Would this be weird?

I have a shower curtain that is 100% cotton and I love the print.  It is fairly large though and I wonder if it would be weird to make it into a dress?

  1. i would say go for it just for the fun of it =) I can't really tell the scale from the photo - how large are the birds? 5 inches? 10 inches? i guess just check your pattern placement and make sure none of the birds land in an unfortunate spot ;)

    i love the shower curtain i have right now, but the sun has faded the color in the middle, so i'm thinking about replacing it, but i was toying with the idea of using the parts that aren't faded to make something else, he he

  2. HAHA! I also posted this question on sewing pattern review since I don't have any/many followers and they said the same thing about "positioning". The birds are pretty large, about 6x9 inches! I think it could go either way, really weird or really cute. After I finish my current project, and possibly force myself to finish at least one of my UFOs, I may give it a try.

  3. I like the print, but those would be some big birds! :) Maybe as a circle skirt where I think oversized prints would work? I am definitely curious what you finally decide!

  4. What's the drape like? It seems like it might make a nice jacket. Maybe the Minoru?

  5. It's mid-weight twill with a fair amount of body. A simple shift would work with the fabric weight, I'm just concerned that the print may be a bit large and odd looking... Giant birds on my butt HAHA
