I've learned it's probably because the fabric wasn't meant for me...sad to say but true. Border prints are fantastic for out of the box uses and I do buy them even if I can't see anything from them originally, storing them until I do figure out what to do with them!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-6543174627984754622018-10-28T17:46:57.333-04:002018-10-28T17:46:57.333-04:00Catherine - it's what I love about border prin...Catherine - it's what I love about border prints.

Though I'm doing another donation of the last of the sweaters and tops I've been holding onto from when I worked in Corporate America. Which will give me some more space. And since I work everyday, everything gets worn. Of course, some (my faves) more than others but everything gets worn.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-1462702822915526882018-10-27T22:58:17.774-04:002018-10-27T22:58:17.774-04:00This is the most original use of a border print I’...This is the most original use of a border print I’ve ever seen!

I love what you have done with this border print, especially bringing the print back at the collar.
