Well in going through my stash I found one fabric in particular that I really want to use. It's a medium-weight border print knit that I purchased well over a year ago. I'd love to sew it into a casual dress for summer. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nI purchased it with a specific pattern in mind, but I realized quickly after receiving it that it wasn't going to work out for that. The knit has a moderate amount of stretch, but it's going opposite of the border (selvage to selvage). That means I can't really incorporate stretch into my pattern that way I want the border to go. Plus, the border print really needs a simpler pattern to show off the print.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cimg src\u003d\"http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m36/shesgotthenotion/Monthly%20Themes/border2_zpsntnyaip7.jpg\" width\u003d\"600\" alt\u003d\"Border Print Knit Fabric | She's Got the Notion\"\u003e\n\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nI think it's a bit of a blessing in disguise though, because that means this fabric would work better with simpler silhouettes (i.e. easier to sew garments!). So I searched the internet for some inspiration. I've found two options that look easy enough to replicate at home without a pattern.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\nOption 1: \n\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis dress is a similar print and it's a similar to my \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.shesgotthenotion.com/2015/04/easy-beach-cover-up-sewing-tutorial.html\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEasy Swimsuit Coverup\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/a\u003e I made. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca data-pin-do\u003d\"embedPin\" href\u003d\"http://www.pinterest.com/pin/256423772510499397/\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003c/center\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\nOption 2: \n\u003c/h3\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis dress has a very similar type of pattern as my border print, which shows it off very well with the extra length. My only hesitation is it's a maxi dress and I am short (5'2\"). I think that this is a big print and it might overwhelm me. I've avoided buying maxi dresses (or even trying them on) because I am so certain that they will make me look even shorter than I am unless I wear some serious heels.
