Would you like to know more about the Easter fabrics I posted a picture of above?
In the upper-right corner is a classic cotton Easter egg printed fabric. I bought this at North Coast Antique Mall, in Long Beach, Washington. This Antique store has lots of dolls for collectors of every kind, but my favorite room was stocked to the brim with antique fabrics!
The green keepsake calico cotton fabric with white dots you can purchase online at JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts. (Use the link there.)
But the yellow heirloom fabric with white and black splotches is a mystery to me. My daughter made a dress out of it, and she had a little left over. So she gave me some scraps for doll clothes projects. Does anyone know where she bought that beautiful and unusual fabric? If so, please leave a comment below!
Remember, if you enjoy my free patterns and tutorial videos, please continue to share them on social media. It really helps a lot!
Possibly the yellow material is from a flour sack. Do you think? In the late 1970s, I had opportunity to see real flour sacks in real use as flour sacks! I saved one, a yellow one, to make a very simple dust cover for my sewing machine.
It’s certainly possible. I know that my daughter bought this material at JoAnn Fabrics here, in Idaho, but JoAnn’s has been running a lot of retro re-issued fabric design patterns in the past five or so years. So maybe they did a re-issue of a flour sack pattern.
What a cool thought! Thanks for sharing your idea here!
Hi! I’m interested in scaling up this pattern to fit a real person- with the measurement tool, is it supposed to be cut out and used that way, or is it meant to show you the scale of the pattern? I just need to know how many inches each side is.
Wow! That’s an ambitious goal!
The measurement tool is meant to help you print the pattern, especially if you have to print the pattern in portions. Most people living outside the USA use different paper sizes than we use in the United States. My measurement tool helps them decide whether or not they’ve printed the pattern correctly.
Once you print, you lay a ruler down beside the measurement tool. If the ruler in your hand and the measurement tool “ruler” on the pattern match, you’ve printed the pattern correctly.
That’s how my measurement tool works.
