what a truly conversation piece!

You were the first one to say it, but this was my first thought when I saw them too!!

Now this news does not surprise me at all. Have to cater to every part of the market!

ronnie17 02-12-2011 01:43 PM

I think this could be a fun OBW...just for laughs

shemace2901 02-12-2011 01:52 PM

not my cup of tea but would like to see what someone makes with it.

Country1 02-12-2011 01:58 PM

I think it is funny! No harm, no foul. :XD:

tadpoles_62 02-12-2011 02:07 PM

thanks for sharing , made me smile , maybe a OBW :lol: :lol:

Fabricnut 02-12-2011 02:08 PM

My first reaction is it would make a guy a nice pair of boxer undershorts to wear on Valentine's night. You know how some men like to run around in just boxers. I remember a few years back when guys and gals were both wearing boxers for summer shorts.

bev195000 02-12-2011 02:16 PM

Lol that's kinda weird never seen fabric like that before,,,what would u use it for???
