Update on my fabric fiasco
So, I was tossing out all that fabric from my failed 113 dress and I noticed the original unwashed fabric has the same discolorations. It came from the store that way, I just didn't notice. For some reason this changes my mind about it. Like I didn't cause the damage so maybe it's suppose to be that way. It's probably just cheap fabric and I should move on. Right? But, I think I'll fish it out of the trash and think about it for awhile...

Is it possible then the discoloration isn't dye that's run but actually printed this way? It would be nice if it was after all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteRescue! Yes, the fabric was no doubt meant to have a mottled look. Good. You'll end up with a beautiful dress after all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a quandary! "It's a feature, not a flaw!"
ReplyDeleteEither way, I think you are a great pattern matcher. ;)
Yay! That'd be cool, if you decide to finish it, because it looks like it's going to be a really sweet dress. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree that you should think about it. It's a beautiful dress, and I am really impressed with the fabric matching on the back. If you really wouldn't wear it, you might as well try dyeing it, right? I mean, it couldn't hurt, and it might turn out really cool!
ReplyDeleteThat or go ahead and wash it and make it bleed the dye out and live with the end result.
ReplyDeleteGo for it! I thought that fabric was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth saving, no matter what the dye issue was.
ReplyDeleteGo for it...It looks like you were almost done.. so why not....
