Judy Kski said... I REALLY like what you did with your "ugly" fabric. The pairing of the two fabrics are works great and the overall color is very "in" right now. What a transformation from the original picture to the final garments. Good luck with the contest! 6/28/09 1:40 PM
Miss Fairchild said... Great choice of ugly fabric! At first, I thought it was old drapery fabric from the 60's. 6/28/09 8:11 PM
Oceanpeg said... It does look like curtain/drapery fabric. I like the way it looks with the matching fabric and being worn as a set as you have done with it. 6/29/09 1:00 AM
Mary Nanna said... Great job! This looks great. How lovely to remember your mother in this way, I think that is so sweet and so gorgeous what you have done with it. 6/29/09 2:25 AM
Woolygal said... Wow, a vintage pattern that looks so up to the minute. I love it. 6/29/09 7:27 AM
barbcl said... Looks fantastic in really great fabrics. I like the contrast/matching of the fabrics, which really add a couture touch. Anything but ugly! 6/29/09 10:49 AM
Sherril Miller said... Your fabric is indeed ugly all alone. However, once you sewed it into this beautiful cardigan, it is lovely. 6/30/09 12:36 PM
sewfossy said... I love how this turned out! 6/30/09 1:11 PM
petro said... This looks really clasy, not at all 'ugly'. I can see why you fell for the vibrant colour, the textured surface works with that toning plain. 7/2/09 4:05 PM
AnneM said... Ok, I believe! That was an ugly fabric (or at least, I would have had a hard time figuring out what to do with it). But your outfit is NOT ugly at all. The texture of the fabric makes a great jacket, and it was perfect that you found the matching solid fabric. 7/2/09 6:37 PM
RuthieSews said... Great jacket, great vision! really love it (I am really into vibrant green this year!) 7/4/09 2:36 PM
Nancy Rhodes said... My new favorite color is lime green and all it's near kissin' cousin of apple, and kiwi and on and on,
I love your 'results' and a swan has emerged...
you have my vote.ll 7/6/09 10:21 PM
CarolynGM said... Pairing your "ugly" fabric with a solid and using a simple style resulted in a very attractive pair of garments. 7/7/09 7:26 AM
pterion said... you transformed that ugly fabric! Very nice jacket - I'd totally wear that. 7/7/09 4:14 PM
Moxie Carol said... Yikes! I remember this fabric from the 60s - only in orange! It was ugly on windows, much less to wear it! What a simple and fabulous transformation you made of it - makes me wish I had those old orange curtains... 7/11/09 2:22 PM
2 Airedales n Me said... What fun to see how your vision for this "yucky" fabric came to life. I love these colors - so much so I have a large and small leather bag in it, shoes and most recently earrings. It's a great color and your outfit turned out super. Way to go! 7/20/09 6:59 AM
SondraG said... I love it! The fabric is indeed an odd color and style, but you picked an excellent way to use it. 7/20/09 12:00 PM
