Jersey with realistic brown snake skin print

http://www.etsy.com/listing/55410916/jersey-with-realistic-bronze-snake-skin The snake skin pattern on this fabric is very realistic! Visually anyway, the dark browns to almost bronze, a very natural pattern and shine in the light. Depending on the fabrics angle to the light you can sometimes pick up a slight green tinge through the scales. The colours match the colours and shades seen on a real snake. It doesn’t feel like snake skin though, the pattern print makes it feel very smooth, over all like an extremely thin vinyl. The material is thin and light, able to be easily wrapped around bends if you were thinking about sculpting a garment or object with it. This jersey is quite thin and is see through in between each scale. Ideas! A light spring/summer dress or top would be stunning! You could also use if for inserts in a jacket or dress. Because it is so light, you may need to underline it to match the weight of the other fabric in the garment if you are using it ...

Today I love ~ Kiss by Klimt coat

This coat was one of the challenges on The Sew Weekly blog where an artwork was chosen (by the sewer) and used as inspiration for a piece of clothing. We loved the result of this coat compared to the artwork, and the way she used the stripes of silk fabric to create a new fabric for the coat. Very inspiring!
