It's a sheer floral with a green sheet for the lining.<br /><br />It's not my first curtain dress, though. I used yellow sheer florals before, and I've used an off-white sheer with leaves, topped with a tapestry curtain bodice.<br /><br />I'm also working on finishing a pair of pajamas made from a sheet. Because people know I'll take old sheets, I haven't bought any of these curtains and sheets.The Prudent Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229771550830911638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-26912947119955311012012-03-16T12:19:49.464-07:002012-03-16T12:19:49.464-07:00I used the Tulip brand fabric paint that I got at ...I used the Tulip brand fabric paint that I got at Joann's. It's a little too tacky for my taste, and it dries quickly, but it holds up really well. I've only washed it a couple times, both times handwashed in cold water, but the cats remain unchanged.

I don't know that I would have thought to add the cat stamps if the fabric didn't already remind me of the movie...and I just happened to have the perfect stamp already carved. Lino carving is pretty simple once you get the hang of it; give it a try!<br /><br />Melissa, how did the smocking go wrong? Did it refuse to gather?Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-25405929420709975832011-10-19T19:53:30.778-07:002011-10-19T19:53:30.778-07:00Too cute!

And, I like how you kept them to the bottom area of the skirt and didn't overdo it (a mistake I'm sure I would have made). I agree with Natalie's comment above, too: stamping on patterned fabric is something I wouldn't think to do on a garment, but now I may have to start looking at things a little differently!CJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10008255818909186046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-85027003152360862972011-10-18T12:39:10.875-07:002011-10-18T12:39:10.875-07:00The ninja cats are my favorite.

We spent a good amount of hours trying to get both of our sewing machines to take our elastic thread. So now we have a dress that's 80% done...except for the smocking. I was going to borrow another machine and see if that would resolve the issue.melissanoreply@blogger.com
