Lion damask

September 29, 2016

This fabric design was one of the first designs I put together, and I still really love how it turned out.  I think one of the designs looks like a lion.  Do you see it?

I printed this on the cotton lycra at Spoonflower, and it didn’t print out a true black.  You can see the difference between the black on her cotton lycra leggings.  I bought two yards of it, so of course I had to use it up.  I made myself a pair of comfy Urban Joggers from WBM, and then this top for her.  The pattern is my own draft.

I made sure to have one of the lines going down the middle so it looked even on the front and back.  Luckily I had enough left to do so.

I made the top tunic-length so it would cover her bottom in the leggings, which are the 5 out of 4 leggings from the Shenanigans Skort.

This is a nice comfy outfit for fall!
