Hey June Key Largo
6:00 AMI loved being able to share a great pattern with you last week AND a fabric sale. Who doesn't love knowing that you can pair x fabric with y pattern and get perfect results? So, we're doing it again. Only this time, better. Because I've got a special discount from Hey June AND a Fabric Sale. Be sure to read to the end of the post for the discount code.
This week I'm talking all about stretch wovens and the Hey June Key Largo.
Up first fabric for this project. The Hey June Key Largo says you need a lightweight woven. I have to admit, I don't like silky wovens. They're a PITA to sew AND they tend to become static-y in our dry climate. No one likes static. It doesn't feel good to wear and it doesn't look good. That leaves cotton fabrics. Simply By Ti has 2 woven fabrics that will work great for this top.
First up is our stretch cotton poplin. Our cotton poplin has a nice crisp hand. Which might make you think that it isn't a great fabric for this project. I agree that it may not give you a great shape for the hemmed version. But if you're planning on making the knot, you don't have to worry about the hand/drape of the fabric. Simply By Ti has 6 stretch poplin fabrics (black is not pictured) that would work perfectly for the Hey June Key Largo!
