Knit Fabric Bundles

Description

Sew yourself a beautiful knit top from one of these knit fabric bundles!  Each bundle includes a floral knit print plus a smaller piece of a coordinating solid knit fabric for contrasting sides, binding, cuffs, trim, or wherever your imagination leads.  Each fabric is 56-60″ wide and is a blend of either viscose or cotton and elastene (a/k/a spandex).  Pre-washing strongly recommended due to shrinkage.  Please select the print/color combination and quantity you prefer for fabric image and specific fabric content and yardage.

There are 3 color combinations to choose from:

• Grey/taupe background with floral motifs in ivory, darker gray, blue green and olive is paired with an ivory solid (we see it as “champagne”, the supplier named it “moonlight”) and pictured in Modern Lilies Knit Tee.
• Reddish/orange background (we are calling it “papaya”) with floral motifs in ivory, dark gray, and orange is paired with a dark gray solid and pictured in Floral Fabulousness.
• Soft aqua background with floral motifs in pink/peach, ivory, darker green, and gray is paired with matching dark green solid (and will soon be pictured in a knit top).

Bundles are available in choice of three yardage quantities to minimize waste:  1.5 yard (1 yd print + .5 yd solid) or 2.25 yards (1.5 yd print + .75 yd solid) or 3 yards (2 yd print + 1 yd solid).  Choose quantity based on requirements of the size to be made and the style of knit top or other garment you are planning.  The 1.5 yard bundle is enough for an XS-M knit top with short or possibly 3/4 length sleeves or a cropped sleeveless top in most sizes.  Longer tunics, full-length sleeves, and larger sizes will require a larger bundle.  If possible, use your pattern pieces to determine yardage required.

There are two samples shown here of knit tops sewn with these bundles.  One Tabula Rasa Knit tee in the papaya print has a V-neckline accented with dark grey binding down the center front and center back. The other top features a Wide Neckline Variation with angled collars and elasticized cuffs in the gray print.  (Rae used the dark gray and mallard green solids with it, which we found to be too strong, so have paired it with the champagne solid in the bundles.)  Visit our Photo Gallery to be inspired by additional knit top samples, many of which were created from bundles like these.
