I think I'm usually pretty conservative in my dress, nothing too bold, but sometimes I just fancy an exception to that and I NEEDED this fabric &#8211; it just seems &#8216;young'. Do you know what I mean?<\/p>\n<p>I bought this graffiti knit fabric at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/7948432\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.fashionfabricsclub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fashionfabricsclub.com<\/a>, which is a great site for beautiful, <strong>but low-cost<\/strong> fabrics. \u00a0It was a bit more than I usually spend, but it's really great quality, very nicely printed, a heavier weight ITY knit, and more stable than the thinner and lighter ones I usually buy. That made it really nice and easy to sew with too and gave the circle skirt some more body.<\/p>\n<p>I can't find the exact fabric anymore, but Fashion Fabrics Club has a fun collection of other interesting knits, so check them out. \u00a0I'm really wishing I had bought the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fashionfabricsclub.com\/p141489_36671-coral-red-floral-baby-hatchi-sweater-knit?cjevent=b901ae50ceb911ea803f00de0a24060f&utm_source=cj&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_camapaign=So+Sew+Easy+Pte+Ltd&utm_term=7948432_13466880\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coral red floral<\/a> one too!
