My fabric finally arrived on December 13th. Well, at least the strike-off’s arrived! I gave her my digital files on September 27th.
This is not a speedy process.
I ordered the 5 yard minimum of these 4 different prints, and they are $17 yard, so not cheap. I really do like the quality, but not sure I will be doing much more like this. I am not normally noted for an overabundance of patience, and I will wager a guess that it will take another 2-3 months to get my fabric. That is a 5-6 month turnaround. Meanwhile, I will have to sew up something small in these prints. There was a nice large square taken out of the sides of these yard-sized pieces, which I assume is the printer taking a sample for when they print the main order.
I put a color catcher in the wash and it was needed (cold water wash and dried in the dryer). They are a really nice weight, and something I can make leggings with since they are heavier and have good recovery.
Sorry – crappy cell phone picture
I really wish the timeframe for ordering this was more reasonable, or I would likely order more. At this point, though, I will get my current order in to cure in my stash and call it good.
Pro: The fabric weight and quality is great for the cotton lycra, and the printing is crisp and clear.
Con: 5-6 months to get your fabric. Oy.
