This is a new Liberty print, and I waaaaaaant it. Too bad this eBay auction (click to go buy it and taunt me with it) is only 1.75 meters. I need at least four yards to make a giant lampshade dress. And it will take pretty much all my powers of restraint NOT to make a matching lampshade hat, because -- well, because it would be really, really funny. (Even funnier if you know that I'm teetotal.)
This eBay seller does have more listed, starting at £15/meter, which would work out to being more than $100 for four yards. Plus shipping. I think I will have to wait!
At first glance I thought that this fabric was a corset-print. Then it looked like a bunch of three-gore skirts. Then I got the lampshades. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...

You've got the right sort of face for a cloche...

Jenny, I thought it was a corset print too. Maybe it's just the Monday thing.

Ahh, I did good on this one I saw right away that it was a lampshade print. Iam doing much better then last week when I thought the bunnies were aliens.
