There are some fabric lines that speak to you, and the newest line by Dodi Lee Poulsen for Riley Blake Designs, did just that!
Meet Lulabelle. This line has some for everyone. From whimsical birds and birdcages to geometric prints, Lulabelle is the perfect fabric for home decorating, quilting, and even clothing. The sophisticated whimsy will have you ohhing and ahhing!
When I first set eyes on this line, I immediately fell in love. I adore the mix of prints and the colors are so inviting. I was instantly drawn to the navy colorway, but knew I would end up mixing and matching among all the fabrics. With 3 gorgeous colorways, there is something that will tickle everyone's fancy.
I decided on Lulabelle main in navy, Lulabelle medallion in navy, Lulabelle bowtie in mint, and Lulabelle scallops in navy. I wanted to show how easily all of the colorways worked together.
I instantly knew the perfect pattern for these lovely fabrics. The Sophia skirt met all the criteria for showing off multiple fabrics!
I adore this pattern because not only is it fast and fun to make, it is perfect for any season!
Pair is with tights and boots in the fall and winter, or throw on a cute tee and sandals in the spring and summer! Nothing beats a garment that can be worn year round.
The patchwork skirt is a wonderful way to show off many different fabrics. Instead of an ruffle along the bottom of the skirt, I chose to use an accent band. I wanted to show how lovely the mint bowtie fabric is against the 3 navy fabrics.
The Sophia Skirt is a free pattern and tutorial available on the Violette Field Threads blog. Make sure you head on over and take a look, so you can make your own patchwork skirt!
Riley Blake Designs fabrics once again far exceed all expectations. They are beyond dreamy to work with and sew up beautifully. The soft and supple quality make working with these fabrics heaven.
