The iconic Merimekko fabric; a perennial favorite. This print is being made into a 60's inspired shift dress from a vintage pattern. Can't wait to wear it!
Is this fabric appropriate for curtains? I'm wondering if it will drape or if it is stiff like canvas (using clip rings on a rod, with 2.5X to 3X fullness). Also, would you advise lining curtains to preserve the color? Thanks!
1 Answer
It is very appropriate for curtains! I would suggest adding a backing if you were going to use it in a window that gets a lot of direct sunlight, as the colors could fade over time.
Would this fabric be appropriate to use as part of a child's quilt? Or would it be too heavy for piecing? What about hand-quilting? The pattern and color are perfect but I'm concerned about the weight. Thank you!
1 Answer
The weight of this fabric is appropriate for quilting. It is not too heavy for hand stitching either.
I read something on your website that said a fabric with a repeat larger than 1 yard will be sold by the repeat, but I was confused because a repeat of this fabric is 1.14 yards, but it is still sold by the yard.
If I want 2 repeats, can I just order 2 yards of fabric?
1 Answer
Some fabrics are sold by the repeat while others are sold by the yard. This distinction depends on the design, rather than the size of the repeat.
If a fabric is sold by the yard, you can order half yards if you are looking for a more specific amount of fabric.
Please simply round up when you are adding the fabric to your cart. At checkout there is a 'comments section' in which you can specify the exact amount of fabric. When we download your order, we will pro-rate the cost of the fabric and send you a new order confirmation.
