no4daughter said...

I would love to use this fabric (one of the cutest fabrics I have ever seen) on a tote bag. I am trying to get up enough courage to open an Etsy shop and this fabric might give me a nudge in that direction.

I just knew with a kick ass blog name like, "Scarlet Fig" yours would be a super giveaway. And you did not disappoint!

I LOVE that fabric. I have a chair thing, but for representational chairs only. My house is curiously void of chairs...

I would stretch the fabric over one of my thrifted embroidery hoops and add it to my growing wall of inspiration and goodness in my craft room/etsy shop room!

I'm going to go check out your shop now. I am always stunned how many cool shops their are on etsy that I haven't even seen yet!

While I don't sew, I have great visions of displaying this fabric on some of my favorite pillows and admiring them from afar, lest I actually laid on it and disturbed the impression that it was actually sewn on. Or, I'd give it to my sister, who would no doubt make a fabulous quilt that I, also, could admire from afar.
